Call for Long and Short Papers

ICMI 2016, the 18^th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction
November 12-16, 2016
Tokyo, Japan

Full details including Calls for Demos, Grand Challenges, Workshops and Doctoral Consortium can be found at http://icmi.acm.org/2016/

The 18th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2016) will be held in Tokyo, Japan.  ICMI is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development.

This year, ICMI welcomes contributions on machine learning for multimodal interaction as a special topic of interest. ICMI 2016 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), demonstrations, exhibits and doctoral spotlight papers. The conference will also feature workshops and grand challenges. The proceedings of ICMI’2016 will be published by ACM as part of their series of International Conference Proceedings and Digital Library. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Affective Computing and interaction
• Cognitive modeling and multimodal interaction
• Gesture, touch and haptics
• Healthcare, assistive technologies
• Human communication dynamics
• Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction
• Interaction with smart environment
• Machine learning for multimodal interaction
• Mobile multimodal systems
• Multimodal behavior generation
• Multimodal datasets and validation
• Multimodal dialogue modeling
• Multimodal fusion and representation
• Multimodal interactive applications
• Speech behaviors in social interaction
• System components and multimodal platforms
• Visual behaviors in social interaction
• Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction
