SIMUTools 2017 is the 10th edition of the annual International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. The conference focuses on a broad range of research challenges in the field of simulation, modeling and analysis, addressing current and future trends in simulation techniques, models, practices and software. The conference is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas and across a wide spectrum of application domains.

Building on the success of the previous editions (2008-2016), this year’s edition will provide an exciting forum for interaction among academic and industry researchers together with practitioners from both the simulation community and the different user communities.… read more. “Call: SIMUTools 2017 – 10th EAI International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques”

OVERVIEW

Research in Human-Robot interaction is being vastly applied to assist humans in their everyday lives. Pertaining to this context is the application of robots for educational purposes, which has been emerging these past few years. Some robotic platforms have been developed for educational purposes (i.e. Thymio, Lego Mindstorm).  These platforms are mainly used in STEM. Several research projects have aimed to apply social HRI to education and learning in order to influence other disciplines such as languages or handwriting.… read more. “Call: Robots for Learning – Special issue of International Journal of Social Robotics”

Call for Participation

The 16th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality
9 – 13 October 2017, Nantes, France
http://www.ismar17.org

Deadline: 15 March 2017

ISMAR 2017, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), will be held in beautiful Nantes, France.

ISMAR is responding to the recent explosion of commercial and research activities related to AR and MR by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2017 will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of AR, which focused on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and real-time performance.

We specifically invite contributions from areas such as Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Vision, Optics, and in particular VR, and how these areas contribute to advancing AR / MR technology.… read more. “Call: ISMAR 2017 – 16th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality”
