University of Genova, invites project proposals for eNTERFACE'09, the 5th
summer workshop on multimodal interfaces, to be held in Genova, Italy, from

previous eNTERFACE workshops (www.enterface.net) held in Mons, Belgium (2005), Dubrovnik, Croatia (2006), Istanbul,
Turkey (2007), and Paris, France (2008), eNTERFACE'09 aims at continuing and

work by gathering, in a single place, leading researchers in multimodal
interfaces and students to work on specific projects for 4 complete weeks.
eNTERFACE'09 will encompass presentation sessions, including tutorial state-of-the-art
surveys on several aspects of design of multimodal interfaces, given by invited
senior researchers, and periodical presentations of the results achieved by
each project group. The ultimate goal is to make this event a unique
opportunity for students and experts all over the world to meet and effectively
work together, so as to foster the development of tomorrow's multimodal
research community. Project submissions on all themes below are welcome. We
particularly encourage interdisciplinary proposals covering several themes and
proposals integrating the OpenInterface and/or the EyesWeb XMI platforms. THEMES We invite submissions on themes related
