CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *************************************************************************** Casa Paganini – InfoMus Lab in collaboration with the Openinterface
Foundation, the EU IST CALLAS and the EU ICT SAME Projects present eNTERFACE’09 the 5th Intl. Summer Workshop on
Multimodal Interfaces Genova, Italy, July 13th – August
7th, 2009 Call for Participation The eNTERFACE 2009 Workshop is being
organized this summer in Genova, Italy, from July 13th to August 7th,
2009. The Workshop will be held at Casa Paganini – InfoMus Lab
(www.casapaganini.org), DIST-University of Genova. The eNTERFACE Workshops present an
opportunity of collaborative research and software development by
gathering, in a single place, a team of senior project leaders in
multimodal interfaces, PhD students, and (undergraduate) students, to work on
a pre-specified list of challenges, for the duration of four
weeks. Participants are organized in teams, assigned to specific projects.
eNTERFACE’09 will also 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. Outcome of synergy and success stories
of past eNTERFACE Workshops held in Mons, Belgium (2005), Dubrovnik,
