Call for Papers - IEEE HCI2007 4th IEEE Workshop on Human Computer Interaction 2007 http://www.liacs.nl/~hci2007/ October 20th, 2007, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (in conjunction with ICCV2007) DEADLINES July 9, 2007: Submission of full paper August 6, 2007: Notification of acceptance August 15, 2007: Camera-ready full paper October 20, 2007: Workshop GOALS Human computer interaction (HCI) is one of the foremost challenges of our society. New paradigms for interacting with computers are being developed which will define the 21st century and enable the world to communicate and interact effortlessly and intuitively. In order for HCI systems to interact seamlessly with people, they will need to understand their environment through vision and auditory input. Moreover, HCI systems should learn how to adaptively and intelligently respond depending on the context. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers whose work is related to human computer interaction. We are soliciting original contributions which address a wide range of theoretical and application issues in human computer interaction including, but not limited to: * New paradigms in HCI * Affective detection and recognition * Smart interfaces * Human motion tracking * Gesture recognition * Multimedia data modeling and visualization * Multimodal event detection and recognition * Human motion and gesture recognition * HCI issues in image/video retrieval * Learning in HCI * Input and interaction techniques * Perceptual user interfaces * Wearable and pervasive technologies in HCI * Intelligent Virtual Environments Authors should preferably use the paper submission web system to submit full papers at http://press.liacs.nl/hci2007/submit.html (no longer than 10 pages in the Springer LNCS style in English). All papers will be peer-reviewed. The previous 3 conference proceedings were published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), and we expect that these proceedings will also be in LNCS. For general questions including special requests or problems with paper submissions, please send email to hci2007@liacs.nl ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Michael S.
