University of Genova, invites project proposals for eNTERFACE'09, the 5th
summer workshop on multimodal interfaces, to be held in Genova, Italy, from
July 13th to August 7th, 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Following the tremendous success of the

lang=EN-US>) held in Mons, Belgium (2005), Dubrovnik, Croatia (2006), Istanbul,
Turkey (2007), and Paris, France (2008), eNTERFACE'09 aims at continuing and
enhancing the tradition of collaborative, localized research and development
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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
