Call
Aholab Signal Processing research group, from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), invites project proposals for eNTERFACE’14, the 10th Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces, to be held in Bilbao, Spain, from June 9th to July 9th, 2014.
Following the tremendous success of the previous eNTERFACE workshops held in Mons (2005), Dubrovnik (2006), Istanbul (2007), Paris (2008), Genova (2009), Amsterdam (2010), Plzen (2011), Metz (2012), and Lisbon (2013), eNTERFACE’14 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’14 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. The results of the projects are expected to be published in the Workshop proceedings.
