CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS and Registration Form This document is also accessible on the Web via the following URL: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~john/IMMI_call/ IMMI-1 First International Workshop on Intelligence and Multimodality in Multimedia Interfaces: Research and Applications Human Communication Research Centre and EdCAAD, Dept. of Architecture University of Edinburgh Edinburgh, Scotland Thursday 13th - Friday 14th July 1995 Arranged on behalf of: UK Dept. of Trade and Industry (DTI) Intelligent Systems Integration Programme: Special Interest Group on Intelligent Interfaces (IISIG) In cooperation with the AAAI and in association with The HCI Group (a specialist group of the BCS) ACL SIGMEDIA BT Multimedia is hailed as the next great step forward in interface technology. But the potential of this technology depends on a greater understanding of how to exploit it more dynamically and interactively. Bringing ``intelligence'' into multimedia interfaces is thus increasingly important. This Workshop seeks to assess progress and examine pointers for future research and development directions; it seeks also to highlight issues arising from experience of real multimedia applications, and hence encourages industrial participation and reports from practice. Contributions are invited concerning all kinds of work in the area. Themes include (but are not restricted to): * Intelligent guidance for the creation, indexing and presentation of material stored in multimedia form (as in CD-I). * The development of techniques to handle presentation and dialogue involving arbitrary information in different media. * A focus on the interpretation (semantics) of different channels of communication, allowing display of the same information in different ways (often termed ``multimodality''). * The relationship between multimodal presentation and aspects of users' tasks (e.g. reasoning, identification, etc.), including cognitive approaches to multimodal communication. * Formal methods for specification and reasoning in multimodal interactive systems. * A special theme on the integration of natural language and speech processing technology with interaction using other modalities such as graphics. A followup Workshop is proposed, to be held in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in late 1996, with the intention of further fostering transatlantic links. Edinburgh, historic capital of Scotland, is one of the most attractive of European cities. This Workshop will be located in the majestic City Chambers, less than five minutes' walk from the famous Castle. University accommodation will be available very close to the venue. Edinburgh in Summer is invariably host to a wide range of events and activities, which in 1995 includes for instance the spectacular Tall Ships Race, due to begin immediately following the Workshop. Abstracts of approximately 5 pages in length should be submitted by 14th February 1995 (preferably in electronic form) to: John Lee Human Communication Research Centre University of Edinburgh 2 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh EH8 9LW Scotland, UK. Email: J.Lee@ed.ac.uk Tel: +44 131 650 4420 Fax: +44 131 650 4587 IMMI-1 URL: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~john/IMMI_call/ Requests for further information, registration forms, bookings for accommodation etc. should be directed to the same address. A notice of intention to submit an abstract would be appreciated as early as possible. Abstracts will be refereed: participation is limited to promote discussion. Accepted abstracts will be published in the quarterly of the IISIG ("IIQ": ISSN 1356-3262) and it is intended that selected authors will be invited to expand their contributions into full-length papers to be published in book form.

This is an excellently converted tenement building in the heart of the 18th-century Old Town of Edinburgh, offering a choice of single or twin rooms. It is located very close to the Castle, and about 3 minutes' walk from the Workshop venue. Bed and breakfast will cost 19.95 pounds (sterling) per night. Car parking is unfortunately not easy. Rooms will be available over the weekend for those who wish to extend their stay. Early registration is highly advisable for the University accommodation, due to the limited number of rooms available (especially single rooms). There is also a range of high-quality hotels in the city centre, within easy access of the venue (details can be supplied). The Workshop Fee, which includes preprints etc., lunches and a social event, but not accommodation, is 100 pounds (sterling). There is a discount of 20% for students and members of the BCS HCI Group. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please complete the following details for Registration at IMMI-1: Name: Address: Post/Zip code: Telephone: FAX: Email: Registration fee = 100 pounds sterling (or with 20% discount = 80 pounds, if student or HCI Group member -- please enclose evidence).
