Submission deadline: July 25, 2011

*********************************************************

Description
'Ambient games' are innovative game designs incorporating ambient intelligence characteristics, such as context-awareness, personalization, adaptation and anticipation. They may lead to new player experiences, for instance by allowing players to (inter)act freely, without being allocated by a computer screen or device, by using information coming from sensors or actuators. Ambient games support casual play, allowing play and games to be seamlessly [...]

1st workshop on

Augmenting Social Interaction through Affective Computing

Workshop at ACII 2011

Apologies for multiple postings

http://www.augmenting-social-interaction.org

http://www.acii2011.org

Augmenting Social Interaction through Affective Computing is the first workshop on affective computing that specifically aims to improve or enhance social interaction among humans. Social interactions, whether mediated or face-to-face, can benefit significantly from advances in affective computing and social signal processing. Example application areas include mental healthcare, training and coaching, negotiation, and close intimate interactions. To address this topic, we invite submissions on the relation between social interaction between humans and affective computing technologies. [...]

Researching Learning in Immersive Virtual Environments 2011 (ReLIVE11)

Creative Solutions for New Futures, 21st – 22nd September 2011, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK

Reduced Fee! New Deadline!

In response to feedback from the enthusiastic but underfunded community, we have worked to reduce the conference fee, enabling more opportunities for attendance in a period when budgets for conferences are constrained. We are no longer providing a formal conference dinner and entertainment; instead we anticipate that there will be more focus time and space for academic collaboration and networking. This has enabled us to reduce the fee to £285 for early [...]

Description and Objectives
---------------------------

In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination [...]

Advances in pen-based computer hardware have enabled digital sketch-based
interfaces to emerge as a powerful way to combine the quick and intuitive
feel of paper with the power of computation. However, fully realizing the
potential of these sketch-based systems requires effective input devices,
user interface design and underlying algorithms to analyze the input. The
goal of this symposium is to explore models, algorithms and technologies
needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It investigates novel
methods for classification and recognition of [...]
