SBIM 2011 Call for Papers*

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 [...]

*About the workshop*

Over the last years, social media have permeated organizations, having yet
unknown impacts on social relationships and cooperative work in distributed
organizations. The “Enterprise 2.0 phenomenon” has been given considerable
attention by both scholars and practitioners, resulting in a significant
body of research on how social software is used in corporate environments
(e.g. Danis & Singer 2008; DiMicco et al. 2008; Farrell et al. 2010; Farrell
& Kellogg 2008; Koch 2008; Richter and Riemer [...]

We invite participation in a workshop at this year's IEEE Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (http://smc-it.org/), to be held in in Palo Alto, CA (August 2-4).

The workshop is titled "Efficient Control of Multiple Semi-Autonomous Robotic Agents"

Abstract: In the near future, teams or “swarms” of robots may regularly perform complex, coordinated tasks (e.g., survey or reconnaissance, sensor placement, construction, search and rescue) on Earth and in space. These operations require the development of information systems and user interfaces (UIs) that allow humans to efficiently monitor, understand, and control the activity of many robots simultaneously. This workshop [...]
