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 [...]

Apologies for multiple postings.

Please forward to interested parties.

Summary:

With growing possibilities of using various modalities in human-computer
interaction comes new opportunities for supporting richer, more
effective and engaging collaborations. The use of multiple modalities to
support collaboration also presents new challenges for the design,
implementation and evaluation of collaborative systems. This workshop
aims to bring together interested experts to examine and explore the
issues associated with these areas of research. We invite two forms of

Ubi-MUI2011: International ACM Workshop on Ubiquitous Meta User Interfaces
http://www.dai-labor.de/Ubi-MUI2011/
In conjunction with
ACM Multimedia 2011, Scottsdale, Arizona, US, Nov 28 - Dec 1
http://www.acmmm11.org

Intelligent Environments have the vision of enhancing our everyday environment and interaction with its objects by sensing, computing, and communication capabilities. Major characteristics of such environments are the increasing number of intelligent devices (ubiquity), their complexity, and their integration into the background (transparency). Devices will disappear or blend into the background and will be invisible to the user. However, because of this transparency, users fail to develop an adequate mental model for [...]
