CfP eNTERFACE'17 Workshop: International Summer Workshop on Multimodal
Interfaces

http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/

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



eNTERFACE workshops aim at establishing a tradition of collaborative,
localized research and development work by gathering, in a single
place, a team of senior project leaders in multimodal interfaces,
researchers, and (undergraduate) students, to work on a pre-specified
list of challenges, for 4 weeks.

Following the success of the previous eNTERFACE workshops held in Mons
(Belgium, 2005), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2006), Istanbul (Turkey, 2007),
Paris (France, 2008), Genova (Italy, 2009), Amsterdam (Netherlands,
2010), Plzen (Czech Republic, 2011), Metz (France, 2012), Lisbon
(Portugal, 2013), Bilbao (Spain, 2014), Mons (Belgium, 2015), Twente
(Netherlands 2016), the Digital Creativity Centre (CCD), Universidade
Catolica Portuguesa, has the pleasure to host eNTERFACE?17, the 13th
Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces, to be held in Porto,
Portugal from July 3rd to 28th, 2017.

The eNTERFACE'17 committee now invites researchers to submit project
proposals that will be evaluated by the scientific committee. All the
information asked to submit a project is available on the website of
the workshop. The proposals should contain a full description of the
project's objectives, required hardwares/softwares and relevant
literatures.

Participants are organized in teams, attached to specific projects,
working on free software. Each week will typically consist of working
sessions by the teams on their respective projects plus a tutorial
given by an invited senior researcher and a presentation of the
results achieved by each project group. The last week will be devoted
to writing an article on the results obtained by the teams plus a big
session where all the groups will present their achievements.

Proceedings are expected to be published by CITAR Journal. CITAR
Journal was recently (July 2016) accepted for inclusion in a new index
of the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection: the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI), and has also been accepted for indexing by
Elsevier's Scopus.
