| | The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the
premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on
multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and
system development. We are requesting nominations for two awards which
will be presented during ICMI 2024 (4-8 Nov 2024, Costa Rica).
- Sustained Accomplishment Award: This award will be given to a senior
scientist who has made innovative, long-lasting, and influential
contributions to the field of multimodal interaction, interfaces, and
systems. The nominee will have demonstrated vision in shaping the
field, had a sustained record of high-impact research, pioneered one
or more research directions, and substantially influenced the work of
others.
- Community Service Award: This award will be given to a scientist who
has made invaluable social-organizational contributions that have
collectively had a major impact on improving the ICMI community and
its annual events. Emphasis will be placed on selecting an individual
who has made major contributions over a sustained period of five years
or longer, including ones that have diversified and built the
community, expanded opportunities for student training and
participation, and similarly influential contributions.
Nomination Process: The deadline for Nominations in both categories is
*March 30, 2024*. The main requirement is a nomination statement, with a
maximum length of one page (pdf), describing the main achievements and
impact of the nominee. A pointer to the personal webpage and CV of the
nominees can also be submitted additionally, as well as a list of
further endorsers of the nomination. Nominations may be received from
any
member of the multimodal interaction research community. Nominations
should be emailed to the ICMI Steering Board Chair (Albert Ali Salah,
a.a.salah@uu.nl). Please expect a confirmation of receipt.
Selection Process: The 2024 Awards Committee will review nominations
for each award category, determine whether it is appropriate to give
an award for each of the categories, and make a final decision. The
Committee might also determine to give more than one award in a given
category. Conflict of interest procedures prohibit that any members of
the Awards Committee be considered for an award while serving on the
committee, or that they participate in evaluating any candidate with
whom they have had significant professional collaborations or from
whom they have received financial remuneration.
The Sustained Accomplishment Awardee is invited to ICMI'24 to give a
keynote talk.
