http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/
Final project proposal submission deadline (10 February)
http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/authors-kit/eNTERFACE17_Authors_Kit.pdf
**************************************************************************
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)<http://artes.ucp.pt/ccd>, Universidade
Catolica Portuguesa, has the pleasure to host
eNTERFACE’17<http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17>, the 13th Summer Workshop on
Multimodal Interfaces, to be held in Porto, Portugal from July 3rd to 28th, 2017.
The eNTERFACE'17
committee<http://artes.ucp.pt/enterface17/Committees_eNTERFACE17.html> 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.
