SMIAE 2013
---------------------------------------
We invite you to submit a paper to
The 2nd International Workshop on Speech and Multimodal
Interaction in Assistive Environments (SMIAE 2013): http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/smiae,
to be held on June, 13th/14th at the 2013 Conference of the
North American Chapter of the
Association for Computational
Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (http://naacl2013.naacl.org),
on June 9th - 14th, 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The SMIAE 2013 workshop will focus on
all issues, applications, and development of various tools in
the field of Speech and Multimodal Interaction in Assistive
Environments. It will be concerned with all topics which fit
within the purview of speech and multimodal communication in
environments suitable for the elderly and people with physical
or cognitive disabilities. Assistive environments are an
application area of the research field of Ambient Assisted
Living (AAL). This research field promotes intelligent assistant
systems for a better, healthier, and safer life in the preferred
living environments through the use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT). Human-computer and human-robot
interaction are key technological tools in the area of Assistive
Environments, and as such the workshop will particularly aim to
draw together speech and multimodal work in these areas.
Moreover, both theoretical and applied computational work
regarding multimodal interaction in assistive environments will
be welcome at this workshop.
Important dates for the workshop are
the following:
---------------------------------------
01 Mar 2013 Submission due date
29 Mar 2013 Notification of
acceptance
12 Apr 2013 Camera-ready deadline
13/14 Jun 2013 Workshop
Check our website (http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/smiae)
for further updates on the timeline of the workshop.
We encourage the submissions of long
and short papers. Accepted long papers will be presented by the
authors during the talk session of the workshop, while short
papers will be introduced during the poster session. Both kinds
of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the
accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings.
Submissions must conform to the official ACL 2013 style
guidelines. All submitted papers will go through double-blind
reviewing processes (at least three reviewers). Authors of
accepted papers who registered in the conference will have
access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the
reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so
they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers.
Check our website for further information on the submission
process.
