Kind regards, Gualtiero Volpe =20 =3D=3D=3D =20 Call for Submissions to MOCO 2018 28-30 June 2018, Genoa, Italy Casa Paganini =96 InfoMus, DIBRIS =96 University of Genoa=20 http://moco18.movementcomputing.org =20 We would like to invite submissions to the 5th International Conference = on Movement and Computing (MOCO=9218), Genoa, Italy, June 28-30, 2018. Contributions can be submitted to three different tracks: Papers and Posters, Practice Works, and Doctoral Consortium. MOCO is an interdisciplinary conference that explores how computer = science and technology can contribute to a deeper understanding of human = movement practice, to support and facilitate movement expression and = communication, and to design and develop new paradigms for interacting with computers through movement (e.g., movement interfaces). This requires to tackle computational challenges, including modeling, representation, = segmentation, recognition, classification, and generation of movement information. To = this aim, an interdisciplinary approach to movement understanding, ranging = from biomechanics to embodied cognition, to the phenomenology of bodily experience as well as contributions from the performing arts is needed. = We invite submissions from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to: Human-Machine Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, = Affective Computing, Social Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Cognitive = Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sports Sciences, = Dance, Music, Visual Arts, Games, Healthcare, and Animation. =20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Suggested Topics =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =20 We encourage submissions including, but not limited to the following = topics: - Theoretical approaches to movement understanding - Philosophical perspectives on movement and computing - Embodied cognition and movement - Experimental methodologies - Datasets of motion recordings - Movement analysis and analytics - Movement segmentation - Movement representation - Machine learning for movement - Movement qualities and expressive movement - Movement in social interaction - Modeling and analyzing kinesthetic empathy - Movement generation - Expressive movement synthesis - Movement expression in avatar, artificial agents, virtual humans or = robots - Full-body interaction - Gesture interaction - Expressive movement-based interaction - Interactive sonification - Movement visualization - Dance and technology - Music and movement - Design for movement in digital art - Biosensing, biocontrol and movement - Sensori-motor learning with audio/visual feedback - Mechatronics and creative robotics - Movement computation for entertainment - Movement computation in education - Movement computation in ergonomics, sports, and health - Movement Notation Systems (e.g. Laban or Eshkol-Wachman) =20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Tracks =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =20 MOCO is open to a wide range of ways of presenting your work. Besides = papers for oral and poster presentation, we invite submission of practice works such as demos, performances, games, artistic works and movement = workshops (in which participants take part in a guided movement activity). =20 *** Papers and Posters *** The conference is an opportunity to present original research and = details of collaborative work. Participants will have the opportunity to offer a presentation of the results of their research on one of the themes of = the conference and to interact with their scientific/artistic peers, in a friendly and constructive environment. We encourage submission of a wide range of formats. The submission categories are: - Long paper with oral presentation (8 pages maximum) - Short paper with oral presentation (4 pages maximum) - Extended abstract with poster presentation (6 pages maximum in the extended abstract format) =20 Authors of papers and posters may submit an accompanying demonstration proposal in addition to their regular paper or poster submission, by completing the proposal form for practice works (see items 2 and 3 in = the next section) and sending it along with their submission.

In addition, = we cannot guarantee facilities and technical support for all possible = sessions, so please give us full details of your needs in the proposal form so = that we can judge whether it is feasible. =20 *** Doctoral Consortium *** Doctoral papers are an opportunity for PhD students to present their = work in progress on their doctorate, share and develop their research ideas in a supportive environment and with the participation of experts in the = field. Students will have the opportunity to establish a community, together = with other doctoral students at a similar stage of their research. Accepted papers will have an oral presentation in a dedicated session. We = encourage students to submit a paper even if they are early in their doctoral = work. Papers should not be longer than 4 pages including the references. The = first author must be an actual PhD student. Doctoral Consortium papers will be indexed and published in the ACM digital library. Videos and other supplementary materials are highly welcomed.
