[Corpora-List] 1st CFP-International Conference on Speech and Multimodal Interaction in Assistive Environments (SMIAE 2012)

[dimitra]

We invite you to submit a paper to /The 1st International Conference on 
Speech and Multimodal Interaction in Assistive Environments (SMIAE 
2012)/: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/smiae/2012/ , to be held at 
the 50th Annual Meeting of the Association of Computational Linguistics 
(http://www.acl2012.org/), on July 8th - 14th, 2012, in Jeju, Republic 
of Korea.

This workshop will focus on issues, applications, and development tools 
in the field of Speech and Multimodal Interaction in Assistive 
Environments (SMIAE). 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 age-related 
physical or cognitive disabilities. Assistive environments are an 
application area of the research field of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). 
This research field is supported through a European technology and 
innovation funding programme, which 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.

The submissions deadline is *March 18th*, 2011 (Check the website on 
Important Dates for notification to authors and camera ready deadlines).
Submissions for long or short papers are both accepted. 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 2012 style guidelines here 
<http://www.acl2012.org/call/sub01.asp> and should be submitted through 
the START <https://www.softconf.com/acl2012/smiae-2012/> system.

Suggested *Major Areas or Tracks *are the following:
# Speech-enabled systems in assisted living environments
# Speech in interaction with gesture and other modalities in assistive 
environments
# Speech and multimodality in assistive robotics
# Control of smart devices through speech and multimodal approaches
# Speech/Text-to Speech software in Web applications designed for the elderly
# Speech and multimodal interaction in e-Government and e-Health in 
assistive environments
# Communication in assistive environments (e.g. Peer-to-Peer)
# Talking agents in assistive environments
# Multimodal ICT used in elder care

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.

For any questions, feedback or comments, feel free to contact the 
organization committee at smiae2012 at informatik.uni-bremen.de
