Second International Conference on
COOPERATIVE MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATION,

CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS
*********
The Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence Group at
Tilburg University, in collaboration with the Center for Research on
User-System Interaction IPO in Eindhoven, and the Department of
Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology, will host
the Second International Conference on the theory and applications of
Cooperative Multimodal Communication, CMC/98, to take place January
28-30, 1998.
The principal aim of the conference is to bring together researchers
involved in the design, implementation, and application of forms of
cooperative human-computer communication where natural language
(typed or spoken) is used in combination with other modalities,
such as visual feedback and direct manipulation.
The conference will focus on formal, computational, and user aspects
of building cooperative multimodal dialogue systems. Conference topics
include, but are not limited to:
* cooperativity in multimodal dialogue
* metaphors for human-computer interaction
* communicative acts in multimodal communication
* interacting with visual domain representations
* natural language interpretation in a multimodal context
* effective use of different media and modalities
* formal and computational models of dialogue context
* pragmatic concepts in human-computer dialogue
* the role of time in multimodal communication
* agent-based dialogue architectures
* user modelling
* approaches to dialogue management
The deadline for sumission of extended abstracts of papers has passed,
but propspective participants are invited to submit short abstracts
of posters to be presented at the conference, or descriptions of
multimodal systems to be demonstrated. Abstracts/descriptions should
be maximally 2 pages long and should be submitted before November 10.
Only electronic submission is be possible, in uuencoded compressed Latex
form, to be sent to tijn@win.tue.nl and to kievit@kub.nl (two copies).
A Latex style file to be used is available via the CMC/98 Web page
(see below).
Abstracts/descriptions will be reviewed for their appropriateness for
the conference by members of the program committee; authors will
receive notification of acceptance by December 1.
Accepted abstracts/descriptions will be published in the conference
proceedings. If the conference timetable allows, authors will be given
the possibility of a short, 10-minute plenary presentation of their work.
