Call For Paper

Deadline for paper submissions: July 4, 2008, 23:59:59 PST

ENACTIVE08 is a major international conference and an important meeting occasion for researchers in the field of Enactive Interfaces. Enactive Interfaces and Systems are a new generation of human-computer interfaces that are based on the concept of Enactive knowledge, that is the knowledge acquired by doing. These new interfaces allow to make old applications more intelligent and responsive and to create new kinds of applications. The introduction of this concept in HCI has created a multidisciplinary research community capable of integrating theoretical model with interaction paradigms and advanced technologies like visualization systems, haptics and spatialized audio.

Publishing

Besides the publication of papers and posters in the Proceedings of the conference with an ISBN number, a selection of revised papers will be published in a special issue of Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcast (JVRB) and the MIT Press Presence Journal.

• Technology
  • Human Computer Interaction
  • Multimodal and Enactive interfaces
  • Real Time reactive and interactive architectures

Special Sessions

ENACTIVE08 will include a number of special sessions. Proposal for special sessions must include a title, rationale, session outline, contact information for the session chairs, a list of authors who have agreed to present paper in the session, and abstract of each paper.
