Conferences

2nd IEEE TABLETOP Workshop
The use of the tabletop as an input/output device is an exciting and emerging research area. This cross-disciplinary domain brings together experts in projector based display systems, augmented reality, user interface technologies, multi-modal interaction, input and sensing technologies, CSCW, and information visualization. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the field so that they can present and exchange current results of ongoing investigations.

IEEE Workshop on Human Computer Interaction 2007
Human computer interaction (HCI) is one of the foremost challenges of our society. New paradigms for interacting with computers are being developed which will define the 21st century and enable the world to communicate and interact effortlessly and intuitively.

2007 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing
Established in 1984, the mission of the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing ("VL/HCC") is to support the design, formalization, implementation, and evaluation of computing languages that are easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to understand by a broader group of people.

Knowledge Structures for Communications in Human-Computer Systems: General Automata-Based
Drawing on author Eldo C. Koenig's extensive expertise and culling from his thirty-four previously published works, this seminal resource presents knowledge structures for communication in Human-Computer Systems (HCS) based on General automata. The resulting model provides knowledge representations for software engineering.

2007 IEEE Workshop on Motion and Video Computing (WMVC 2007)
The study of motion, and in particular human motion, is a fascinating subject and it is beginning to pay dividends in the form of products and applications. WMVC 2007 captures the ongoing research and indicates the future direction of the research. The area of motion research has been rapidly expanding and changing. In early days researchers mainly dealt with the problems of computing optical flow (2D motion) and structure from motion (3D motion and shape) using two or more frames. Recently, in addition to these traditional problems, the motion information present in a video sequence is also being used to solve several other problems: video synthesis, video segmentation, video compression, video registration, and video surveillance and monitoring. Visual motion research is playing an important and somewhat different role in solving these problems compared to the image sequence analysis considered in the early days of vision research.

 

Journals


IEEE Transactions on Haptics will address the science, technology and applications associated with information acquisition and object manipulation through touch. Haptic interactions relevant to this journal include all aspects of manual exploration and manipulation by humans, machines and interactions between the two, performed in real, virtual, teleoperated or networked environments.
