FG 2008 (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

The 8th International IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition, FG 2008, is the premier international forum for state of the art image and video-based biometric gesture and body movement recognition. This year, we are especially soliciting papers discussing Enabling Behavioral and Contextual Human- Machine Interfaces in areas including behavioral and affective computing, multimodal and context-sensitive interfaces, vision-based human robot interaction, and ambient intelligence.

2008 IPCC (Montreal, Canada)

The 2008 IEEE Professional Communication Society conference will focus on the theme of “Opening the Information Economy.” The idea is that we are all a part of the information economy, and by participating in it, we both shape and are shaped by the information economy and its practices.

As communication is at the heart of success within this economy, the conference will explore certain communication-based aspects of the information economy. One aspect related to user experience will be information design, usability, and accessibility.

SOLI 2008 (Beijing, China)

Services, service operations, logistics, and informatics are becoming ever more complex and interdependent. They are playing an increasingly important role in today’s world economy. Information and communications technology provides cyberinfrastructure and platforms to achieve more efficient and productive services operations. New types of service offerings are also emerging to meet the needs of customers and consumers.

The IEEE/INFORMS Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI) conference series aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss issues, identify challenges and future directions, and share their R&D findings and experiences in the areas of service design, innovations, marketing, and operations; logistics issues in services offerings, logistics as a service and related decision-making; informatics-enabled service offerings, and information technology/systems services and related design, engineering, operations, and sustaining. Papers relating to Services/Logistics Design, Innovations, Marketing, Operations, and Engineering; and their specific applications to Information Technology/Systems services are strongly encouraged. Special sessions on specific service topics are also welcome.

SOLI 2008 will be October 12-15, 2008, in Beijing, China.

Topics include:

• Services Design, Engineering, Operations, and Innovations: Service planning, Quality and customer satisfaction
• Services Marketing and Sustaining: Customer relationship management
• Information & Communications Technology and Systems (ICTS): Pervasive and ubiquitous computing in logistics

VL/HCC ‘08 (Herrsching am Ammersee, Germany)

The 2008 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing, VL/HCC ‘08, is the premier international forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss the theory, applications and evaluation of technologies, visual and otherwise, that enhance the role of humans in the computing process. Established in 1984, the mission of the 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.

This includes all research aimed at the above mission, regardless of whether it uses entirely visual technology, text, or instead uses sound, taste, virtual reality, the web, or any other technologies. From the beginning of the computer age, researchers and computing practitioners have sought ways to make interactions with computers more human-oriented. For example, visual languages have long been used to provide effective communication between humans and computers. Visual languages have been successfully employed for end-user programming, modeling, and rapid prototyping; they have supported design activities by people of many disciplines and backgrounds including architects, artists, children, engineers, and scientists. In addition, visual languages and technologies are increasingly being used to facilitate human-human communication through Internet/Web technology and electronic mobile devices.

VL/HCC will be co-located, running in conjunction with Diagrams 2008 and the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization. This co-location will provide a week long forum, called Visual Week, which will encompass a broad range of topics related to visual and diagrammatic representations including, for example, formal, empirical and cognitive perspectives.
