ENACTIVE08: 1st Call for Participation
Conference: Pisa, Italy 19-21 November 2008

Dear all, we would like to invite you to participate in the 5th Enactive
International Conference (ENACTIVE 2008).
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.
The program committee now kindly invites researchers, innovators and theorists
to submit papers and posters in all the topics related to Enactive Interfaces,
Interaction and Systems, including but not limited to the following areas:
Technology
Human Computer Interaction
Multimodal and Enactive interfaces
Real Time reactive and interactive architectures
Technology for multisensory-motor interactions
Technology for haptic interfaces
Technology for human-computer interfaces
Human action and perception
Control laws and sensorimotor contingencies
Kinaesthetic model of the user
Motor control of perception
Perceptual control of movements
Psychophysics of multisensory-motor interaction
Sensory substitution and enaction
Applications
Creativity, Art and Enaction
E-teaching and e-learning
Industrial design, simulation and virtual prototyping
Special users and uses
Sport and Entertainment
Surgical simulation and Telemedicine
Fundamental issues
Epistemology, Ontology and Philosophical issues
Theories of Enaction
Ecological and embodied cognition
The technical program of the conference will be single-track with oral presentation
of papers (6 pages) selected through a peer-review process.
Besides the publication of papers and posters in the Proceedings of the conference
with an ISBN number, a selection of papers will be published in a special issue
of a peer-review journal in the field of multimodal human computer interfaces.
The main conference takes place the 20-21 November while tutorials and
hands-on demos are also foreseen on the 19th November.
