Gesture Workshop 2001 |
Wednesday 18th Friday 20th April 2001 |
The International Gesture Workshop is a forum for the exchange of ideas and research currently in progress across disciplines. Gesture Workshop 2001 the fourth in the Gesture Workshop series builds upon three previous highly successful workshops. It aims to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration by providing a platform for participants to share, discuss and critique both research in progress and more completed research with a multidisciplinary audience.
Within the focus of human-computer interaction or computer-mediated communication, the workshop will encompass all aspects of interaction involving gesture and sign language. The preliminary programme includes but is not restricted to work in the following categories
WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
Consistent with a steady growth of research activity in this area, a large number of high quality submissions have been received. This promises to make GW2001 an exciting and important event for anyone interested in gesture related and/or technological research relevant to human-computer interaction and human-language technology. The workshop will take place over three days offering a combination of invited lectures, oral presentations, posters and demonstrations as outlined in the programme overview and detailed programme. The programme contains around 40 presentations and posters representing the research work from ten countries. Information for presenters can be found here.
REGISTRATION FEES
All efforts have been made to reduce costs to a minimum. It has been possible to keep the registration fees comparable with previous years. Fees include workshop attendance, programme, copies of the subsequent peer-reviewed publication, refreshments etc. Attendees are encouraged to register early. Payment is strictly in advance.
