Multimodal interaction constitutes a key technology for intelligent  
user interfaces (IUI). The possibility to control devices and  
applications in a natural way enables an easier access to complex  
functionality as well as infotainment contents. This kind of  
interaction is particularly suited for use in automotive scenarios  
where additional restrictions with respect to input and output  
modalities have to be taken into account. In recent years, the  
complexity of on-board and accessory devices, infotainment services,  
and driver assistance systems in cars has experienced an enormous  
increase. This development emphasizes the need for new concepts for  
advanced human-machine interfaces that support the seamless,  
intuitive and efficient use of this large variety of devices and  
services.

This workshop is intended to gather novel, innovative interaction  
concepts for automotive applications with the aim to foster  
collaborations in the field and to establish a IUI-wide consciousness  
for the specific user interface requirements in the area of car-  
centered applications.

The topics include but are not restricted to:

     * novel interfaces on any sort (e.g. see-trough displays)
     * speech in the car
     * tangible (haptic) interfaces, e.g. novel means of interaction  
with switches, knobs, levers, etc
     * multi-party interaction: there's more people in the car than  
only the driver
     * sensor networks (car2car, car2X) involving user interaction  
(i.e. information-seeking dialogs)
     * access to services
     * referring to the outside world
     * beyond directions

MIAA Career Day:
Bachelor and Master students are especially encouraged to submit  
their theses or student research projects. A special concern of the  
MIAA workshop is to serve as a career day. A limited number of travel  
grants and reduced registration fees will be given to high-class  
students contributing to the workshop. Also, representatives of the  
automotive industry will be invited to the workshop. Opportunities  
for Master and PHD programs will be presented and connections to  
industrial employers will be arranged.

Mode of Presentations:
To emphasize the innovative character of the MIAA workshop, the mode  
of presentation will be different. There will be one session with  
brief oral presentations of the contributions. Afterwards, focus  
groups will be formed to discuss individual topics of interest. The  
topics will be selected and the participants will be assigned to  
focus groups by the organizers beforehand. The pre-selection of  
topics will be announced on this website. However, new topics can be  
proposed during the workshop and everyone is free to join the focus  
group that she or he is interested in. A designated part of workshop  
will be used to discuss career opportunities.
