         LAST CALL FOR PAPERS - Apologies for multiple postings
---------------------------------------------------------------------


/The 1st International Workshop on Speech and Multimodal Interaction in 
Assistive Environments (SMIAE 2012)/: 
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/smiae/2012/ will be held at the 50th 
Annual Meeting of the Association of Computational Linguistics 
(http://www.acl2012.org/), on July 8th - 14th, 2012, in Jeju, Republic 
of Korea.

Important Date:
Submission Deadline: 	*March, 25th*
Notification of Acceptance: 	*April, 15th*
Camera-ready deadline: 	*May, 18th*
Workshop date: 	*July, 12th*


SMIAE will focus on issues, applications, and development tools in the 
field of Speech and Multimodal Interaction in Assistive Environments 
(SMIAE). It will be concerned with all topics which fit within the 
purview of speech and multimodal communication in environments suitable 
for the elderly and people with age-related physical or cognitive 
disabilities. Assistive environments are an application area of the 
research field of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). This research field is 
supported through a European technology and innovation funding 
programme, which promotes intelligent assistant systems for a better, 
healthier, and safer life in the preferred living environments through 
the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). 
Human-computer and human-robot interaction are key technological tools 
in the area of Assistive Environments, and as such the workshop will 
particularly aim to draw together speech and multimodal work in these 
areas. Moreover, both theoretical and applied computational work 
regarding multimodal interaction in assistive environments will be 
welcome at this workshop.
The submission deadline is *March 25*, 2011 (Check the website-Important 
Dates for notification to authors and camera ready deadlines).
Submissions for long or short papers are both accepted. Both kinds of 
submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers 
will be included in the same proceedings. Submissions must conform to 
the official ACL 2012 style guidelines here and should be submitted 
through the START system.

Suggested *Major Areas *or Tracks are the following:
- Speech-enabled systems in assisted living environments
- Speech in interaction with gesture and other modalities in assistive 
environments
- Speech and multimodality in assistive robotics
- Control of smart devices through speech and multimodal approaches
- Speech/Text-to Speech software in Web applications designed for the 
elderly
- Speech and multimodal interaction in e-Government and e-Health in 
assistive environments
- Communication in assistive environments (e.g. Peer-to-Peer)
- Talking agents in assistive environments

All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through double-blind reviewing 
processes (at least three reviewers). Authors of accepted papers who 
registered in the conference will have access to the evaluations and 
possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the 
acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final 
version of their papers.

SMIAE 2012 is sponsored by the the ACL Special Interest Group on Speech 
and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (SIG-SLPAT):
