conference with keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical paper
presentations and discussion (single track), poster sessions, and
demonstrations of state-of-the-art multimodal concepts and systems as well
as workshops. Organized on the island of Crete, ICMI-08 provides excellent

multimodal interaction and systems in an inspired setting full of history,
mythology and art.
