GESTURE WORKSHOP 2003
The 5th International Workshop on Gesture and Sign Language based Human-Computer
Interaction
15th - 17th April 2003
InfoMus Lab, DIST - University of Genova (http://infomus.dist.unige.it)
and
Teatro dell'Opera Carlo Felice
Genova, Italy
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The International Gesture Workshop is a forum where researchers working
on gesture-based interfaces and gestural interaction present and
exchange ideas and research currently in progress, with a
cross-disciplinary focus. This workshop encompasses all aspects of
gestural interaction. In addition to welcoming submission of work by
established researchers, it is the tradition of the GW series of
workshops to encourage submission of student work at various stages of
completion. Submissions include papers, posters, demonstrations. GW2003
is the 5th workshop since the 1996 gesture workshop in York (UK)
considered as the starting event. Since then, International Gesture
Workshops have been held roughly every second year, with fully reviewed
post-proceedings typically published by Springer-Verlag. Further
information can be found on the GW2003 web page
(http://infomus.dist.unige.it/GW2003) and on the Gesture Workshops web
page (www.TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE/ags/wbski/GW/).
GW2003, organized by the Laboratorio di Informatica Musicale (InfoMus)
at DIST - University of Genova, will be held at Auditorium E.Montale at
the Opera House of Genova Teatro Carlo Felice. The workshop will
consist of three full days of sessions presenting research papers,
posters, and demonstrations. Sessions and/or presentations from EU-IST
Projects are also encouraged. Special events (e.g., concert, multimedia
event / demo / performance) are also planned.
SCOPE AND TOPICS
Under the focus of human-computer communication, the workshop will
encompass all aspects of gestural interaction, including but not
restricted to the following:
Nature of Gesture, Foundational issues: what are gestures?
· Gestural communication
· Gesture perception and production
· Expressive Gesture
· Cross-fertilisation of humanistic, artistic, and scientific theories on
gesture
· Analysis, Segmentation, and Synthesis of Gesture
Multimodality
· Fusion of gestures and modalities: architectures, representations
· Temporal relations between gestures in different modalities
· Musical gesture and gesture in musical performance
· Co-verbal gestures
Applications
· User issues, usability studies, application paradigms
· Multisensory Interfaces
· Interactive Multimedia Systems
· New media
· Therapy and Rehabilitation
· Systems for Sign Language processing
· Music and performing arts
· Education

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Submissions can be in the form of papers, posters or demonstrations. The
language should be English, the language of the workshop. As the
conference is multidisciplinary, where possible, language should be used
that will be understood across disciplines, i.e., reduce the use of
jargon to a minimum. Submissions should be sent electronically in PDF,
MS word (DOC), or RTF format to the following e-mail address:

Papers
Research papers present new and original contributions to the field. In
the tradition of the GW series of workshops, submission of student work
at various stages of completion is also encouraged. Length: up to 12
pages.
Posters
Posters will provide the opportunity to interact and discuss with workshop
participants. Posters will be displayed along the three days of the workshop.
Length: up to 2 pages.
Demonstrations
Demonstrations of working prototypes of new hardware\software systems
for gestural human-computer interaction will be planned during the
workshop. Demonstrations should be submitted as a 2-page description,
including any required technical support (e.g., power, lighting, space).
DEADLINES
Submission of papers: January 20th 2003
Submission of posters and demonstrations: January 20th 2003
Notification of acceptance/rejection: February 17th 2003
PUBLICATION
In line with the practice of previous gesture workshops, accepted
participants will be invited to submit their papers for publication in a
subsequent high-quality peer-reviewed publication. In previous years,
these post-proceedings have been published by Springer.
