AVI 2008

Objectives and Topics Objectives The 9th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2008) will be held in Naples, Italy, May 28-30, 2008. Started in 1992 in Rome, and held every two years in different Italian towns, the Conference traditionally brings together experts in different areas of computer science who have a common interest in the conception, design and implementation of visual and, more generally, perceptual interfaces, with a growing interest for mobile devices such as smartphones, palmtops and PDAs, in the framework of both traditional and emerging environments, such as ubiquitous and pervasive computer applications. Both formal methods and concrete applications well fit into the framework of the conference, whose program also includes invited talks, given by leaders in the field. Submissions are solicited under the following broad categories, and with respect, but not limited to, the following specific topics.

Overall Categories: Interaction models and techniques Interactive visualization Interactive systems User interaction studies

Specific topics Visual Interface Design Visual Interaction Information Visualization Graph Layout Visual Databases Visual Querying Visual Data Mining Adaptive Interfaces Animated Interfaces Web Interfaces Interface Metaphors Multimodal Interfaces Natural Interaction Perceptual Interfaces Context Aware Interaction Virtual and Augmented Reality Interface Evaluation Cognitive Models of the User End-User Development Controlled Studies and Usability Testing Computer Supported Cooperative Work Hypermedia & Multimedia Applications Digital media environments Map-based interaction Mobile interaction design Web-based social interaction New media and cultural heritage Authors should indicate the type of contribution they are submitting:

Full papers (8 pages), describing original and unpublished work about the above or closely related topics, categorized in one of the following two: Advanced research, on innovative interaction paradigms and systems Mature solutions, on advances in traditional forms of interaction Poster papers (4 pages), describing promising work in progress. System papers (2 pages), accompanied by a demonstration of the software prototype. This CfP was obtained from WikiCFP
