IEEE International Workshop on modeling People and Human Interaction
 (PHI'05)
 
 Saturday, October 15, 2005, Beijing (in conjunction with ICCV).

 OVERVIEW
 
 This is the second workshop of a series on "Modeling People". This new 
 edition is  extended in scope to include models of Human ("Social") 
 Interactions. Given the increasing capacity to acquire perceptual data 
 with cameras and other sensors, and the number of applications, there is 
 growing interest in several areas related to people modeling, ranging 
 from the recognition of human dynamic behaviour, studied in both the 
 computer vision and graphics communities, to the detection of human 
 communication patterns in social settings, relevant to vision and other 
 fields.
 
 The aim of this workshop is to provide a focus for computer vision 
 research into the modelling and understanding of people, their actions, 
 and their interactions with other people. The intention is to bring 
 together leading researchers in vision, graphics, and cognitive sciences 
 to assess the current state-of-the-art, identify known problems and 
 generate ideas for future progress towards automatic modelling and 
 interpretation of people's movements, actions, and interactions. Given 
 the scope of ICCV, we expect the participation of computer vision 
 researchers investigating these areas . However, given the multimodal 
 nature of human interaction, we also encourage the participation of 
 researchers in related fields (audio and speech, linguistics, behavioral 
 science, and wearable computing) who can contribute their views.
 
 IMPORTANT DATES
 
 Submission of papers: 15 May 2005

     * Recognition of non-verbal cues in conversations: expressions, body
       postures, and gestures.
     * Detection and tracking of focus-of-attention in conversations.
     * Analysis of speaker turn patterns.
     * Models that link language and non-verbal cues.
     * Recognition of social interaction patterns.
     * Analysis of the dynamic properties of social rapport.
     * Mining social networks from multi-sensor data
 
 SUBMISSIONS
 
 Paper submission and review will strictly follow the ICCV 2005
 procedures. We welcome previously unpublished works in ICCV'05 format
 and up to eight-pages long. Review will be double-blind. Papers will be
 evaluated in terms of originality, relevance to the workshop, technical
 correctness, and clarity of presentation. 
 
 Double submissions to the workshop and main conference will be accepted.
 This must be stated explicitly. Authors of double submissions must give
 permission to the workshop organizers to obtain the reviews from the
 main conference. 
 
 All submissions should be sent by email to:
 Remi Ronfard, mailto:Remi.Ronfard@inrialpes.fr
 AND
 Daniel Gatica-Perez, mailto:gatica@idiap.ch
