Andratx, Mallorca, Spain 
11-14 July, 2006

=================================================
(AERFAI) and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of UIB are 
organising the fourth international conference AMDO Evolution 2006 that
will take place in Puerto de Andratx, Mallorca. This conference is the
natural evolution of the AMDO2004 workshop. The goal of this conference
is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working 
directly in the areas covered by the main tracks. The new perceptual 
user interfaces and the emerging technologies increase the relation 
between areas involved with human-computer interaction. The perspective
of the AMDO-e 2006 conference will be to strengthen the relationship 
between the many areas that study the human body using computer 
technologies as the main tool. It is a great opportunity to encourage 
links between research in the areas of computer vision, computer 
graphics, advanced multimedia applications and multimodal interfaces 
that share common problems and frequently use similar techniques or 
tools. In this particular edition the related topics are divided in 
several parallel tracks, including the topics above proposed. 
The AMDO-e 2006 will consist in three days of lecture sessions, both 
regular and invited  presentations, a poster session and tutorials.

TOPICS INCLUDE (but not restricted to):
================
Track 1: Computer Graphics (Human Modelling & Animation)
Track 2: Human Motion (Analysis, Tracking, 3D Reconstruction & Recognition)
Track 3: Multimodal User Interaction (VR & AR, Speech, Biometrics)
Track 4: Advanced Multimedia Systems (Standards, Indexed Video Contents)

PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
