*** Important Dates ***
- Poster Submission Deadline: 26 June 2015
- Notification: 17 July 2015
- Camera Ready Submission: 01 September 2015
- Symposium: 23 - 25 September 2015 at Ulm University, Germany
===
*** General Information ***
The International Symposium on Companion-Technologies provides a forum
for researchers and practitioners to take a crossdisciplinary perspective
on all aspects of research, development, and exploitation of
Companion-Technologies. We will initiate a dialogue on fundamental research
questions, development, and applications of Companion-Technologies.
The organisers are looking forward to welcoming you to the first ISCT
symposium in Ulm.
Poster are the main medium for non-invited speakers to contribute to the
ISCT 2015. Posters provide the opportunity for researchers to get feedback
on early-stage work, discuss potential collaborations and discuss current
issues in the field of Companion Technologies. Accepted submissions will be
presented as a physical poster at the symposium and made available via the
Extended Abstracts proceedings published through the Open Access Archive
of the University of Ulm which is certified as a DINI Open Access Repository
and Publishing Service.
===
*** Topics ***
Companion-Technology is an emerging field of cross-disciplinary research,
aiming at a paradigm shift in human-technology interaction enabling
technical systems to smartly adapt their services to individual users, their
current needs, requests, situation, and emotion. Its development requires
cross-disciplinary research in fields such as Cognitive Sciences, Computer
Science, Engineering, Psychology and Neurobiology. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
+ Affective Computing
+ Computational Models of Cognitive Processes
+ Cooperative and Adaptive Systems
+ Decision Making
+ Emotion and Disposition Modelling
+ Health Applications of Knowledge-based Systems
+ Knowledge-based Dialogue Management
+ Knowledge-based Human-Computer Interaction
+ Multimodal Emotion and Motivation Recognition
+ Multimodal Stress and Pain Recognition
+ Neuroscience, Neural Models and Electrophysiology
+ Reasoning for Adaptive Systems
+ Strategy Change and Reversal Learning
+ User-Centered Planning
===
*** Submission Guidelines ***
A poster submission consists of 4 pages and optionally a 1-page poster draft.
The extended abstract of the poster must be formatted according to the Springer
LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-...).
The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but we recommend that
the poster's dimensions are in A0 or similar format (84cm x 119cm / 33 x 47).
The posters must be in portrait orientation. Authors are expected to register
for the symposium and to bring the accepted poster to the symposium site with
them and be present throughout the poster session. The submissions do not need
to be anonymized. You should submit your work by June 26 2015 using the
submission system (EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isct2015).
===
*** Selection Process ***
Submissions will be accepted based on a juried selection process. Submissions
are reviewed by a committee but in a less rigorous process than at a refereed
conference. At least one author must register for the symposium and present
the poster.
Review committee:
+ André Brechmann (Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology)
+ Anke Huckauf (Ulm University)
+ Heiko Neumann (Ulm University)
+ Dietmar Rösner (Magdeburg University)
