IITM 2011 - SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND MULTIMEDIA (IITM 2011)

The theme of the IITM-2011 conference is "Interactive Technologies for Empowering People".

The next generation interactive technologies should aim for empowering people who are economically, educationally or physically challenged. There should also be a driving force to "Bridge the Rural & Urban Divide" which is more prominent in developing countries. Interactive design must address the social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts that are due to current technological developments in various fields.

Suggested Tracks are as follows:

Track 1: Interaction Design, Innovative Methods and Devices of IITM

Track 2: Graphics, Animation, Image and Multimedia Technologies

Track 3: Cognitive Models, Softcomputing, AI and Machine Learning

Track 4: Speech and Language Processing Technologies
