As a newly-emerged, fast-growing area in information technology and
computer science, Active Media Technology (AMT) strongly
emphasizes the increasingly important proactive roles of
computational systems and media in different aspects of digital life.
This conference will particularly focus on (i) the current state of
research
and development in theory, art, and science of AMT, and (ii) the
demonstration of the latest architectures, prototypes, tools, and
fielded
systems that demonstrate or enable AMT. The topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

* Human-Machine Interaction
* Self-Adapting Computers
* Face and Gesture Recognition
* Machine Learning
* Visualization
* Evolutionary Art
* Models of Emotion, Motivation, or Personality
* Wearable Computers, Hand-Held or Wireless Devices
* Avatars
* Multi-Agent Systems
* Multi-Modal Interfaces
* Smart Environments
* Collaborative Information Gathering
* Virtual Marketplace or Community, Internet Ecology
* Augmented Reality
* Knowledge Network
* Personalization
* Distributed Softbots and Netbots
* Synthetic and Believable Agents
* Pervasive Technology, Push Technology
