==========================================================
Dear All,
We would like to announce the following Call for Papers for the International
Workshop on Movement and Computing (MOCO14) located at Ircam, Paris, France on
Jun 16-17 2014.
Deadline Extended: 21th February 2014.

==========================================================
International Workshop on Movement and Computing (MOCO14)
Intersecting Art, Meaning, Cognition, Technology
June 16-17 2014, Paris France
Ircam - Centre Pompidou
http://moco.ircam.fr
====================================================================
MOCO is the first International Workshop on movement and computing. MOCO aims to
gather academics and practitioners interested in the computational study, modeling,
representation, segmentation, recognition, classification, or generation of
movement information. We welcome research that models movement, technology and
computation, and is positioned within emerging interdisciplinary domains between
art & science. We invite participants interested in exploring how movement
experience can contribute to computational knowledge through movement modeling and
representation. The workshop references the challenge of representing embodied
movement knowledge within computational models, yet it also celebrates the inherent
expression available within movement as a language. While human movement itself
focuses on bodily experience, developing computational models for movement requires
abstraction and representation of lived embodied cognition. Selecting appropriate
models between movement and its rich personal and cultural meanings remains a
challenge in movement interaction research. Many fields, including Interaction
Design, HCI, Education and Machine Learning have been inspired by recent
developments within Neuroscience validating the primacy of movement in cognitive
development and human intelligence. This has spawned a growing interest in
experiential principles of movement awareness and mindfulness, while simultaneously
fueling the need for developing computational models that can describe movement
intelligence with greater rigor. This conference seeks to explore an equal and
richly nuanced epistemological partnership between movement experience and movement
cognition and computational representation.
MOCO will bring together people working in interdisciplinary intersections of
Human Computer Interaction, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Artificial
Intelligence, Robotics, Affective Computing, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience,
Psychology, and Artists from Media Art, Choreography, Composition, Dance and
Design. The workshop aims at promoting scientific and artistic collaborations
within this inter-disciplinary boundary. It will offer opportunities to
disseminate emerging research works through presentations, demonstrations, and
group discussions.

= Participation to the workshop
=======================================
The workshop is an opportunity to present a research or a collaborative work.
Participants will have the possibility to make a presentation of the results of
their research on one of the themes of the workshop, and to interact with their
scientific, artistic peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.
If you are interested in an oral presentation of your work with an optional
demonstration, please submit a paper.
= Important dates
DEADLINE EXTENSION: February 21, 2014.
Submission deadline: February 15, 2014.
Review notification: March 16, 2014.
= Submission instructions
Technical papers will be evaluated regarding their contribution to the workshop
themes. Technical papers should be no longer than 6 pages, and must be
anonymized for review.
Optionally, authors can apply for a demonstration that will take place during
the workshop. To propose a demonstration, please attach an additional page (as
supplementary material) describing the demo and detailing the technical
requirements. We encourage authors applying for demonstrations to submit a
video describing the proposed system or performance. Authors can either provide
a link to the video in the demo proposal, or attach to their submission a zip
archive containing the demo proposal and video.
All papers must be formatted according to ACM proceedings template (Alternate
style). Latex and word templates for this format can be downloaded
here:http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates
All submissions must be done through EasyChair:
