Scope: The International Conference on Human Computer Interaction Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in Human Computer Interaction. The conference will be structured along seventeen main tracks, covering different aspects related to Human Computer Interaction, from Theories, Models and User Evaluation, Interaction Techniques and Devices, Haptic and Multimodal Interaction, and Agents and Human Interaction. We welcome papers describing original work in any of the areas listed below. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Paper acceptance will be based on quality, relevance to the conference themes and originality. The conference program will include both oral and poster presentations. Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as technical tutorials, dedicated to technical/scientific topics, are also envisaged. Companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in lecturing a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.

Conference Topics: Area 1: Agents and Human Interaction - Models for Human-Agent Interaction - Agents for Human-Human Interaction - Agent-based Human-Computer-Interaction - Agent-based Human-Robot Interaction - Social Agents and Emotional Interaction - Human Cooperation and Agent-Based Interaction

Area 2: Haptic and Multimodal Interaction - Fundamental of Haptic Interactions - Haptics Simulation and Rendering - Haptic Feedback and Control - Model for Haptic Interactions - Embodied Haptic Interfaces - Multimodal Systems and Application - Input and Output Modalities - Integration Mechanisms and Fusion Strategies
