25th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction 

(9-13 October 2023) 

ICMI 2023 Call for Workshops : https://icmi.acm.org/2023/call-for-workshops/

The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023) will be held in Paris on October 9-13, 2023. ICMI is the premier international conference for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. ICMI has developed a tradition of hosting workshops in conjunction with the main conference to foster discourse on new research, technologies, social science models, and applications. Examples of recent workshops include: 

• Media Analytics for Societal Trends 
• International Workshop on Automated Assessment of Pain (AAP) 
• Multi-sensorial Approaches to Human-Food Interaction 
• Multimodal e-Coaches 
• Modeling Cognitive Processes from Multimodal Data 
• Multimodal Analyses enabling Artificial Agents in Human-Machine Interaction 
• Investigating Social Interactions with Artificial Agents 
• Insights on Group & Team Dynamics 
• Face and Gesture Analysis for Health Informatics 
• Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents 
• Bridging Social Sciences and AI for Understanding Child Behavior 

We are seeking workshop proposals on emerging research areas related to the main conference topics, and those that focus on multi-disciplinary research. We would also strongly encourage workshops that will include a diverse set of keynote speakers (factors to consider include: gender, ethnic background, institutions, years of experience, geography, etc.). 

The content of accepted workshops is under the control of the workshop organizers.  

Workshops may be half-day or one-day in duration. Workshop organizers will be expected to manage the workshop content, solicit submissions, be present to moderate the discussion and panels, invite experts in the domain, conduct the reviewing process, and maintain a website for the workshop. Workshop papers will be indexed by ACM Digital Library in an adjunct proceeding, and a short workshop summary by the organizers will be published in the main conference proceedings. 

Submission 

Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit proposals in PDF format (Max. 3 pages). Please email proposals to the workshop chairs: Giovanna Varni and Theodora Chaspari (icmi2023-workshop-chairs@acm.org). The proposal should include the following:
