2nd International Conference on Interactive Media, Smart Systems and
Emerging Technologies (IMET 2022) – Technical co-sponsored by IEEE
Computer Society

https://imet.cyens.org.cy/

The conference is dedicated to the exploration of current practices in
the use of emerging and interactive technologies. The interdisciplinary
research topics presented and discussed at IMET render it a rather
unique venue that promotes a dearly needed blend of technology and
applied research. Given the very distinct needs and methodologies of
both these great scientific fields, the conference must ensure that the
presentation and discussion of results is accessible to both audiences
and still has great scientific value. It also must serve different
mindsets in terms of publications which is why, for instance, we offer
post-conference invitations to the best submissions for inclusion in
special journal issues which is greatly relevant especially to
educational researchers. The main theme of IMET 2022 will be on
Interactive Media in relation to: (a) Novel Technologies and (b)
Applications.

We invite submissions on the following subjects, as well the
conference's standard topics:

Submission

Electronic submission will be conducted using the EasyChair conference
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imet2022). Full papers
should be up 8 pages (including references), short papers 4 pages
(including references), poster papers and demo papers up to 2 pages
(including references). All papers must be formatted according to IEEE
templates (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
All accepted papers (full, short, poster, demo and workshop papers) will
be submitted for inclusion at the IEEE Digital Library.

Special Issues

Selected papers (that will be extended), will be submitted to a special
section to Computers & Graphics
(https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics) as well as to
Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (https://www.springer.com/journal/779)

Keynotes

The first keynote of IMET 2022 is Prof. Mel Slater, a computer scientist
known for his work in virtual reality, in particular in the field of
embodiment and presence in VR. He is currently Distinguished
Investigator at the University of Barcelona. He is Director of the Event
Lab (Experimental Virtual Environments in Neuroscience and Technology)
at the University of Barcelona. He is a co-Founder of Virtual Bodyworks
Inc. In 2005 he was awarded the IEEE Virtual Reality Career Award in
Recognition of Pioneering Achievements in Theory and Applications of
Virtual Reality.
