AMT-BI'09 Call for Posters/Participation

Active Media Technology 2009 & Brain Informatics 2009 CALL FOR POSTERS and CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 2009 International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT 2009) 2009 International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2009) October 22-24, 2009, Beijing, China Homepage: http://www.wici-lab.org/amtbi09/ Mirror page: http://www.iwici.org/amtbi09/ Co-organized by Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) and IEEE Task Force on Brain Informatics (IEEE TF-BI) On-line registration (and more information) at http://www.wici-lab.org/amtbi09/ Posters Due: 30 September 2009 Special discount (or free) registration is available for students and poster session presenters You are invited to join Active Media Technology 2009 and Brain Informatics 2009. Active Media Technology is a new area of intelligent information technology and computer science that emphasizes the proactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new media in all aspects of digital life. An AMT based system offers services to enable the rapid design, implementation and support of customized solutions. Brain Informatics has recently emerged as an interdisciplinary research field that focuses on studying the mechanisms underlying the human information processing system (HIPS). BI lies in the interplay between the studies of human brain and the research of informatics. The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend keynotes, sessions, workshop, posters across the two conferences. Call for Posters AMT-BI'09 also welcomes Posters submissions. AMT-BI'09 Posters session will provide researchers and practitioners in active media technology and brain informatics an exciting and highly interactive way to explore new ideas and results. All areas of the AMT/BI conference are of interest to the Posters and Demos. The proposal of a poster must include the following information: - Authors (name, affiliation, email, address, phone and fax) - The corresponding author with her/his email address - Title - Keywords - The category of the submission (AMT or BI) The proposals of posters must be submitted online at the conference websites. The deadline for proposals submission is 30 September 2009 .
