The workshop aims to bring work on multimodal output generation from different disciplines together to establish common ground and discuss possible future collaborations. Call for Papers News: A Best Student Paper Award will by sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society! Workshop Purpose An important aspect of the new generation of intelligent systems is the possibility to employ more than one output modality when interacting with the user. A quick and successful interaction is expected when, for instance, the system's output is presented to the user via multimedia/hypermedia in which text and graphics are merged, or by a conversational agent that combines the use of speech and gesture. In such multimodal systems sophisticated specifications are needed to combine the different output modalities in such a way that each bit of information is presented in the most appropriate manner. We invite contributions from research fields such as multimodal language generation and embodied conversational agents as well as contributions in the area of human communication, such as cognitive models of multimodal communication and interaction. In this way we hope to combine an AI/engineering perspective with input from other disciplines such as linguistics and psychology, providing a forum where international researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds can exchange ideas on multimodal output generation and engage in scientific research collaboration. Workshop Format The workshop will take place in two consecutive days (5 and 6 July 2010). Note that this is provisional depending on the number of submissions. There will be short and long paper presentations, as well as the possibility to demo systems. The workshop will include plenty of time for discussion. Workshop Topics We aim to have a varied program that reflects the different research fields involved in multimodal output generation. Possible topics are listed below, but this list is not intended to be exhaustive. - Task-based modality choice (domain and data dependencies) - User-based modality choice (constraints, preferences and expertise) - Cross-references between modalities (e.g., text and graphics) - Dependencies between modalities (e.g., speech, mimics and gestures) - Relation between input and output modalities - Integration of modalities (models, levels, dependencies) - Cognitive models for processing multimodal information - Computational models for multimodal output generation - Models of modality integration based on multimodal discourse analysis - Usability and evaluation of existing models - Knowledge representation for multimodal output generation - Evaluation of (methods for generating) multimodal output - Development of multimodal corpora from a generation perspective - Affective Computing, evoking and expressing emotion - Input formats and representations for multimodal output generation, e.g. FML Submission Details We invite both long papers describing mature research (max. 12 pages) and short papers (max. 6 pages) describing plans, ideas and demos, which could invoke discussion and questions to be addressed in the future. Accepted papers will be published in the MOG proceedings, with an ISSN number. Papers can be submitted via the EasyChair conference system. The submission process requires registration to create an EasyChair account prior to submission. Paper formatting instructions and templates are available at the MOG 2010 website: http://www.mog-workshop.org/submission.html Important Dates - Submission of papers: March 14, 2010 - Notification of acceptance: May 2, 2010 - Final paper deadline: May 23, 2010 - Workshop dates: July 5-6, 2010 (Note that the workshop dates are provisional, subject to the number of final accepted papers.)
