Auditory-visual speech production and perception by human and machine is aninterdisciplinary and cross-linguistic field which has attracted speechscientists, cognitive psychologists, phoneticians, computational engineers,and researchers in language learning studies. Since the inaugural workshopin Bonas in 1995, Auditory-Visual Speech Processing workshops have beenorganised on a regular basis (see an overview at the avisa website). Inline with previous meetings, this conference will consist of a mixture ofregular presentations (both posters and oral), and lectures by invitedspeakers. All presentations will be plenary.

Submission of papers are invited in any areas of auditory-visual processing,including:

- multimodal processing of spoken events- cross-linguistic studies of auditory-visual speech processing- developmental studies of auditory-visual speech processing- gesture and expression animation- modelling of facial gestures- auditory-visual speech synthesis- audiovisual prosody- neurophysiology and neuropsychology of audition and vision- machine recognition of auditory-visual speech- human and machine models of auditory-visual integration- auditory-visual scene analysis

Abstracts of about 250 words are due March 1, 2007. Notification ofacceptance will be sent out by March 15. Final papers will be due June 1,2007. Four to six page papers will be published in CD-Rom form. In additionto the 4 to 6 pages, authors may provide audio/video files for inclusion onCD-Rom.
