The 8th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2006) will be held in Venice, Italy, May 23-26, 2006. Started in 1992 in Rome, and held every two years in different Italian towns, the Conference traditionally brings together experts in different areas of computer science who have a common interest in the conception, design and implementation of visual and, more generally, perceptual interfaces, with a growing interest for mobile devices such as smartphones, palmtops and PDAs, in the framework of traditional and emerging environments, such as ubiquitous and pervasive computer applications. A special theme of this edition, suggested by the beautiful town hosting the conference, will be the design of advanced interfaces for art, cultural heritage and tourism. Both formal methods and concrete applications well fit into the framework of the conference, whose program also includes invited talks, given by leaders in the field.
Three kinds of contribution were solicited:
The Proceedings will be published by ACM Press.
AVI 2006 features two tutorials and three satellite workshops. Detailed information is found in the Tutorials and Workshops pages.
