2016  
- 1st Workshop on Intelligent Virtual and Augmented Environments

IVAE is the 1st workshop on Intelligent Virtual and Augmented Environments  
bringing together researchers from Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality  
and Artificial Intelligence. IVAE will be organized in conjunction with the  
IEEE Virtual Reality 2016 conference taking place from March 19th to 23rd  
in Greenville, SC, USA.

Description

Todays Virtual Environments (VEs) exhibit impressive functional aspects for  
various application areas and many provide a vivid and engaging interaction  
and an increased output fidelity. Still, some of the potential future  
directions of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) require an  
increased incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). When the focus is  
on natural, context-sensitive, and computer-assisted forms of interaction,  
as well as on adaptive and personalized interfaces, scientific knowledge  
about Intelligent and Augmented Virtual Environments (IVAE) is needed by  
both the research community and the industry. IVAEs combine AI methods and  
techniques, e.g., search strategies, semantic representations, behavior  
models or machine learning etc. with methods from interactive graphics to  
drastically increase the capabilities of the artificial environments. The  
application areas range from smart virtual objects, intelligent data  
analysis and preparation, system enginee!
ring, multimodal and adaptive interfaces, to (humanoid) agents, computer  
games and many more.

Today, current results in the field of IVAEs are scattered across various  
scientific areas. We have impressive use-cases and prototype applications.  
Yet, we are far from any coherent body of knowledge about the potential,  
the requirements, or well-defined sets of best practices which would  
provide a stable basis for further progress in the field of IVAEs. The  
goals of this workshop is to provide a platform to initiate a closer  
collaboration between researchers in this field, to collect and document  
approved as well as novel approaches of IVAEs, to identify potential  
use-cases, applications, and AI methods and to come to a better  
understanding of resulting requirements and side-effects in the development  
and use of IVAEs. We expect researchers to submit state-of-the-art reports,  
best practices, early work, new models, new frameworks, original  
approaches, non conventional applications, analyses of user studies in the  
area of IVAEs. Topics of interest to the workshop include, b!
ut are not limited to:

Models, Methods, and Techniques: Ontological modeling, semantic and  
knowledge based models, machine learning, search strategies, cognitive  
models, behavior models, co-adaptation models, adaptive models, multi-agent  
and service oriented architectures, instructional design principles or  
design patterns, simulation-based, etc.

Use-cases and Evaluation: Agents based interaction, multimodal interaction,  
collaborative, ubiquitous and mobile interaction, user-studies, empirical  
studies of interaction, applications for IVAE in industry, training, and  
games.

Contributions

We seek contributions in the following formats:

I)     Research Papers (4-8 pages): Novel results in the field in the above  
mentioned categories related to IVAE development.
II)    Position Papers (4-8 pages): Interesting and possibly controversial  
points of view of technical or technological advancements and approaches to  
foster a discussion at the event.
III)   State-of-the-Art Reports (4-8 pages): Summary of relevant work,  
potentially highlighting a longer series of prior achievements and  
approaches of a certain group or of in a certain area.

Contributions are planned to be included and indexed in the IEEE digital  
library. Papers must be written in English and follow the IEEE Computer  
Society format found at:

http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html

Abstracts, full papers, and camera-ready versions have to be submitted  
electronically using the conference management below.
