1st International Workshop IMTfCI 2004

1st International Workshop on
"Intelligent Media Technology for Communicative Intelligence"
affiliated with
4th National Conference on Multimedia and Network Information Systems
Szklarska Poreba, Poland, September 16-17, 2004

The workshop aims at exploring the dimensions (or different aspects) of intelligent media technologies that will help people develop individual or collective intelligence by augmenting their interactions in a significant and profound way.

The term "communicative intelligence" reflects one of the fundamental views that human intelligence manifests and develops in communicative activities.

Intelligent Media Technologies, originating from Artificial Intelligence, Human - Computer Interaction, Perceptual Information Processing, Web Intelligence and other intelligent and cognitive technologies, attempt to capture and augment people's communicative activities by either embedding computers into the environment, so that their interactions can be extended without being interfered by computer operations, or by introducing embodied conversational agents that will mediate conversations among people in a social context.

Since, in the majority of the applications, the most important element of communication is the content of conversation, the problem of intelligent supporting for its production, distribution and utilization is also included to workshop topics.

In addition, potential applications, such a e-learning or knowledge management, are deemed important as powerful thrust of research in this field and hence are welcome.
