Call for papers

TiGeR 2013 is an interdisciplinary event for all researchers working on gesture who want to meet and exchange their ideas and latest results. TiGeR 2013 hopes to bring together researchers working on gesture from the social sciences and humanities as well as researchers from computer science and engineering, in order to further our understanding of human gesture production and improve the development of interactive systems that exploit gesture as a means of interacting with machines.

We invite submissions on all topics related to gesture production and perception. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following list.

Gesture research:

• Gesture and speech or other natural modalities

• Gesture in non-human primates
• Gesture and individual differences

We invite papers for oral as well as for posters presentations. We request authors to use the standard CogSci format, with the exception that papers should not exceed four pages. For your convenience, there are Microsoft Word (.zip) and LaTeX (.zip) files that you can use as templates. Please do not edit the margins or font settings of these files. Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair. When you submit your paper you will be asked to indicate whether you prefer an oral or a poster presentation.
