 CALL FOR PAPERS
Special issue “on cooperative design, visualization and engineering for
multimodal systems and datasets” for the Journal on Multimodal User
Interfaces

Guest editors:
Prof Yuhua Luo, University of the Balearic Islands, Spain. yluo@ieee.org
Prof Henry Duh, University of Tasmania, Australia. Henry.duh@utas.edu.au
Dr. Weidong Huang, University of Tasmania, Australia. Tony.huang@utas.edu.au

With the rapid advancement of storage media and network technologies, the
data we need to deal with in organizational systems has become increasingly
large and complex. How to address the distributive and multimodal nature of
enterprise data and cooperative practice of system design to accommodate
the demand for systems of data analytics remains an open problem, which has
attracted rich attention from both from researchers and practitioners in
these days.

This specie issue targets on novel design principles, analytics techniques
and evaluation methodologies that are to address issues surrounding
cooperative design, visualization and engineering for multimodal systems
and datasets. The primary objective is to foster focused attention in this
emerging area and to serve as forum for researchers and professionals all
over the world to exchange and discuss the latest advances.

Papers to be submitted to this special issue must focus on multimodal
interaction and multimodal interfaces (e.g. combination of several input
and/or output modalities such as gesture, speech, vision, graphics,
haptics, touch, etc.). All submitted papers will be peer- reviewed and
papers will be selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme
of this special issue. Topics considered for this special issue include,
but are not limited to, the following:

- Innovative visual processing, analytics systems and techniques of
multimodal data
- Case studies, user studies, and application systems of multimodal user
interfaces and multimodal data sets
- Multiple user, multiple location collaborative design methodologies
- Demonstrating feasibility and applicability in cooperative design
- Visualization for multiple user, multiple location, concurrent
visualization
- System architecture, prototypes, and user interfaces for cooperative
visualization
- Collaborative process planning, scheduling, control, conformance testing
and interoperability checking, cooperative decision making
- Human-machine interfaces, frameworks, reference models, architectures,
tools and systems
