SKILLS Scientific Conference 2008

"SKILLS Scientific Conference 2008"

The SKILLS Integrated Project
A New Approach to the Acquisition and Transfer of Skill

December 2nd, 2008

Augsburg Convention Center
Augsburg, Germany

The Scientific Conference on the SKILLS Integrated Project aims at fostering the research, the industrial development and the social involvement on technologies and systems for the acquisition, modelling and transfer of human skills. The Conference will present and discuss recent developments on basic research, methods for modelling skills, advances in capturing and rendering technologies, and industrial applications.

The Scientific Conference, starting from the definition of a unified approach to the theoretical challenges on skill transfer and moving through sub-skills analysis, scenarios definitions and demonstrator design, will address in a coherent way all the scientific results obtained during the second year of the Project.

In addition to Scientific presentation, hands-on demos and poster sessions will allow the external public to join and stimulate discussion among research and industrial communities. The showroom will allow the audience to get in touch with applied technologies for skill research, and the ongoing development applications. The demonstration session is organized by the SKILLS Consortium that includes highly qualified institutions and industries in the field of multimodal interfaces.

A detailed program of the initiative and an online registration to adequately support logistic and catering setup is welcome and can be done at the following address:
