In the digital era, we are witnessing rapid scientific and technological
developments in human-centered, seamless interfaces, devices,
connections, computing resources, computing environments and systems
with their applications ranging from business and communication to
entertainment and learning; these developments are collectively best
characterized as Active Media Technology (AMT). AMT is a new area of
intelligent information technology and computer science that emphasizes
the proactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new
media in all aspects of digital life. An AMT based system offers active
and transparent services to enable the rapid design, implementation and
support of customized solutions

Active Media Technology 2012 (AMT12) will be under the 2012 World
Intelligence Congress, a Special Event of the Alan Turing Year
(Centenary of Alan Turing's birth), and held jointly with other four
international conferences (BI12, WI-IAT12 and ISMIS12). The World
Intelligent Congress will facilitate interactions and idea exchange
among researchers working on a variety of focused themes under
intelligent informatics. The Congress will have a joint opening,
keynotes, reception and banquet.

The topics and areas include, but not limited to:
- Active Computer Systems and Intelligent Interfaces
- Adaptive Web Systems and Information Foraging Agents
- Agent-Based Software Engineering and Multi-Agent Systems
- AMT for Semantic Web and Web2.0
- Cognitive Foundations for AMT
- Data Mining, Ontology Mining and Web Reasoning
- Digital City and Digital Interactivity
- E-Commerce and Web Services
- Entertainment and Social Applications of Active Media
- Human Modeling and Personalized Services
- Media Art with Computing
- Machine Learning and Human-Centric Robotics
- Network, Mobile and Wireless Security
- Personalized and Pervasive System and their Interfaces
- Semantic Computing for Active Media Systems
- Sensing Web
- Smart Digital Media
- Transparent Computing and Active Services
- Trust on Web Information Systems
- Ubiquitous Intelligent Devices and Systems
- Web Based Social Networks
- Web Mining, Wisdom Web and Web Intelligence

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by
Springer as a volume of the series of　Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) and also will be available on site.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript
submission guidelines (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
or their initial submissions (a maximum of 12 pages in Springer
LNCS/LNAI style file). All papers must be submitted electronically
in PDF format only, using the conference management tool.

A selected number of the best papers from AMT'12 will be expanded and
revised for possible inclusion in "Knowledge and Information Systems:
An International Journal" (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~kais/) by Springer
and "Cognitive Systems Research: An International Journal"
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/13890417) by Elsevier.
