National Conference on Man Machine Interaction
(NCMMI-2016)
OCT 07, 2016
VIT University, Chennai, India
Call for Papers
Machines have become an indispensable part of a man’s life. Some say that humans are enslaved to modern technology and reject progress on principle, while fanatics of new trends simply must have not only the latest useful tools but every gadget as well. We see machines used in daily routines or in research, to make coffee, to save lives, to study secrets of DNA on the micro, and for space travels on the macro scale. The aim of the Conference is to bring together scientists interested in all aspects of theory and practice of man-machine interactions, providing an international forum for exchanging ideas, setting questions for discussion, and sharing the experience.

The Industrial Track solicits papers describing implementations of Man Machine Interaction solutions relevant to industrial settings. The focus of industry track is on papers that address the practical, applied, or pragmatic or new research challenge issues related to the use of Man Machine Interaction in industry. We accept full papers (up to 6 pages) and extended abstracts (2-4 pages).
Submission Guidelines

Submissions must include abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for full conference papers, 6 pages for short / work in progress papers, and 2 pages for posters, including all tables and figures in the Modeling of Artificial Intelligence journal format (http://ejournal11.com/en/obrazec.html). All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the author s will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) as a PDF at the submission mail (ncmmi2016@gmail.com).
