Inaddition,importantcommercialsponsorscollaboratedwith prac- tical demonstrations; the main contributors were: VICOM Tech, ANDROME Iberica, Ndigital (NDI), Robot S.A, DAT. The subject of the conference was ongoing researchin articulated motion on asequenceofimagesandsophisticatedmodelsfordeformableobjects.Thegoals oftheseareasaretounderstandandinterpretthemotionofcomplexobjectsthat can be found in sequences of images in the real world. The main topics consid- eredaspriorityare:geometricandphysicaldeformablemodels,motionanalysis, articulatedmodelsandanimation,modellingandvisualizationofdeformablemod- els,deformablemodelapplications,motionanalysisapplications,singleormulti- plehumanmotionanalysisandsynthesis,facemodelling,tracking,recoveringand recognition models, virtual and augmented reality, haptics devices, biometrics techniques.Theconferencetopicsweregroupedintothefollowingtracks:Track1: ComputerGraphics(HumanModellingandAnimation),Track2:HumanMotion (Analysis, Tracking,3D Reconstruction and Recognition), Track 3: Multimodal UserInteraction(VRandAR,Speech,Biometrics)andTrack4:AdvancedMul- timediaSystems(Standards,IndexedVideoContents). This conference was the natural evolution of the previous editions and was consolidatedasaEuropeanreferencesymposiuminthetopicsmentionedabove. The new goal of this conference was to promote interaction and collaboration amongresearchersworkingdirectlyintheareascoveredbythemaintracks.New perceptual user interfaces and the emerging technologies increase the relation between areasinvolvedwith human–computer interaction.The new perspective of the AMDO 2008 conference was to strengthen the relationship between the many areas that have as their key point the study of the human body using computer technologies as the main tool. The response to the call of papers for this conference wasvery good.From64 full papers submitted, 36were accepted for oral presentation and 7 as posters. The review process was carried out by the Program Committee, each paper being assessed by at least two reviewers. Theconferenceincludedseveralparallelsessionsoforalpresentedpapers,poster sessionsandthreetutorials.Also,theconferencebenefitedfromthecollaboration VI Preface of the invited speakers covering various aspects of the main topics. These in- vited speakers were: M. Pantic (Imperial College London, UK / University of Twente,Netherlands),E.Boyer(LJK/UJF/INRIARhone-Alpes,France)and J. Abascal (University of the Basque country Spain). July 2008 F.J. Perales R. Fisher Organization AMDO 2008 was organized by the Computer Graphics, Vision and Artificial Intelligence team of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) in cooperation with IAPR (International AssociationforPatternRecognition),AERFAI(SpanishAssociationforPattern Recognition and Image Analysis) and EG (Eurograhics Association).
