The objective of SIMILAR is to organise annual workshops on multimodal interfaces. The aim of the annual workshop is to consider current practice and the ways in which computer interface design, the accompanying science and technology will develop in the next years. The annual workshop will address not only description of the technology in a particular field and the related technological vision, but also the much wider implications of the technology.
The audience for the workshop comprises of a wide range of decision makers from many industrial fields and sectors: car, airplane, medical equipment and phone manufacturers, IT solution providers/integrators, telecommunication service providers, scientific publication journalists, etc.
According to the participant’s interests several industrial companies (large companies as well as SMEs) will be invited to participate in the I.A.B. (Industrial Advisory Board) meetings.
In SIMILAR the following core application domains have been selected due to their characteristics and relation to multimodal interaction:
We organize the first SIMILAR Industry Day on December 4, 2006 in Brussels. This event will have a double purpose: we would like to demonstrate our research results to the industry and we are looking for opportunities to engage in future research projects.

We divided the day for three thematic sessions and two demonstration sessions and at the end we will look into the future.
Following the presentations of SIMILAR members in thematic sessions the invited industrials will be asked to give a five minute presentation about their company and their competences, objectives. Each session is ending with a Q&A part.
The demonstration sessions will show the different application areas of multimodal interfaces. The presentations will be scheduled so each participant will be able to see all the demonstrations.
We offer a walking lunch to our invited guests. Please do not forget to fill in the registration forms, so we can take your preferences into consideration!
