In the great digital era, we are witnessing many rapid scientific and
technological developments in human-centred, seamless computing environments,
interfaces, devices, and systems with applications ranging from business and
communication to entertainment and learning. These developments are
collectively best characterized as Active Media Technology (AMT), 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 services to enable the
rapid design, implementation and support of customized solutions.
The first International Conference on Active Media Technology
(AMT01) was held in Hong Kong in 2001, the second International
Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT04) was held in Chongqing,
China in May 29-31 of 2004, the third International Conference on
Active Media Technology (AMT05) was held in Kagawa, Japan in May 2005,
the fourth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT06)
was held in Brisbane, Australia in June 7-9, 2006,
the fifth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT09)
was held in Beijing, China in October 22-24, 2009,
and the sixth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT10)
was held in Toronto, Canada in August 28-30, 2010.
Following the success of AMT01, AMT04, AMT05, AMT06, AMT09, AMT10, and AMT10
the eighth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT12)
will be held in Macao, China in December, 2011.
Active Media Technology 2012 will be jointly held with the 2012
International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2012). The two
conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and
banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can
attend workshops, sessions, exhibits and demonstrations across the two
conferences.
