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.

AMT'13 aims at providing a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, to increase the cross-fertilization of ideas and explore the fundamental roles, interactions as well as practical impacts of intelligent information technology and computer science on the next generation of computing environments, systems and media. AMT will feature high-quality, original research papers in all theoretical, technical, practical, and interdisciplinary studies that make up the field of active media technology.

The 1st International Conference on Active Media Technology (AM'01) was held in Hong Kong in 2001, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th International Conferences on Active Media Technology (AMT04, AMT05, AMT06) were held respectively, in Chongqing China, Kagawa Japan, and Brisbane Australia, and the 5th, 6th, and 7th International Conferences on Active Media Technology (AMT'09, AMT'10, AMT'11) were jointly held with International Conferences on Brain Informatics (BI09, BI10, BI11), respectively, in Beijing China, Toronto Canada, and Lanzhou China. Active Media Technology 2012 (AMT12) was held under the 2012 World Intelligence Congress, jointly with other four international conferences (BI12, WI-IAT12 and ISMIS12) in 2012. Following the success of AMT01, AMT04, AMT05, AMT06, AMT09, AMT10, AMT11 and AMT12, Active Media Technology 2013 (AMT'13) will be held in Maebashi, Japan, October 29-31, 2013.

Active Media Technology 2013 will be jointly held with the 2013 International Conference on Brain and Health Informatics (BHI'13). The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend sessions, exhibits and demonstrations across the two conferences.

The AMT-BHI 2013 joint conference is co-organized by Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org), IEEE Task Force on Brain Informatics (IEEE TF-BI) and Maebashi Institute of Technology.

On-Line Submissions and Publication

There are 2 types of Paper Submissions and Publication, which you can choose one of them:

  • Type I of Submissions and Publication: Full Paper Submissions:

    High-quality papers in all AMT related areas are solicited. Papers exploring new directions will receive a careful and supportive review. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity.

    The proceeding of the conference will be published by Springer as a volume of the series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science/Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI). Extensions of selected papers from the proceedings will be considered for publication in special issues of international journals.

    Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines (available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) for 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.


  • Type II of Submissions and Publication: Abstract Submissions:

    Accepted abstract submissions will be included in the conference program. Selected abstract submissions will be considered for publication in special issues of international journals after their abstracts are extended to a full-length paper and pass a peer review process.

    We will also have poster, demonstration, and late breaking result paper sessions.

    Detailed instructions and a paper submission form can be found from the AMT'13 Web page at http://wi-consortium.org/conferences/amtbi13/
