About AMT 2011

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, and AMT10 the seventh International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT11) will be held in Lanzhou, China in September 7-9, 2011.
