 Romuald Deshayes [presentation]

  topics for discussion:
   * How should interactive applications using non-classical (e.g. gestural, vocal, tacticle) 
     user interfaces be modeled in such a way that the interactive behaviour is easy to specify 
     at a high level of abstraction while still being executable?
   * Which formalisms are most appropriate to model the user interaction (think wii, kinect and 
     sililar or more advanced stuff) with graphical 3D applications? Statecharts? Petri nets? 
     How should such discrete formalisms be combined with the continuous behaviour of the physics 
     engines used in these applications?

 Tom Mens [presentation]

  topics for discussion:
   * How should interactive applications using non-classical (e.g. gestural, vocal, tacticle) user interfaces 
     be modeled in such a way that the interactive behaviour is easy to specify at a high level of 
     abstraction while still being executable?
   * Which formalisms are most appropriate to model the user interaction (think wii, kinect 
     and sililar or more advanced stuff) with graphical 3D applications? 
     Statecharts? Petri nets? How should such discrete formalisms be combined
