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, and the fourth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT06) was held in Brisbane, Australia in June 7-9, 2006. Following the success of AMT01, AMT04, AMT05 and AMT06, the Fifth International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT09) will be held in Beijing, China in October 22-24, 2009. Active Media Technology 2009 will be jointly held with the 2009 International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2009).  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. +++++++++++++++++++ Topics of Interest +++++++++++++++++++ CONFERENCE TOPICS AND AREAS INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO * Active Computer Systems and Intelligent Interfaces * Adaptive Web Systems and Information Foraging Agents * Agent-Based Software Engineering and Multi-Agent Systems * AMT for Semantic Web and Web2.0 * Cognitive Foundations for AMT * Conversational Informatics * Data Mining, Ontology Mining and Web Reasoning * Digital City and Digital Interactivity * E-Commerce and Web Services * Entertainment and Social Applications of Active Media * Evaluation of Active Media and AMT Based Systems * Human-Web Interaction * Human Factors in AMT * Machine Learning and Human-Centred Robotics * Multi-Modal Processing, Detection, Recognition, and Expression Analysis * Network, Mobile and Wireless Security * Personalized, Pervasive, and Ubiquitous Systems and their Interfaces * Semantic Comupting for Active Media and AMT Based Systems * Sensing Web * Smart Digital Media * Trust on Web Information Systems * Web Based Social Networks * Web Mining, Wisdom Web and Web Intelligence ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ High-quality papers in all AMT related areas are solicited.
