In this digital age, Multimodal Interfaces are extending and replacing mechanical and electrical instruments. Impressive results have been achieved and new challenging applications are foreseen in fields like medicine, assistance to disabled persons, communication, design, performing arts, games, and many other types of human activity involving computer interaction. Research on Multimodal Interfaces is a challenging interdisciplinary field, blending perception and action, sensory modalities and cognition, physics and the humanities, computer science and signal processing, theory and experiments, and last but not least science and art. The summer 2008 has been a bit rainy in Paris, like it was in Mons in 2005, the ideal weather to welcome at LIMSI researchers in Multimodal Interfaces worldwide for the eNTERFACE08 workshop, the 4th of a series of successful workshops initiated by SIMILAR, the European Network of Excellence (NoE) on Multimodal interfaces. eNTERFACE’08 followed the fruitful path opened by eNTERFACE’05 in Mons, Belgium, and continued by eNTERFACE’06 in Dubrovnik, Croatia and eNTERFACE’07 Istanbul, Turkey. The result was very successful, with 78 registered participants, working in 10 projects. It was also very international, as participants were coming from 20 different countries, and working in laboratories in 15 different countries.
