 IIID Traffic & Transport 2010: Call for SpeakersThe International Institute for Information Design (IIID) in Vienna continues its highly successful Expert Forum Traffic & Transport Information Systems into the 5th year.Unsurpassed in its field, this year's event is focused on Real time information in multimodal transport networks. Real time information, enhanced by intelligent information design, can reduce experienced uncertainty, effectively diminishing the main reason why too many people rely only on their car for transportation. The Expert Forum will focus on technical requirements and user preferences and how real time information can help determine the most convenient journey - which is often a combination of private and public transport. Preferences of travellers are not only determined by the overall speed of journeys. Other parameters are, in varying degrees: reliability, comfort, safety and cost. Reliability (or the lowest possible uncertainty) intrinsically determines the perception of the overall travel time. To counteract irregularities, effective system management precautions are needed. However, these must be translated into readily available information, which can be understood and utilized by travelers. The deadline for entries is 30 April 2010. more www.iii...

 AICE Extends Membership to Design, Motion Graphics and Visual Effects CompaniesAICE, the international trade association for the independent creative editorial and post production industry, has updated its membership eligibility requirements to now include design, motion graphics and visual effects companies.The change was jointly announced by Tom Duff, President of Optimus in Chicago and President of the International Board of AICE, and by Burke Moody, AICE's Executive Director. Eligible for membership will be motion graphics, design and visual effects companies, and the artists who work for them. These include independent firms as well as those related to or affiliated with existing post companies. The shift is a reflection of the fact that AICE member companies have for some time been aggressively expanding the technology, services and talent they have to offer to the marketplace. The membership expansion gives a voice to the design, motion graphics and visual effects companies that now comprise a large part of the post production world. "An association is the people," says Duff, who is also President of the AICE Chicago Chapter. "Editors have always been storytellers. When a designer creates a spot that is all animation or effects, they're editors and storytellers, too. Opening the membership to these companies will give the organization more perspective. We'll be better able to provide a more holistic set of programs and services to our members, and to the industry at large." more www.aic...
