The AMDO2008 conference took place at the Hotel Mon Port, Port d'Andratx (Mallorca), July 9-11, 2008, institutionally sponsored by the International - sociation for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), the MEC (Ministerio de Educaci on y Ciencia, Spanish Government), the Conselleria d'Economia, Hisenda i Innovaci o (Balearic Islands Government), the Consell de Mallorca, the AERFAI (Spanish Association in Pattern Recognition and Arti?cial Intelligence), the EG (Eu- graphics Association) and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of the UIB. In addition, important commercial sponsors collaborated with pr- tical demonstrations; the main contributors were: VICOM Tech, ANDROME Iberica, Ndigital (NDI), Robot S. A, DAT. The subject of the conference was ongoing research in articulated motion on a sequence of images and sophisticated models for deformable objects. The goals of these areas are to understand and interpret the motion of complex objects that can be found in sequences of images in the real world. The main topics cons- ered as priority are: geometric and physical deformable models, motion analysis, articulated models and animation, modelling and visualization of deformable m- els, deformable model applications, motion analysis applications, single or mul- ple human motion analysis and synthesis, face modelling, tracking, recovering and recognition models, virtual and augmented reality, haptics devices, biometrics techniques.
