International Gesture Workshop (GW). This conference is organised as follows: Step 1) Submission of extended abstracts (2 pages), that are reviewed. Accepted submissions are presented during the conference, as oral or poster presentations. Step 2) Submission of long papers (12 pages), that are reviewed. Accepted long papers of GW-09 will be published by Springer in 2010. Following is the list of extended abstracts of the four accepted papers. The list of long papers will be added when the book will be published, with a link to the Springer website.
