     SSPNet Summer School on Social Signal Processing
       IIASS, Vietri Sul Mare (Italy) - June 3-7, 2013
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~vincia/sspschool/index.html

The SSPNet Summer School on Social Signal Processing aims at providing an
extensive and thorough introduction to this exciting field at the crossroad
between psychology and computing science. The program will focus on the
three main areas covered by Social Signal Processing: modelling, analysis and
synthesis of nonverbal communication in human-human and human-machine
interactions. In line with the interdisciplinary nature of the domain, the lectures
will cover both computing and cognition science aspects.

The program (http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~vincia/sspschool/program.html) includes
the following three hours long units:

- Introduction to Social Signal Processing (A.Vinciarelli, U. of Glasgow and
  Idiap Research Institute)
- Social Robotics (K.Dautenhahn)
- Communication conduct in co-present interaction (A.Kendon, U. of Pennsylvania)
- Face and Head Behaviour in Human Centered Computing (N.Sebe, U. of Trento)
- Face Neuro-Cognition (P.Schyns, U. of Glasgow)
- Language and Communication Cognition (J.P. de Ruiter, U. of Bielefeld)
- International Benchmarking Campaigns (B.Schuller, TU Munich)
- Human Communication Dynamics (L.-P. Morency, Institute for Creative Technologies
  and University of Southern California)
