ACII 2013 - 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS: Regular, DC and Demo's
-------------------------------------------------------

The 5th International Conference on Affective Computing and
Intelligent Interaction

http://www.acii2013.org

The 5th International Conference on Affective Computing and
Intelligent Interaction is organized in cooperation with the AAAI and
Technically Co-Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. Proceedings
will be published by IEEE Computer Society and will be indexed in
IEEEXplore.

This ACII edition will emphasize the humanistic side of affective
computing by promoting publications at the cross-road between
engineering and human sciences (including biological, social and
cultural aspects of human life).

The conference will address, but is not limited to, the following topics:

.    Computational and psychological models of emotion;
.    Affect in arts, entertainment and multimedia (literature, texts,
music, movies, games, interactive art);
.    Bodily manifestations of affect (facial expressions, body
movements, behavior, physiology, multimodal studies);
.    Databases for emotion processing: development and issues;
.    Affective interfaces and applications (games, learning, dialogue systems.);
.    Ecological and continuous emotion assessment;
.    Affect in social interactions.


SUBMISSIONS
-----------

Regular Papers:
The papers should feature original work (i.e., not submitted to
another conference or journal while in review by ACII). Details about
the submission instructions, length, and format will appear on the
ACII 2013 website soon. Authors of a selected subset of accepted
papers will be invited to publish extended versions in one of the two
journals that have already agreed to publish such contributions.

Doctoral Consortium:
The Doctoral Consortium (DC) serves as forum for PhD students to share
ideas about the theories behind affective computing, its development,
and its application. Submissions should describe PhD research that is
at a stage where feedback from the international community might be of
value. DC Submissions will be reviewed, and accepted contributions are
published in the conference proceedings. The Professor Fiorella de
Rosis award will be presented to the best DC paper. Details about the
Doctoral Consortium and submission are communicated in a separate CFP
and will appear on the ACII 2013 website soon.

Interactive Events (Demos):
The ACII 2013 Interactive Events (Demos) Session is the ideal forum
for researchers and practitioners to showcase recent advances in
affective computing. The session will feature live demonstration of
both mature systems and prototypes, and the presenters will have the
opportunity to discuss their systems with the broader international
scientific community and the public at large. Two-page Interactive
Event extended abstracts will be published in the Conference
Proceedings. Details about the Interactive Events (Demos) and proposal
submission are communicated in a separate CFP and will appear on the
ACII 2013 website soon.

Optional Public Event (deadline passed):
See website for more information soon.

Workshops (deadline passed):
See website for more information on accepted workshops soon.

Note
Authors of accepted work (papers, extended abstract, demos) have to
register in order to have their work published and they have to attend
the conference to present their work.
