Call for Papers

International Workshop on Social Intelligent Agent Technology
http://siat2014.tbm.tudelft.nl/

Co-located with IAT: http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/iat, 11-14 August 2014

Submission deadline: 23 March 2014

This  workshop brings together researchers from computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and social science to discuss and set a roadmap for the research into new models, methods and techniques for the design and evaluation of artificial social intelligence.

We plan to edit a special issue on the topic containing extended versions of the best workshop papers. More information follows soon.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

·         human-computer/agent/robot interaction as a collaboration and coordination between multiple intelligent actors (human, artificial).

·         social interaction signals

·         computational interpretation and simulation of social science theories

·         representation and reasoning abilities for socio-relational capabilities

·         architectures and engineering techniques for social agents

·         models and insights on the new social reality integrating virtual and physical experience

·         design and evaluation of social abilities and qualities.

·         social-emotional qualities (empathy), motivation, ...

·         relation between embodiment and cognition

·         models and design for joint attention, perceptual common ground, synchronization of physical actions

·         interpretation of physical events in terms of a social situation

·         how do we deal with contradictory values and underlying concerns of the humans in the system?

·         mutual adaptation, learning and coordination (from roles and role-taking to partner models).

·         situation awareness

·         long-term relationships between human and artificial actors

·         measures for quality of experience and longitudinal effects and concerns of systems consisting of human and artificial actors
