Brighton, UK, which was followed by a similar one in 1999
in Salford,

took place
in Madrid, Spain, in 2001, Irsee, Germany, in 2003, and
Kos, Greece,
in 2005. Since 2006 IVA has become a full-fledged annual
international event, which was first held in Marina del

2019 is the 19th meeting of an interdisciplinary annual
conference
and the main leading scientific forum for presenting
research on
modeling, developing and evaluating Intelligent Virtual
Agents (IVAs)
with a focus on communicative abilities and social
behavior. IVAs are
interactive digital characters that exhibit human-like
qualities and
can communicate with humans and each other using natural
human
modalities like facial expressions, speech and gesture.
They are
capable of real-time perception, cognition, emotion and
action that
allow them to participate in dynamic social environments.
In
addition to presentations on theoretical issues, the
conference
encourages the showcasing of working applications.</font></font></font></font></p>

2019’s special topic is “Social Learning”, </span></font></font><font
color="#111111"><font face="Times, serif"><span lang="en-GB">that
is learning while interaction socially; agents can learn
from the
humans and humans can learn from the agents</span></font></font><font

Agents can take different roles such as tutors, peers,
motivators,
coaches in training and in serious games. They can act
as job
recruiter, virtual patient, and nurse to name a few
applications.
With this topic in mind we are seeking closer engagement
with
industry and also with social psychologists. </span></font></font></font></font>
