THE WORKSHOP

The first Co-Creation Workshop (CCW 2017) will be hosted in Atlanta, GA at the International Conference on Computational Creativity on June 19, 2017. Co-creation is a new interdisciplinary research topic that asks questions related to human-computer interaction, computational creativity, and cognitive science. It investigates how two or more agents interact to produce emergent meaning and artifacts in a participatory process of meaning building (i.e. participatory sense-making). Collaboration is a powerful way to inspire and support human cognition. However, the same dynamism and flexibility that make collaboration and co-creation so effective, also unfortunately make it difficult to quantify, evaluate, and operationalize in co-creative agents. This workshop is designed to bring together researchers investigating technical, empirical, and theoretical aspects of co-creation to share insights on the unique challenges of this application domain.… read more. “Call: Co-Creation Workshop (CCW 2017) at ICCC 2017”

Special Session – SS07. Safe Human-Robot Collaboration
22nd IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies And Factory Automation (ETFA 2017)
September 12-15, 2017, Limassol, Cyprus
http://www.etfa2017.org

Deadline for submission of special sessions papers: April 9, 2017

The special session is promoted within the FourByThree project (http://www.fourbythree.eu/ – FoF H2020) and is organized in synergy within the “Track 7 – Intelligent Robots & Systems” of ETFA 2017. Industrial robots have previously demonstrated their excellence in industrial applications requiring dexterity, accuracy and efficiency. This is especially the case for large production batches, repetitive operations, and risky or unpleasant working conditions. However, when collaboration between robots and workers is required, including working in a shared space, it is often not feasible to use standard robots due to safety concerns. Safe robotic products have appeared on the market, but they lack flexibility (e.g.,… read more. “Call: Safe Human-Robot Collaboration session at ETFA 2017”

OVERVIEW

The 11th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, PervasiveHealth 2017, invites proposals that address innovative and important topics related to the application of pervasive technologies in the field of healthcare. This call is divided into two categories: Posters and Demos.

POSTERS aim at reporting on the progress of ongoing research and insights into the lessons learned from current (industrial, practitioners, government, etc.) pervasive healthcare practice. Posters invite a wide range of topics and types of work including formative or summative evaluations, methodologies, technological innovation, and design in the area of pervasive health. A shorter version of published work will be rejected. We encourage the authors to use the Posters venue as a way to open up discussions with the Pervasive Health community about their early work in progress and develop the work for future publication and innovation.… read more. “Call: PervasiveHealth 2017 (Posters and Demos)”

DESIGNING HUMOR IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (HUMIC 2017)

Paper Submission Deadline: 26 April 2017

INTRODUCTION

Humour is pervasive in human social relationships and one of the most common ways to produce a positive affect in others. Research studies have shown that innocent humour increases likeability, boosts friendship, alleviates stress, encourages creativity and improves teamwork. Humour embraces various types of expression – both verbal and non-verbal – and can be used to enhance the interaction outcome while being socially and culturally appropriate.

While humour is a well-established branch in artificial intelligence and natural language processing communities, in the human-computer interaction field humour is rather regarded as marginal research topic, despite its positive effects scientifically proven by decades of research.… read more. “Call: Designing Humor In Human-Computer Interaction (Humic 2017, with INTERACT 2017)”
