Call for Papers
Personalized TV/media experiences are becoming mainstream. Recommender systems and other personalization technology are frequently included in television sets and second screen applications.
Current systems lack one major ability: to be empathic, to take appropriate actions based on intentions, emotions or mood of persons in front of the TV.
This workshop has two major goals:
- Bring together researchers and practitioners that work in the domain of affective computing and social-aware multimedia. We solicit contributions from different viewpoints including interaction and sensing technologies, TV production and distribution, psychology, sociology, human-computer-interaction.
- Discuss potential contributing technologies as well as (evaluation of) application concepts and services, and identify challenges, opportunities, threats and strengths of these technologies in specific scenarios.
