The Fourth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2016) aims to be the premier interdisciplinary venue for discussing and disseminating state-of-the-art research and results that have implications across conventional interaction boundaries including robots, software agents and digitally-mediated human-human communication. The theme for HAI 2016 is “Machine learning methods and multimodal interfaces to achieve social intelligence in robots, avatars, and virtual characters”. The conference seeks contributions from a broad range of fields spanning engineering, computer science, psychology and sociology, and will cover diverse topics, including: human-robot interaction, affective computing, computer-supported collaborative work, gaming and serious games, artificial intelligence, and more.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,

  • designs and studies of Human-Agent Interaction, including quantitative and qualitative results
  • theoretical models of Human-Agent Interaction
  • technological advances in Human-Agent Interaction
  • impacts of embodiment (e.g., physical vs digital, human vs animal-like)
  • experimental methods for Human-Agent Interaction
  • character and avatar design in video games
  • agents in social network

This includes more targeted results that have implications to the broader human-agent interaction community:

  • human-robot interaction
  • human-virtual agent interaction
  • interaction with smart homes and smart cars
  • distributed groupware where people have remote embodiments and representations
  • and more!

Full papers, posters, late-breaking results, tutorial/workshop papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Full details of the call for the submission types can be found at www.hai2016.org/submission
