Deadline for submissions: 15th January 2017

OVERVIEW

Contemporary emotion modelling includes many projects attempting to understand natural emotions or to implement simulated emotions in chatbots, avatars or robots, for practical uses of many sorts from entertainment to caring. The numerous models of affective phenomena in the literature differ in important respects. They differ in how they describe and explain a range of phenomena, including the nature and order of perceptual, cognitive and emotional mental processes and behavioural responses in emotional episodes. They also differ in their target level of granularity: from fine-grained neural to coarse-grained psychological. Different models simulate emotions (and other mental states) with different ontological status and with a different focus on whether they model external behaviour or internal states.… read more. “Call: Symposium on Computational Modelling of Emotion: Theory and Application (during AISB 2017)”

CALL FOR PAPERS:
European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (ECCE 2017)
September 19-22, 2017, Umeå, Sweden
http://www.informatik.umu.se/ecce2017/

Due date for all submissions: February 28, 2017

ECCE 2017 is the 35th annual conference of the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics. This leading conference in human-technology interaction and cognitive engineering provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experiences from a variety of domains. We invite papers from researchers and practitioners, which address the broad spectrum of challenges and opportunities in this area. The main theme of ECCE 2017 is Transforming the everyday. The role of digital technologies in our life has dramatically changed in the last decades, and the scope of cognitive ergonomics has extended accordingly. While industrial, safety-critical, applications and systems remain an essential object of analysis and design, an increasingly important focus of ECCE conferences is on how digital technologies become a part of our everyday environments and practices.… read more. “Call: European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (ECCE 2017)”

Web3D 2017
The 22nd International Conference on 3D Web Technology
Date:   5-7 June 2017
Location: Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
Website:  http://web3d2017.org

Papers submission deadline: 13 February 2017

2017 will be a historic year for 3D on the Web. We are seeing the explosion of WebVR and the potential of WebAR just around the corner.

With WebGL now widely supported by default in modern browsers, tools such as X3D, X3DOM, Cobweb, three.js, glTF, and A-Frame VR are allowing nearly anyone to create Web3D content. Commercial game engines such as Unity and Unreal are starting to offer ways to export and publish directly to Web3D.

The conference will explore topics including: research on simulation and training using Web3D, enabling technology of web-aware, interactive 3D graphics from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments, and the use of ubiquitous multimedia across a wide range of applications and environments.… read more. “Call: Web3D 2017 – 22nd International Conference on 3D Web Technology”

Dear all,

Below is a Call for Proposals that may be of interest to some of you.

We’re looking for contributions to an edited volume on space and the nonhuman in narrative. Our focus will be on how the materiality of space shapes certain kinds of narratives (and readers’ imagination thereof), creating a platform for thinking beyond the human scale. The collection aims to bring narrative theory and cognitive approaches to literature into a conversation with the nonhuman turn.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!

All the best,

David, Marco, and Marlene

Experiencing Nonhuman Spaces: Between Description and Narration

Abstracts due: 24 February 2017

“We felt enlarge itself round us the huge blackness of what is outside us, of what we are not,” declares Bernard in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves (1931/2000, 213). “What we are not”-the nonhuman-has emerged as one of the most thought-provoking concepts in contemporary literary scholarship.… read more. “Call: Experiencing Nonhuman Spaces: Between Description and Narration”

HAI 2017 Call for Papers

The Fifth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2017)
Bielefeld, Germany ~ 17 – 20 October 2017
http://hai-conference.net/hai2017/

Submission Site: http://precisionconference.com/~hai/

Full paper deadline: 14 May 2017

HAI 2017 is the 5th annual International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction. It 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 2017 is “How autonomy shapes interaction”. During the last decade a large body of research has been devoted on increasing the interaction quality with artificial agents. This has now reached a quite convincing level for focused application scenarios. However, with robots and agents entering our everyday lives such scenarios will require more initiative and flexibility from the agent, i.e. more autonomy. Such autonomous behavior means, on the other hand, that the interaction will become less predictable.… read more. “Call: Fifth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2017)”
