During the last decade, games have become an established vein of entertainment, consumer culture, and essentially, a common part of people’s daily lives (36). In the United States alone 59% of the population plays computer games while revenues of the computer games industry exceed US $15 billion (4).… read more. “Call: ‘Gamification’ at 51st Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)”

Submission Deadline: June 15, 2017

Intelligent and Affective systems are set to transform the way we live and experience the world. While many intelligent systems already benefits us through scripted automation and transactions, the need for assistive, unscripted, autonomous systems capable of dealing with growing and aging populations is on the increase. The active role that AI systems are asked to play in people’s life poses many challenges – challenges that increase further when intelligent systems include affective components. The design and development of affective and intelligent systems face massive dilemmas related to the fundamentals of human and social behavior. In addition to many unaddressed (social, behavioral, decisional and moral) questions, many tensions exist among the disciplines that shape how these systems will become part of everyday life.… read more. “Call: Design for Affective Intelligence (DfAI) Workshop at ACII 2017”

OVERVIEW

This workshop will be held at IVA 2017 in Stockholm on August, 27th. The aim is to bring together researchers from a variety of fields interested in the study of conversational interruptions in multimodal human-human, human-agent (both virtual and robotic) or agent-agent interactions.… read more. “Call: Workshop on Conversational Interruptions in Human-Agent Interactions (CIHAI) at IVA 2017”

We are pleased to announce the following workshop offered in conjunction with the 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot & Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2017):

WORKSHOP
CARobots: Automated Driving Systems as Robots on Four Wheels
Lisbon, Portugal; August 28th, 2017
colocated with RO-MAN 2017 (http://www.ro-man2017.org)

Workshop website: http://www.andreasriener.com/RO-MAN17CARobots/

Submission deadline: June 25th, 2017

OBJECTIVE: AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS (ADSs) AS SPECIFIC ROBOTS

We argue that automated driving systems (ADSs) are robots on four wheels and the design of such vehicles is similar as the design of traditional robots. Questions, such as “How to design ADSs that evokes trust in its drivers?”, “How to avoid overtrust?”, “How should ethics be programmed in an ADS?”, etc., are closely related to similar questions asked in the domain of industrial robots or robots for human assistance. Then again, solutions of how to hand-over the control from an ADS to the driver and vice versa is interesting from human-robot interaction perspective.… read more. “Call: CARobots: Automated Driving Systems as Robots on Four Wheels – IEEE RO-MAN 2017 workshop”

9th Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference
Special Session on Computational Intelligence and Games
27-29 September 2017, University Of Essex, UK
http://ceec.uk/ceec17/special-sessions/cig/

Paper Submission deadline:  23rd June 2017

Games are an ideal domain to study Computational Intelligence (CI) methods because they provide affordable, competitive, dynamic, reproducible environments suitable for testing new search algorithms, pattern-based evaluation methods, or learning concepts. They are also interesting to observe, fun to play, and very attractive to students. Additionally, there is great potential for CI methods to improve the design and development of both computer games and non-digital games such as board games. This special session aims at gathering not only leading researchers, but also young researchers as well as practitioners in this field who research applications of Computational Intelligence methods to computer games.

Researchers are hereby invited to submit a full paper (5-6 pages) detailing their research, or a short paper (max 4 pages) describing their work-in-progress.… read more. “Call: Computational Intelligence and Games – Special session at CEEC 2017”
