II. Zip-Scene Conference on Analogue and Digital Immersive Spaces
Topic: Interactive Narratives – the Future of Storytelling and Immersion in mixed reality mediums and performing arts

Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest, Hungary

Abstract and bio deadline (extended): July 1, 2019

New digital tools provide novel opportunities for interactive digital narratives (IDN) in mixed reality environments, performance art and analogue immersive spaces. But does this mean that we can tell existing stories in a better way in these environments? Or should we change our way of thinking about how we perceive our world in order to create more comprehensive narrative experiences? In a recent keynote (ICIDS 2018 conference) Janet H. Murray – author of the groundbreaking volume Hamlet on Holodeck – the Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (1997/2016), reminds us that “a kaleidoscopic habit of thinking” can help us “envision a more integrated transformational future” and “open up the possibility of expanding our understanding of the world and our cognitive capacity” (Murray, 2018:17).… read more. “Call: II.

CONVERSATIONS 2019
3rd International Workshop on Chatbot Research
November 19, 2019
University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
https://conversations2019.wordpress.com/

Paper submission deadline: August 25, 2019

Chatbot researchers are invited to CONVERSATIONS 2019, a full-day workshop on chatbot research. This is the third time we arrange this workshop where chatbot researchers meet to collaborate and share their experience and insights from their work. The workshop is free of charge, and a good place to actively participate in this rapidly advancing field.

Participants are encouraged to submit papers presenting new empirical or theoretical work, as well as research on chatbot design, concepts, and evaluation. Relevant paper topics include, but are not limited to, the key challenges identified below.

All papers will be peer reviewed by three members of the workshop program committee. Accepted full papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, published in the Springer LNCS series.… read more. “Call: CONVERSATIONS 2019 – 3rd International Workshop on Chatbot Research”

Workshop on emotions and emergent states in groups
@ 8th International Conference on Affective Computing & Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2019)
Cambridge, UK
September 3, 2019

Submission deadline (extended): June 24, 2019

Abstract

The study of affect in groups, although a major goal of affective computing, has received relatively less attention compared to modeling individual affect. This is primarily because studying affect in an interactive, multiparty setting is more complex, and often, not very well defined outside specific applications. As group members explicitly and implicitly interact to coordinate their actions and achieve objectives, so-called emergent states also evolve over time. These include pivotal group phenomena such as trust, conflict, and cohesion. This workshop will provide a unique occasion to gather researchers and practitioners working on approaches for sensing, analyzing, and modeling group emotion and emergent states from a multidisciplinary perspective, including psychological, ethnological, sociological, pedagogical, and computational viewpoints.… read more. “Call: “Workshop on emotions and emergent states in groups” at Affective Computing and Intelligent Interfaces 2019”

BCI for (Media) Art and Games: Aalborg Workshop
Workshop in conjunction with ArtsIT 2019 – 8th EAI International Conference: ArtsIT, Interactivity & Game Creation
November 6-8, 2019
Aalborg, Denmark: http://artsit.org/
BCI for Art and Games: http://artsit.org/brainart/

Submission Deadline: 10 August 2019

SCOPE

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have been used for entertainment, gaming, and artistic expression. These application areas for BCI have been explored in the previous decades. Although commercial applications hardly exist, the general public has been able to get acquainted with BCI and use BCI in artistic installations in urban public spaces, in museums, or during public scientific events. There are also BCI games. Such games can serve different purposes: entertainment (just fun), treatment of mental disorders, or rehabilitation. Affordable BCI devices and BCI software platforms have made it possible for artists and game designers to develop ideas and design installations and applications that do not require them to invest extensive and frustrating time in getting a BCI to work or tuning it to their application.… read more. “Call: BCI for (Media) Art and Games: Aalborg Workshop with ArtsIT 2019”

FMIS 2019: 8th Formal Methods for Interactive Systems workshop
Co-located with FM 2019
Porto, Portugal
October 7, 2019
http://sites.google.com/view/fmis2019

Paper submission deadline (extended): July 1, 2019

Reducing the risk of human error in the use of interactive systems is increasingly recognised as a key objective in contexts where safety, security, financial or similar considerations are important. These risks are of particular concern where users are presented with novel interactive experiences through the use of ubiquitous mobile devices in complex smart environments. Formal methods are required to analyse these interactive situations. In such complex systems analysis and justification that risk is reduced may depend on both qualitative and quantitative models of the system.

The aim of FMIS 2019 (The 8th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Interactive Systems) is to bring together researchers from a range of disciplines within computer science (including HCI) and other behavioural disciplines, from both academia and industry, who are interested in both formal methods and interactive system design.… read more. “Call: FMIS 2019: 8th Formal Methods for Interactive Systems workshop”
