2nd International Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Assistive Technology At IEEE Virtual Reality 2014, Minneapolis, MN, USA http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~jpq/vaat/ The IEEE VR 2014 Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Assistive Technology is intended to bring together technological and clinical research communities to advance the state-of-the-art in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) assistive technology. Over the past several decades, there has been a host of research conducted to improve rehabilitation and enable assistive technology for persons with disabilities (e.g., cognitive, physical) through VR and AR. However, this area needs to take more advantage of state-of-the-art VR and AR technology. We believe…

First International Workshop on Multiagent Foundations of Social Computing http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/staff/chopraak/sc-aamas-2014/ Co-located with AAMAS 2014 (http://aamas2014.lip6.fr) May 5-9, 2014, Paris, France Social computing broadly refers to computing-supported approaches that facilitate interactions among people and organizations. Social computing has emerged as an exciting multidisciplinary area of research, driven by the wealth of easily available information and the success of online social networks and social media. Social computing applications are characterized by high interactivity among users, user-generated content, and in cases such as Wikipedia, more open governance structures. Much of the recent excitement in social computing is driven by data analytics and business…
