Call For Papers - CFP

fourth international conference and

premier forum for state of the art in research on affective and

multimodal intelligent systems. This year we are encouraging

papers on a range of topics from the interdisciplinary arena

encompassing Computer Science, Engineering, Virtual Agents,

Psychology, and the Affective, Cognitive, Learning, and Social

Sciences. Authors of a selected subset of accepted papers

will be invited to publish expanded versions in IEEE Transactions

on Affective Computing.

The 2011 conference will be held at the FedEx Institute of

Technology at the University of Memphis, which is a large

urban campus at the center of the city. Home of the Blues and

the birth place of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Memphis is renowned for its rich

musical history and Southern Hospitality.

Topics of Interest (but not limited to)

? Recognition & Synthesis of Human Affect (face, speech, body,

physiology, context, text, and neuroscience)

? Affect-Sensitive Applications (learning environments, virtual

reality, entertainment, smart environments, health care)

? Methodological Issues in Affective Computing (affect annotation,

reliability, validity, psychometric tools)

? Affective & Social Robotics (affective robotics, embodied emotions,

biologically-inspired affective architectures)

? Affective & Behavioral Interfaces (adaptive, human-centered,

collaborative, and proactive interfaces)

? Affective Agents (emotion, personality, affective decision making,

and architectures of Embodied Conversational Agents)

? Relevant Insights from Psychology (emotion theories, computational

models of emotion, individual differences, affect-sensitive, cognitive

modeling, cultural, and ethical issues)

? Affective Databases, Evaluation, & Annotation Tools

(spontaneous/induced/acted emotions, protocols, coding schemes)

Submission Instructions

? The papers should feature original work (i.e., not

submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference

or journal while in review).

? The proceedings of ACII 2011 will be published by Springer. Papers

should not exceed 10 pages and should be formatted

according to the Springer LNCS formatting guidelines.

? Papers must be submitted as PDF through the

EasyChair conference system, which can be accessed

through the main conference web site.
