WORKSHOP SERIES: EMOTION AND COMPUTING
In recent years computer science research has shown increasing efforts in the field of software agents which incorporate emotion. Several approaches have been made concerning emotion recognition, emotion modeling, generation of emotional user interfaces and dialogue systems as well as anthropomorphic communication agents. Motivations for emotional computing are manifold. From a scientific point of view, emotions play an essential role in decision making, as well as in perception and learning. Furthermore, emotions influence rational thinking and therefore should be part of rational agents as proposed by artificial intelligence research. Another focus is on human computer interfaces which include believable animations of interface agents.
The workshop focusses on the role of affect and emotion in computer systems including emotion recognition, emotion generation and emotion modeling with special attention to AI specific problems and applications. Both shallow and deep models of emotion are in the focus of interest. The goal is to provide a forum for the presentation of research as well as of existing and future applications and for lively discussions among researchers and industry. The presented papers should discuss theories, architectures and applications which are based upon emotional aspects of computing.
The workshop series started three years ago was held in the framework of the KI 2006, KI 2007, KI 2008 and KI 2009 conference.
We intend to continue the workshop series in the framework of the KI2010 at Karlsruhe in September 2010.
