vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Across computer science, robotics, psychology and the commercial world, there has been a rapid growth in the research, development and application of artificial social agents. Computer scientists and roboticists are researching graphics-based and physical social agents. Psychologists and neuroscientists are using these artifacts in laboratory experiments in order to study our interaction with them as well as to use them as confederates in the study of human behavior. Companies are actively developing similar technologies. However, these communities too rarely interact even though there are close synergies between psychology, the study of human behavior, and artificial social agents, the engineering of human behavior. The design of an artificial social agent involves the formalization of theories and data about human behavior, integration of resulting models into an agent and evaluation of its behavior, leveraging techniques derived from psychology. Each of these steps can in return be of fundamental value to psychological research. For example, formalization and integration forces one to concretely specify theoretical constructs and thereby expose hidden assumptions and gaps in theories. IVA 2020’s Special Topic provides an invitation to researchers and developers across disciplines to share their work on the challenges and uses of social agent research, in the hope to further trans-disciplinary collaboration.</span></div><br class=""><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Paper submissions should be anonymous and prepared in the "ACM Standard" format, more specifically the "SigConf" format.</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">- The LaTeX template for the "ACM Standard"/"SigConf" format can be found inside the official 2017 ACM Master article template package.
