Best regards, Ricarda Wullenkord Call For Papers The 10th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2022) December 5-8, Christchurch, New Zealand <a href="https://hai-conference.net/hai2022/">https://hai-conference.net/hai2022/</a> The Tenth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2022) aims to be the premier interdisciplinary venue for discussing and disseminating state-of-the-art research and results that have implications across conventional interaction boundaries including robots, software agents and digitally-mediated human-human communication. HAI will gather researchers from fields spanning engineering, computer science, psychology and sociology, and will cover diverse topics, including: human-robot interaction, affective computing, computer-supported collaborative work, gaming and serious games, artificial intelligence, and more. The theme for the HAI2022 conference will be “Real-Virtuality: Merging the Physical and Digital worlds”. Indeed, during the past two years a lot of the interactions moved online; this year, hybrid interactions are becoming possible. This regain of the virtual world combined with advances in robotics and embodied intelligence offers new opportunities for researchers to explore the connections between the physical and digital realm. Agents, avatars and robots that can mediate and extend the human’s capabilities allowing a seamless continuum between metaverse and real world. While all submissions related to HAI are welcome, you are especially encouraged to submit papers in line with the theme for HAI 2022. The HAI conference seeks contributions from a broad range of disciplines such as engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, business, marketing and design. We hope to be a venue to connect these diverse areas, even though the conference will be online.

The time has come to meet in person again. The conference format will emphasize opportunities for researchers to meet and discuss their work. This means that at least one author per paper needs to register and attend the conference. We will consider medical exemptions. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will reserve the right to move the whole conference online. Submission Instruction: Format HAI 2022 will accept only online submissions of PDF files (no MS Word, Latex, etc.). All submissions will be reviewed by three reviewers and will receive a meta review for quality assurance. The paper will be evaluated on the basis of research originality, excellence, and significance, and relevance to HAI. We also invite position papers, preliminary (but high impact) studies, and concept papers. All papers need to be in the ACM SIGCHI format. Please visit the submission page at the HAI 2022 Web site to prepare and submit your papers. All accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages (+ extra pages for references only). For LaTex: Use the latest ACM LaTeX Template files from ACM Templates Site and use the "sigconf" (ACM Default 2 column template: \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart} ) For Word: Download the sample/template word document(s) from<a href="http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template"> ACM Templates Site</a>. Anonymization All submissions should be anonymized. Please remove all author information, including references to your own work and institutions. If references must be made, make them in the third person. If a person appears in an image who may be recognized as an author, please blur their face. If possible, please list your paper number (assigned by the submission system) in your paper instead of your name. HAI2022 uses double-blind review, which means that the reviewers cannot identify the authors of the assigned papers, and the authors cannot identify the reviewers. Details HAI2022 does not allow duplicate submission. These papers will be automatically rejected without further review. Authors may upload their papers to preprint repositories such as arXiv.org before submission. It will not result in rejection. However, the authors should anonymize their submission because HAI2022 uses a double-blind review. We instruct reviewers not actively to find such preprint servers, but encountering them will not constitute a reason for rejection. Posters We invite researchers to submit posters to be displayed during the poster session of the HAI 2022 conference, which will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand from 5 to 8 December. We seek contributions from a broad range of disciplines such as engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, business, advertising/marketing and design. Please submit an anonymised version of your work; all references to the authors, the research institute, and other identifying information should be removed for the first submission. Paper Length: up to 2 pages (excluding references). All papers MUST be in the ACM Conference Paper format; be sure to leave the ACM copyright area blank. This area will be changed in accordance with the ACM publication process (including conference name, ISSN, etc.). Please note that in submitting their work, authors automatically commit to be a reviewer for the poster submissions. Authors will be asked to indicate their area(s) of expertise when submitting their work and may be asked to serve as a reviewer for posters that fall into their area. All poster submissions will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, who will be composed of other authors and PC members, for quality assurance. Posters will be evaluated based on research originality, significance, and relevance to HAI. Authors of accepted posters are required to show their work as a poster during the poster session (either virtual or in person). Please note that your poster must be no larger than an A0.

Please note: Tutorials are conceptually different to workshops. Tutorials are given by expert instructors, typically with established reputations, teaching people new to a topic. Workshops are meetings of experts exploring new knowledge. Submission Guidelines and Format: Workshop and tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the track chairs and will be assessed based on their relevance, quality, and interests to the community.

Please consider attending/contributing to the UC AI conference. UC AI is a newly-formed transdisciplinary cluster for artificial intelligence research. UC AI encompasses researchers from UC’s departments and schools of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Psychology, Education, the Humanities and Social Sciences, and the New Zealand Human Interface Technology Laboratory. UC AI’s Conference also provides an opportunity to celebrate Ada Lovelace’s birthday in December. Nearly 200 years ago, Lovelace and Charles Babbage wrote the first programs for a universal digital computer.
