We invite proposals for Workshops and Tutorials to be held at HAI 2016
Conference, which will take place during the main conference scheduled
for 4-7 October, 2016 Singapore.

The workshop and tutorial sessions aim to provide an opportunity to discuss
current and emergent topics on Human-Agent Interaction including but not

the social aspects of agent interfacing. In particular, we welcome both full

theoretical advances and innovative applications of Human-Agent interaction.

All accepted workshop papers and tutorial articles will be archived in the
ACM Digital Library as extended abstracts.
