Workshop on emotions and emergent states in groups
https://groupemotion.github.io/

@ 8th International Conference on Affective Computing & Intelligent
Interaction (ACII 2019)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstract
The study of affect in groups, although a major goal of affective
computing, has received relatively less attention compared to modeling
individual affect. This is primarily because studying affect in an
interactive, multiparty setting is more complex, and often, not very well
defined outside specific applications. As group members explicitly and
implicitly interact to coordinate their actions and achieve objectives,
so-called emergent states also evolve over time. These include pivotal
group phenomena such as trust, conflict, and cohesion. This workshop will
provide a unique occasion to gather researchers and practitioners working
on approaches for sensing, analyzing, and modeling group emotion and
emergent states from a multidisciplinary perspective, including
psychological, ethnological, sociological, pedagogical, and computational
viewpoints.

Possible topics include:
- Theoretical approaches to affective dynamics and resulting emergent
states in groups
- Research design: from controlled lab settings to groups in the wild
- Data collection, annotation, and sharing
- Approaches for analyzing and modeling groups taking into account emergent
states and/or emotions
- Integration of artificial agents (robots, virtual characters) in the
group life by leveraging its affective loop: interaction paradigms,
strategies, modalities, adaptation
- Collaborative affective interfaces (e.g., for inclusion, for education,
for games and entertainment)

Paper submissions:
Submissions should be in the form of long papers (maximum 7 pages; 6 pages
+ 1 page for references) or poster papers (maximum 4 pages; 3 pages + 1
page for references). Submissions should follow the paper format for the
ACII conference, details here: http://acii-conf.org/2019/submission/.
The reviewing process for the workshop will be "double blind": the
submitted version of the paper should be appropriately anonymized not to
reveal either the authors' identities or institutions.

All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 experts from our
international program committee. Accepted papers will be indexed in IEEE
Xplore. Exploration of a special issue from the workshop is underway.

Submissions should be made to the following easychair site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acii2019

- Submission deadline: June 17, 2019 (midnight PST)
