Call For Papers**

The 10th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2022)

December 5-8, Christchurch, New Zealand

https://hai-conference.net/hai2022/ <https://hai-conference.net/hai2022/>

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.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  * studies of Human-Agent Interaction, with quantitative/qualitative
    results;
  * theoretical models;
  * technological advances;
  * experimental methods;
  * impacts of embodiment;
  * character and avatar design; and
  * agents in applications, e.g. self-driving cars, social networks.
  * agents in business and marking
  * experience design
  * Autonomous and adaptive agents/systems

Important Dates:**

*Full paper *submissions:     June 21, 2022

*Poster*submissions: August 2, 2022

*Workshop*submissions:     July 15, 2022 ****(updated)****


Covid Response**

The HAI2022 conference acknowledges the importance of face-to-face 
meetings. 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*ACM 
Templates Site* <http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>.

*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.

Deadlines:

  * First submission: August 2
  * Notification of acceptance: August 23
  * Camera-ready copy: September 6th


Workshops/Tutorials Submission Guidelines**

We invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held at the HAI 
2022 Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand, 5-8 December 2022. The 
workshop and tutorial sessions aim to provide an opportunity to discuss 
current and emergent topics on Human-Agent Interaction. The HAI 
conference seeks relevent proposals from a broad range of disciplines 
such as engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology, cognitive 
science, business, advertising/marketing and design.

Topics of workshops/tutorials include, but are not limited to:

  * studies of HAI with a quantitative/qualitative approach, across a
    wide variety of application areas
  * technological advances in HAI
  * experimental methods for the evaluation of HAI
  * impacts of embodiment
  * character and avatar design
  * agents in social networks
  * agents in computer games

  * specific applications for agents in retail, business and marketing
  * experience design

We welcome both full and half day workshops and tutorials that bridge 
the gap between theoretical advances and innovative applications of 
Human-Agent Interaction.

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.
