Motivation Emotion plays an important role in our interactions with people and computers in everyday life. Emotions, some believe, are what make our interactions human. An increasing number of conferences, symposia, workshops, journals and books address the subject of emotions and their role in Human-Computer Interaction, including workshops at the last three HCI conferences. This recent affective awareness is leading designers and HCI researchers to try and understand the subtleties of emotion and its effect on our behaviours. This is encouraging for a young field of research, and there exists many exciting directions where this field may be expanded. The specific areas of interest span recognition and synthesis of emotion in face and body, emotion sensors, speech specifics, and the influence of emotion on information processing and decision-making, interaction metaphors, design aspects, and many more. Despite these different areas of interest, there are common obstacles each of us face in our work. Topics and Themes With this year’s conference having the theme “Culture, Creativity, Interaction”, we would like to encourage contributions which take particular account on cultural aspects in HCI related emotion research, and on effects of affect and emotion on creativity. Hence, the following list of specific and more general topics is non-exclusive:
Who should attend? This workshop will meet the requirements of individuals working in the different fields affected by emotion, giving them a podium to raise their questions and work with like-minded people of various disciplines on common subjects. It will use predominantly small group work, rather than being presentation-based and will be focussed on selected topics based on the contributions. As with previous workshops, which resulted in a Springer book publication, this interactive and focused workshop is designed to produce tangible and citable outcomes. Participate now! To become part of this discussion please submit an extended abstract of your ideas or demo description. Case studies describing current applications or prototypes are strongly encouraged, as well as presentations of products or prototypes that you have developed. The abstract should be limited to about 800 words. Submission instructions and a template are available below. Accepted contributions will be published on the workshop's homepage with the possibility to extend them to short or full papers of 4 or 8 pages, resp. Please note that registration to the HCI conference is required in order to take part in the workshop (at least for the day of the workshop). Early bird registration deadline is 1 August (link to registration site). Submission The abstract should be limited to about 800 words and be in PDF format. For formatting guidelines, please use the templates provided by the ACM. Send your contribution to submissions at emotion-in-hci dot net Important dates
