Dear colleagues,

We invite you to participate in the 2nd International Conference on
Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2014) October 29-31, 2014, Tsukuba, Japan

We look forward to seeing you in Tsukuba!


*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***

=====================================================================

The Second International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2014)
               Tsukuba, Japan, October 29-31, 2014
                http://hai2014.org/

=====================================================================

People are increasingly interacting with computerized agents. Examples
include autonomous and tele-presence robots in homes, healthcare, or
search and rescue, virtual characters in the expanding gaming industry
or for serious games, and agents representing other people through
on-line social and interactive meeting places. Although these broad
areas have their own unique research challenges, there is a clear
commonality to be addressed in the investigation of how people interact
with agents, whether they have physical or virtual embodiments, or
represent remote people or an AI algorithm; this commonality requires
explicit consideration.

The Second International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI
2014, in co-operation with ACM SIGCHI) 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 of this year’s conference is “equations and theories relating
robots, avatars, and virtual characters.”

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
- design of Human-Agent Interaction, including quantitative and
qualitative results
- theoretical models of Human-Agent Interaction
- impacts of embodiment (e.g., physical vs digital, human vs animal-like)
- experimental methods for Human-Agent Interaction

This includes more targeted results that have implications to the
broader human-agent interaction community:
- human-robot interaction
- human-virtual agent interaction
- interaction with smart homes and smart cars
- distributed groupware where people have remote embodiments and
representations
- and more!
