[Apologies for cross-postings]
Dear Colleagues,
The CFP below for the AAAI Spring Symposium Series 2008 Workshop on
"Emotion, Personality and Social Behavior" might be of interest to
you, as our organizing committee believes in exploring
interdisciplinary exchanges at the boundaries of HCI, HRI, game
design, the arts, and research on affect, personality and social
patterns.
Please note our emphasis on open discussions (vs. the traditional
paper sessions) which we value in order to encourage and facilitate
brainstorming interactions between colleagues from various fields of
research (too often artificially separated).
DO consider participating to this exciting event at Stanford
University, and come to meet colleagues interested in smoothing the
boundary lines to generate novel ideas!
Best regards,
Christine

FINAL CFP: AAAI Spring Symposium on Emotion, Personality, and Social
Behavior
March 26-28, 2008
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA
*******************************************************************
Recent years have witnessed increased interest in modeling emotion
and personality in cognitive agent and robot architectures.
Increasingly, the focus has been on exploring the role of affective
factors in social behavior. These include emotions, moods,
personality traits, and attitudes. Researchers and practitioners in
areas such as social robotics, game development, affective HCI, and
synthetic agents are increasingly recognizing the importance of these
affective factors in developing believable, realistic and robust
agents, and effective human-machine interfaces.
This symposium seeks to bring together researchers in diverse
relevant areas such as affective computing, believable agents, game
design, robotics, social computing, and the arts, to examine the
roles of emotions, moods, personality traits and attitudes in
mediating social behavior among biological and artificial agents.
The symposium will provide a forum for interdisciplinary interactions
addressing fundamental issues in modeling affect and personality in
social behavior.
To facilitate interaction, moderated panels, small working groups,
and open discussion will be emphasized, rather than the traditional
paper sessions. We encourage submissions of proposals for discussion
topics, panels, small working groups, as well as project demos.
Submission guidelines
Interested participants should submit papers of not more than 8 pages
(AAAI conference format), discussion and working group topics (1
page), or panel proposals (1-2 pages) to [log in to unmask] by October
5. Relevant topics include:
* How do we understand the interactions between emotion, personality,
and social behavior?
* What can they tell us about cognitive / cognitive-affective
architecture?
* How can we make compelling artificial characters?
* How can we make systems that facilitate social interaction among
humans or among humans and artificial characters?
* How can considerations of affective factors contribute to more
effective human-computer interaction in general?
* How do intrapsychic cognition-emotion interactions manifest at the
interpersonal level?
* Methods and techniques for more systematic approaches to design
* What are the best approaches to developing the necessary knowledge-
bases?
* What are the best data sources for architecture development and
validation?
* How can we validate models and architectures?
* What are the emerging standards in affective artificial characters,
robots and systems?
Submitters will receive notification of acceptance/rejection by
November 2.
