Call for Participation for the Workshop
Standards in Emotion Modeling, 2011
Lorentz Center, Leiden.
15-19 August 2011
http://www.sem2011.org
*Topic
We are proud to announce the 1st workshop on Standards in Emotion
Modeling. This workshop focuses on the core of computational modeling of
emotion, including emotion generation (causal factors), and the effects
of emotion on cognition. The primary aim of the workshop is to emphasize
the interplay between emotion psychology and computational modeling. Its
focus is on:
1. validating computational models of emotion with respect to their
underlying psychological theory of emotion, and,
2. comparing computational models of emotion to facilitate sharing
results and working towards generic computational mechanisms of emotion.
In order to tackle these two challenges, this workshop brings together
ambitious young researchers and veterans in the field for 5 full days.
In addition to regular paper presentations, a significant part of the
time is reserved for plenary discussions and working groups. We are
proud to have confirmed participation of leading international
scientists in computational modeling of emotion as well as emotion
psychologists (see list below). It will be held from 15 to 19 August
2011 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. We invite
potential participants to submit a paper.
*Submission
We invite paper contributions from researchers involved directly in the
previously mentioned topics. Each submitted paper should address one (or
both) of the topics explicitly: the proposed model must be compared to
another existing model, or the proposed model must be compared to the
underlying emotion theory and its findings related to emotion
psychology. Position papers about how to compare and validate
computational models of emotion are acceptable, provided that they give
concrete evidence of the workability of the proposed views, methods,
guidelines, etc. Although the current workshop has a focus on modeling
based on cognitive theories of emotion, other modeling approaches (e.g.,
biological or neuroscientific) are welcome. Papers should not exceed 10
pages in Springer LNCS Proceedings format (see www.springer.com
<http://www.springer.com>). Papers will be peer reviewed. The submission
deadline is *May 15st 2011*. Please note that we can accommodate a
maximum number of about 35 workshop participants. Depending on quality
and number of the submissions, Springer post-workshop proceedings will
be published based on accepted and revised papers. Finally, we can
confirm that a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing
will be published for excellent submitted contributions as well as
publishable joint work as a result of the workshop itself. Submissions
should be sent by email in PDF format with a subject that includes
SEM2011 (verbatim) to: [log in to unmask]

You will receive a confirmation of your submission. If you did not
receive one, then please resubmit.
*Organisation
Joost Broekens (TU, Delft, The Netherlands)
Tibor Bosse (VU, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
Stacy Marsella (ICT, USC, USA)
*Important dates
Submission deadline: 15 May 2011
Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2011
Workshop: 15-19 August 2011
*Venue
The Lorentz Center, Leiden, The Netherlands.
The Lorentz Center facilitates workshops and provides all needed
facilities, including desks for participants, internet access, coffee,
tea, etc. In addition to that it provides logistic and financial
support, making a workshop at the Lorentz Center an event that can
really focus on science and not other things. Thanks to the Lorentz
Center support, there is no registration fee for this workshop.
Leiden, The Netherlands
Leiden is a beautiful old Dutch city, and has the second largest
historical center of the Netherlands. It provides a lot of sightseeing
opportunity, eating, museums, architecture, etc. In addition to that it
is only 20 minutes from Schiphol airport, a major international airport
with many direct flights, and only 30 minutes from Amsterdam.
