Workshop at the 2006 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT-06)

Workshop Description
----------------------
The ability to communicate in a complex manner with others, to
exchange ideas and thoughts, to convey factual information as
well as wishes, goals, and plans, to issue commands, instructions
and questions, and to express emotions and interact on a social level,
is one of the most important and distinguishing aspects of humankind.
If artificial agents want to progress to the next level, and truly
and deeply interact with human users, they must possess expanded
communicative abilities.

This workshop focuses on methods and models to describe and implement
communication between human and artificial agents, in all forms and
on all levels.

The ultimate goal of this endeavour is to bridge the gap between the
richness, complexity and expressiveness of human communication, and
the (in)ability of artificial agents to (inter)act adequately in
cooperations with humans.

Topic Areas
-----------
   * models of communicative behaviour, communication languages
   * natural language processing, interpretation by agents
   * dialogue structures
   * action representation, action theory, action ontology
   * knowledge representation, ontologies
   * physical, spatial, temporal and semantic contexts
   * gestures and facial expressions
   * multi-modal communication
   * speech and speech characteristics in communication
   * cooperative behaviour, negotiation, judgement
   * social norms and roles, social behaviours, social interaction
   * learning of interactive behaviours,
   * learning in interactions, imitation learning
   * distant communication, wireless communication
