The First International Workshop on ENgagement in HumaN Computer
IntEraction (ENHANCE 2015)http://enhance2015.isir.upmc.fr/

@ the 6th Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2015)
http://www.acii2015.org/index.html

_______
SCOPE
_______

Research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction is taking an ascending
curve in the conception of machines, like robots or virtual agents, endowed
with social and emotional intelligence. Conceiving social robots or agents
means that they should be able to interact naturally with humans. Thus,
they should be equipped with capabilities that enable them to understand
the user’s actions, behaviours, and mental and emotional states just like a
human naturally does. Engagement is an important aspect to be considered in
the design of such machines. However, despite the growing number of papers
on it, rigorous definitions of engagement compatible with computational
models are still needed.

The ENHANCE workshop focuses on engagement modeling and recognition. It
will cover theory, computational models, algorithms and techniques for the
automatic analysis of engagement in human-human and human-machine in dyadic
and multiparty interaction scenarios. This workshop addresses, for example,
the following research questions: How to establish a generally accepted
definition of engagement? How to take into account context in engagement
models? How to engage more than one user at a time? What are the minimal
sets of non-verbal features that are needed to perform an accurate
recognition of engagement? How to establish a general model of engagement
that takes into account all the components of engagement?

______________
LIST OF TOPICS
______________

We encourage papers and demos addressing, but not limited to, the following
research topics:

- Theoretical approaches to engagement in human machine interaction
- Analysis of non-verbal behaviour relevant to engagement recognition
- Analysis of physiological signals for engagement recognition
- Audio/visual/physiological fusion for engagement recognition
- Engagement modelling in multi-party interactions
- Context-aware engagement recognition systems

SUBMISSIONS AND REVISIONS
_________________________

Submissions should follow the IEEE conference paper format.

Submissions should include: title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail
address(es),
tel/fax number(s), and postal address(es).

The papers have to be submitted at the following link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=enhance2015

Both accepted papers and demos will be presented at the workshop as oral
presentation or in a demo session. All the accepted papers will be
published as part of the main ACII 2015 conference proceedings. Authors of
accepted contributions will be required to submit a camera ready version.
At least one author for each accepted paper or demo is required to attend
the workshop to present the work.

All the contributions will be subject to a peer-review by at least three
reviewers from the Program Committee.
