		     *** HAI 2017 Call for Papers ***
     The Fifth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2017)
		Bielefeld, Germany ~ 17 - 20 October 2017
		    http://hai-conference.net/hai2017/
	  Submission Site: http://precisionconference.com/~hai/
==========================================================================

HAI 2017 is the 5th annual International Conference on Human-Agent
Interaction. It 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.

The theme for HAI 2017 is "How autonomy shapes interaction". During the
last decade a large body of research has been devoted on increasing the
interaction quality with artificial agents. This has now reached a quite
convincing level for focused application scenarios. However, with robots
and agents entering our everyday lives such scenarios will require more
initiative and flexibility from the agent, i.e. more autonomy.  Such
autonomous behavior means, on the other hand, that the interaction will
become less predictable. This may become problematic given the strong
research focus on statistical behavior models that focus on observable
behavior based on rather shallow structures. These models may not be able
to capture the underlying interaction structure in less restricted
scenarios. We thus need a better understanding and model of the underlying
interaction principles that not only takes situational and task aspects
into account but also includes detailed user models.  Therefore, a
stronger research focus is needed to better understand the underlying
principles of interaction between autonomous agents, leading to better and
deeper models of interaction. We thus encourage contributions that try to
tackle this question by focusing on more realistic and life-like
scenarios.

The conference seeks contributions from a broad range of 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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
- designs and studies of Human-Agent Interaction, including quantitative
     and qualitative results
- theoretical models of Human-Agent Interaction
- technological advances in Human-Agent Interaction
- impacts of embodiment (e.g., physical vs digital, human vs animal-like)
- experimental methods for Human-Agent Interaction
- character and avatar design in video games
- agents in social network

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!

Full papers, posters, late-breaking results, tutorial/workshop overviews
will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.

*** Submission and Reviewing ***
--------------------------------

HAI 2017 will accept ONLY online submission of PDF files in the ACM SIGCHI
format (http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform). ACM copyright area
should be left blank. Please visit the submission page
http://hai-conference.net/hai2017/submission for more details on preparations for paper
submission.

All submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and will
receive a meta review for quality assurance. Papers will be evaluated on
the basis of research originality, excellence, significance and relevance
to HAI. We also invite position papers, preliminary (but high impact)
studies, and concept papers.
