--------------------------------------- ACII 2013 - 2de Call for Workshop Proposals --------------------------------------- 2-5 September 2013, Geneva, Switzerland http://www.acii2013.org The fifth biannual Humaine Association Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2013) will be held in Geneva, Switzerland on September 2-5, 2013. The Conference series on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction is the premier international forum for research on affective and multimodal human-machine interaction and systems. This ACII edition will emphasize the humanistic side of affective computing by promoting publications at the cross-road between engineering and human sciences (including biological, social and cultural aspects of human life). The ACII conference will be organized by the Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory and the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences from the University of Geneva. Geneva has one of Europe's most beautiful sceneries, situated between a lake and mountains and is a highly international city where English speaking is common. It has been a cultural center for many centuries and home to many creative spirits in the fields of science and art. In addition to regular papers (which are due 2 April 2013), ACII 2013 will also feature a number of Workshops. The ACII 2013 Workshops aim to facilitate lively discussions, comparison of methods, synthesis of results on particular topics of interest to Affective Computing. The workshops will be held on the first day of the main conference, Monday, 2 September 2013. We invite workshop proposals on any current or emerging topic of relevance for the fields of Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction. Workshop organizers are strongly encouraged to include presentations that describe the relevance of their work for other disciplines within Affective Computing ("bridge" presentations). Evaluation of workshop proposals will be based on the quality of the proposal, the level of details, the inter-disciplinary character of the workshop, the workshop theme and its relevance to ACII 2013. Two-page extended abstracts based on the workshop proposal will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Workshop papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Inclusion is dependent on paper quality as well as whether the workshop organisers want to do so. Proposal Submission Instructions: Proposals should not exceed 3 pages and must be emailed to Marc Mehu [Marc.Mehu_at_unige.ch] and Björn Schuller [schuller_at_tum.de].
