[Graphics-net] Call for proposals to host Affective Computing Conference (ACII 2011)

[Jonathan Gratch]

Call for Proposals to host the Fourth International Conference on
Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2011)

(apologies in advance for multiple postings)

 

-----------------------------------

The HUMAINE association is pleased to call for proposals to host the
Fourth International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent
Interaction (ACII 2011). ACII  is a central event for researchers
exploring the role of emotion and other affective phenomena in
human-computer and human-robot interaction, with relations to graphics,
AI, robotics, vision, speech, synthetic characters, games, educational
software, etc.. 

 

ACII is a biannual, conference that started in 2005. The former
proceedings were published in Springer Lecture Notes (2005, 2007) and
IEEE Xplore (2009). Extended versions of the best articles will appear
in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing.

 

Details of previous editions can be found at:

http://www.affectivecomputing.org/2005/, 

http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/acii2007/ 

http://www.acii2009.nl/ 

 

If you are interested in hosting this conference, please send your
expression of interest as soon as possible to Jonathan Gratch, President
of the HUMAINE Association gratch at ict.usc.edu, followed by a full
proposal by 15 August, 2010

 

The proposal should include the following information (a slideshow
format is welcome): 

 

(1)   Who you are (the organizing team), your involvement in
affect-related research and any previous experience you have in
organizing conferences and other scientific meetings (e.g. workshops and
symposia) 

(2)   A description of the proposed venue, including meeting facilities,
accommodation, travel access and social program

(3)   An outline budget (likely costs and expenditure), potential
financial support

(4)   Important dates

(5)   Any co-located or otherwise connected conferences or workshops

(6)   Any specific plans for encouraging broad interdisciplinary
participation in the event

 

The evaluation criteria will include:

 

(1)   Quality of proposal and track record of the proposers.

(2)   Cost. One of ACII priorities is to facilitate the participation of
students and young researchers, so keeping the cost of attendance low,
especially for these categories, is an important criterion. 

(3)   Accessibility of the location (i.e. access to airports, etc).

(4)   Venue attractiveness (e.g. quality of facilities and support of
"togetherness").

 

The organization of ACII2011 should follow the guidelines of the HUMAINE
Association.  See http://emotion-research.net/acii/guidelines 

 

Please send the final proposal to: gratch at ict.usc.edu, conati at cs.ubc.ca,
and R.Cowie at qub.ac.uk ***by no later than August 15, 2010***
