*ACII 2017 – First Call for Tutorial Proposals*
October 23-26, 2017, San Antonio, Texas, US
http://www.acii2017.org/
The Association for the Advancement of Affective Computing (AAAC) is
organising the 7th
biannual International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent
Interaction (ACII) in
San Antonio, Texas, on October 23-26, 2017.
The ACII Conference Series is an excellent international platform for
interdisciplinary research
on and discussions of topics related to affective phenomena. The
interdisciplinary character
of the ACII offers an optimal environment to cover the various aspects of
affective computing.
Interdisciplinarity is an important prerequisite in order to obtain
well-founded research on
designing systems which are able to detect, recognise, interpret, simulate,
express, and adapt
to emotions and affective states of humans. The theme of the 2017 edition
of the conference
is “Affective Computing in Action”, thereby, focusing on applications of
affective computing.
The conference is attended by both researchers with a long-term and
established track-record
and early-stage researchers in the fields of affective computing,
psychology, artificial
intelligence, or intelligent interaction. Following the nature of ACII
participants we encourage
tutorial proposals which addresses topics of affective computing and
intelligent interaction in
introductory or advanced levels to complement the conference's program.
In general, tutorials may introduce an uprising issue to the related
research discussed at ACII
2017, or reflect an overview of an important, but already established
topic, both presented in
an illustrative fashion. For this, we expect that the tutors focus on the
state-of-the-art or the
main ideas of the proposed topic rather than primary on the presenters' own
research
interests. The tutorials can be organised as either half-day (preferred) or
full-day events and
will take place at the same venue as the main conference. The proposals
will be evaluated
based on the impact, quality, interdisciplinary character, presentation
format as well as the
theme and relevance to the conference.
*Proposal Submission Instructions*
Tutorial proposals should not exceed 4 pages and have to be emailed to
