Call for Proposals to host the Fourth International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2011)
-----------------------------------
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 [log in to unmask], 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: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask], and [log in to unmask] ***by no later than August 15, 2010***
