AIMS OF MEETING
What part does emotion play in human cognition and communication? How may
it enhance human-computer interaction in the future? The main purpose of
the meeting is to gather together researchers interested in these and
related questions to discuss a research agenda. The meeting will allow the
sharing of perspectives by speakers at the forefront of different relevant
research areas.
