5th Workshop on Affective Computing and Context Awareness in Ambient Intelligence (AfCAI 2024)

The workshop will be held as part of the 10th International Conference on the Interplay between Natural and Artificial Computation (IWINAC2024), in Real Marina Hotel & Spa, Olhao, Algarve, Portugal on 4 June - 7 June, 2024.

Description

The objective of the workshop is to bring together people interested in research on affective computing, ambient intelligence, and context aware systems. We assume a goal-oriented yet multidisciplinary research approach, including computer science, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, and experimental sciences. We consider both fundamental and applied research with participation of companies where possible. Furthermore, we focus at having working sessions dedicated to identifying opportunities for cooperation and joint project applications.

The list of the topics include, but is not limited to:

Affective Computing (AfC)
Affective computer games
Affective social networks
Affect-based adaptation and personalization in intelligent systems
Applications of AfC in Ambient intelligence, mobiles and wearables (AmI)
Context aware systems: affect as context (CaS), affective data and social signals from wearable sensors
Knowledge Representation for AfC, including semantic methids and ontology engineering
Data mining and knowledge discovery methods for AfC and AmL
Opinion Mining and Natural Language Processing for AfC
Semantic computing and AfC
Emotive user interfaces
Gamification of AfC experiments
Mixed (virtual/augmented) reality environments for affect generation and acquisition
Models of emotion: computational, psychological, and philosophical
Cognitive assistants, affect- and context-aware conversational systems
Smart cities applications of AfC
Computational social sensing, AfC in social robotics, social cognitive assistants
Behavioural analysis and conflict resolution
Ground truth determination of emotion, mood and social signals
Responsible interpretable AfC
Generative AfC

Please, first send a copy to the workshop organizers (some time before submission deadline) and then, after workshop organizer agrees, register the paper in the submission web form provided by IWINAC2024: https://iwinac.confmaster.net/.
The contributions written in English (official language of the conference), of up to 10 pages (including figures, tables and references) must use the LNCS Template.
For more details, please refer to the IWINAC2024 Paper Submission Guidelines: http://iwinac.eu/iwinac.org/iwinac2024/paper-submission.html

All the accepted papers (oral or poster) will be included in the IWINAC 2024 Proceedings that will be published in the “Lecture Notes in Computer Science” series by Springer-Verlag.
A post workshop publication in a JCR journal of selected extended papers based on the talks given during the workshop and the discussion is planned.
