> According to some theories, emotions come into play as soon as we
> consider individuals in interaction with their social environment. For
> some researchers, emotions are at the very heart of what being social
> means. In the last years, the AI community has echoed the importance
> of emotions in social interactions in a growing number of
> applications: expressive and social robots, animated and storytelling
> characters with "feelings", expressive interfaces, systems for
> human-computer emotional interaction, etc. This symposium proposes a
> multi-disciplinary framework where researchers can exchange ideas and
> reflect on the motivations, scientific grounds, and practical
> consequences of these efforts.
>
> The symposium investigates the role of emotions in grounding
inter-personal
> behaviors and social cognition, from the perspective of both, the
> individual and the collectivity. The main focus is on natural and
> artificial agents (in all sorts of embodiments) in social environments,
> and on the possibilities for cross-fertilization between research
> in artificial emotions and studies of emotions in animals and
> humans. Contributions on emotions in individual agents are also
> welcomed, but authors should state how their work is relevant from the
> perspective of social interactions and cognition.
>
> Submissions are sought regarding, among others, the following issues,
> in artificial or in biological systems embedded in a social
> environment:
>
> - Synthesizing, expressing, and eliciting emotions
> - Perceiving other's and own's emotions, perceiving the others
> through emotions
> - Embodiment and biological aspects of emotions
> - Emotions in (social) cognition and learning
> - Developmental and cultural perspectives of emotions
> - Intra- and inter-individual regulation in social interactions,
> - Emotion and motivation in adaptation and behavior
> - Genes and Intelligence/Genes and Behavior: The molecular basis of
> intelligence and emotion
> - Origins, evolution, and emergence of emotional phenomena
> - Emotions, communication, and language
> - Emotional disorders, emotions and social interactions in therapy
> - Philosophical aspects
> - Applications
>
> Contributions from fields other than AI, ALife, and robotics (e.g.,
> arts, biology, ethology, humanities, neurosciencies, philosophy,
> psychology, social sciences), are also strongly encouraged.
>
> Interaction among participants will be fostered, and ample time will
> be devoted to discussions. Presentations will be short and organized
> around particular topics. Poster sessions will allow for more detailed
> and technical discussions.

> Submission Information:
> -----------------------
>
> Potential participants who would wish to present their work at the
> symposium should submit a short paper (up to 5000 words) or extended
> abstract (1500 to 2500 words). Contributions should describe work in
> progress, completed work, positions, or give significant insight into
> the current state or perspectives of research in artificial, animal,
> or human emotions in social settings. Other potential participants
> should send a statement of interest (one page), briefly describing their
> work and their interest in the symposium.
