The Fourth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2016)

Full paper Submission Deadline: 14 May, 2016 23:59 PDT


The Fourth International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2016, in co-operation with ACM SIGCHI) aims to be the premier interdisciplinary venue for discussing and disseminating state-of-the-art research and results that have implications across conventional interaction boundaries including robots, software agents and digitally-mediated human-human communication. The theme for HAI 2016 is “Machine learning methods and multimodal interfaces to achieve social intelligence in robots, avatars, and virtual characters”. The conference seeks contributions from a broad range of fields spanning engineering, computer science, psychology and sociology, and will cover diverse topics, including: human-robot interaction, affective computing, computer-supported collaborative work, gaming and serious games, artificial intelligence, and more.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
– designs and studies of Human-Agent Interaction, including quantitative and qualitative results
– theoretical models of Human-Agent Interaction
– technological advances in Human-Agent Interaction
– impacts of embodiment (e.g., physical vs digital, human vs animal-like)
– experimental methods for Human-Agent Interaction
– character and avatar design in video games
– agents in social network

This includes more targeted results that have implications to the broader human-agent interaction community:
– human-robot interaction
– human-virtual agent interaction
– interaction with smart homes and smart cars
– distributed groupware where people have remote embodiments and representations
– and more!

Full papers, posters, late-breaking results, tutorial/workshop overviews will be archived in the ACM Digitial Library.
