Call for Workshops / Tutorials

Submission Guidelines

We invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held at the HAI 2025 Conference in Yokohama, Japan, Nov. 10-13, 2025. The workshop and tutorial sessions aim to provide an opportunity to discuss current and emergent topics on Human-Agent Interaction. The HAI conference seeks relevant proposals from a broad range of disciplines such as engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, business, advertising/marketing and design.

Topics of workshops/tutorials include, but are not limited to:

  • specific application areas for HAI
  • technological advances in HAI
  • experimental methods for the evaluation of HAI
  • impacts of embodiment
  • character and avatar design
  • agents in social networks
  • agents in computer games
  • affective computing
  • specific applications for agents in retail, business and marketing
  • experience design
  • autonomous and adaptive agents/systems
  • multi-agent interaction
  • social simulation 

We welcome both full and half day workshops and tutorials that bridge the gap between theoretical advances and innovative applications of Human-Agent Interaction.

Please note: Tutorials are conceptually different to workshops. Tutorials are given by expert instructors, typically with established reputations, teaching people new to a topic. Workshops are meetings of experts exploring new knowledge.
