Embodied Conversational Characters as Individuals Workshop

Contact: c.pelachaud@iut.univ-paris8.fr
URL: www.vhml.org/workshops/AAMAS2003/
Deadlines: 15th April Deadline for paper submission
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Date: 14-18 July 2003

Embodied conversational agents are synthetic characters that resemble humans not only in their physical appearance, but also in their behaviour with more or less the communicative characteristics of real persons. They are gaining much interest, both as mediums to visualize models of human communication, and as interfaces in different applications. The first steps have been taken in the direction of expressive ECAs, by endowing them with the capability of showing emotions.

Subtle issues such as the impact of social role and personality have also been addressed. Non-verbal signals have been used to accompany speech to make a virtual human more expressive and believable, but, these works concentrated on modeling the psychological, social and communicative aspects of emotional and cognitive state. Usually the presentational issues are not dealt with as a research topic, but as a practical task for an animator, often only to make a specific application or demonstrator. Moreover, most of the agents created so far are generic: it is difficult to differentiate them by the way they move, answer, react? It can be said that most of the time, they all "come from the one mould".

The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages ( VL ) was established in 1984, based on the idea that visual representations can greatly benefit the task of computer programming. In response to the evolution of the field, the symposium has undergone several changes in recent years. In particular, it has been ( a ) expanded in scope; ( b ) divided into separate but affiliated symposia, each of which focuses on a relevant subtopic of the area; and ( c ) renamed to Human-Centric Computing Languages and Environments ( HCC ), reflecting our goal of developing tools that enable humans—using textual languages, visual languages or any other appropriate technologies—to accomplish their tasks more effectively.

Four of the world's leading researchers on human-computer interaction will lead a two day masterclass and symposium on 'Interacting With and Through Next Generation Computing Environments' at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand on the 20th and 21st of March, 2003. Professors Brewster, Fischer, Preece and Shneiderman will lead discussions on four broad themes related to interacting with, and through, next generation computing environments. Two themes will be presented each day. Each theme will be introduced by a ninety minute seminar by one of the visiting professors, followed by discussion ( led by the visiting professor ) for the remainder of the morning/afternoon. The nature of the discussion under each theme will depend on the written contributions from attendees.

The themes are


Who should attend, and registration requirements

The masterclass and symposium will be suitable for researchers, practitioners from local industry, and graduate students. There will be three types of registration: research contributor, industry contributor, and student. To qualify for research contributor or student registration, participants must prepare a statement of approximately 500 words stating what their contribution to one or more of the themes might be, why their work is relevant, or why their work stands to benefit from the discussions. Similar statements from industry contributors would be highly welcome, but are not required. To ensure that discussions are lively and inclusive there will be no more than sixty participants.

user_mode = emotion + intuition in art + design

Contact:
URL: www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/events.htm
Deadlines:
Location: Tate Modern, London, UK
Date: 9-11 May 2003

user_mode is an international, multidisciplinary symposium
looking at interactive art and design practices. Held at
Tate Modern, it will examine one of the key concerns for
many creative practitioners - engaging the emotions of the
audience/user. Questions for discussion may include: does
interactivity promise a more profound experience than more
traditional responses to art and design? What does it add?
How is it measured? Does interactive work offer more than
conventional cinema, theatre, painting or architecture in
emotional terms? Is there more sense of participation? We
are now calling for papers from artists, designers,
theorists, technologists, scientists, architects, musicians,
philosophers and others interested in this field. The call
for papers is aimed at all disciplines that can contribute
to this discussion. Fresh perspectives will be sought by
bringing together different disciplines to share their
views.

ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, and AIGA Experience Design are pleased and excited to offer an unprecedented joint conference: DUX2003. DUX2003 will gather together designers of all kinds from our intersecting communities who deliver user-centered designs for the digital age. Sponsored by three premiere societies, the conference program showcases the interaction between digital design, business, and users.

In order to truly understand not only what a quality user experience is, but also what factors contribute to the creation of a success or a failure, this conference will look at all facets of the product/service development lifecycle and at other facets of a business as decisions are made that affect the user experience. The results of the conference will contribute to the growing body of knowledge
in the AIGA Experience Design Case Study Archive and the ACM Digital Library.

Deadline:
Location: Adelaide South Australia
Date: 31 October - 1 November 2002

We are now well into the 21st Century - however you measure the beginning - and it seemed to us that there was no better time to look at computing and its power to shape, enhance and enable our future as well as to examine its undoubted 'big brother' ability in controlling and manipulating citizens. This conference is a professional development opportunity for computing scientists, practitioners and students as well as those who use the outputs of computing's productive processes.

No one in our corner of the earth is not affected by computing and in fact we believe that everyone is and for that reason, we hope you'll join us in Adelaide in October 2002.
