4th Workshop on Affective Computing and Context Awareness in Ambient Intelligence (AfCAI 2022)

The workshop will be held as part of the 9th International Work-Conference on the Interplay between Natural and Artificial Computation (IWINAC2022), in Hotel Botánico, Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain), on May 31 - June 3, 2022.

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

to be finalized

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 IWINAC2022: 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 IWINAC2022 Paper Submission Guidelines: http://www.iwinac.org/iwinac2022/paper-submission.html

All the accepted papers (oral or poster) will be included in the IWINAC 2022 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.
