 ====== AfCAI 2019 Affective Computing and Context Awareness in Ambient Intelligence ======
+===== Date and Venue =====
+Two day workshop will be held in Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, Spain, on 11-12 November 2019.
+===== Description =====
+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.
+===== Topics =====
+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
