HAI2017 Workshop

Submissions

Prospective participants are invited to submit short (2 pages) or full papers (up to 6 pages). Submissions must be in pdf, following the HAI conference style. All contributions will be subject to a peer-review process. Position papers should discuss how embodiment and physical presence might have an impact on human-agent interaction.

Papers

All papers for the Workshop must be submitted in PDF format and conform to HAI conference style -- ACM SIGCHI format specifications.
Templates are available for Word, Word Perfect and LaTeX2e.
Page limit is 2 pages for short papers and 6 pages for full papers (including figures and references).
Accepted publications will be published on our workshop web page. Depending on the overall quality of the contributions, we might consider proposing a Special Issue to journal in the near future. Authors will have the option of opting out from including their papers in the website. Information on the opt-out option will be provided along with the acceptance notice for the papers.
Additionally, all participants are requested to address at least one (or more) of the following open research questions:
  • Is physical embodiment useful and supportive for human-robot interaction?
  • Which is the role of embodiment for agency perception?
  • Is there a need for a physical presence to elicit a sense of agency?
  • How do embodiment and physical presence impact on the perception of the capabilities of an agent?
  • Which is the role of physical presence and embodiment in the context of trust and reliability of a system?
  • How does embodiment relate to the concept of embodied cognition for robots in social interactions with humans?
Upon available time, those questions/answers will be used to "drive" a final discussion.
All papers for the Workshop must be submitted in PDF format by email to the organisers katrin.lohan@gmail.com .
Submission is not anonymous.
