The First Summer School on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (30 August – 1 September
2010, University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics) aims to provide a high quality forum for researchers
active in affective computing worldwide. The school is focused on a series of topics of interest to researchers
in the area of emotion and social signals in human-computer and human-robot interaction.
Recognition and generation of affect and social signals will be addressed for the purpose of designing
affect sensitive and socially interactive robots and virtual agents. The main objective of the school is to
provide broad coverage of the state-of-the-art of the addressed topics. The school also aims to extend
the network of researchers active in these topics and help new researchers and students to meet people
from different disciplines.
The school will run over three days, organized as follows. Every day will be dedicated to a specific
topic, with lectures and tutorials provided by experts in the related field followed by presentations of work
by students and researchers and poster sessions. The school will address the following main research
areas:
- Affect and social signals recognition
- Affective and social behaviour synthesis for social robots and virtual agents
- Closing the loop: models and applications
Call for participation and information for registration will be diffused soon.
