Call for Proposals to host the Fourth International Conference on  
Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2011)
(apologies in advance for multiple postings)

-----------------------------------
The HUMAINE association is pleased to call for proposals to host the  
Fourth International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent  
Interaction (ACII 2011). ACII  is a central event for researchers  
exploring the role of emotion and other affective phenomena in human- 
computer and human-robot interaction, with relations to graphics, AI,  
robotics, vision, speech, synthetic characters, games, educational  
software, etc..

ACII is a biannual, conference that started in 2005. The former  
proceedings were published in Springer Lecture Notes (2005, 2007) and  
IEEE Xplore (2009). Extended versions of the best articles will appear  
in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing.

Details of previous editions can be found at:
http://www.affectivecomputing.org/2005/,
http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/acii2007/
http://www.acii2009.nl/

If you are interested in hosting this conference, please send your  
expression of interest as soon as possible to Jonathan Gratch,  
President of the HUMAINE Association gratch at ict.usc.edu, followed by a  
full proposal by 15 August, 2010

The proposal should include the following information (a slideshow  
format is welcome):

(1)   Who you are (the organizing team), your involvement in affect- 
related research and any previous experience you have in organizing  
conferences and other scientific meetings (e.g. workshops and symposia)
(2)   A description of the proposed venue, including meeting  
facilities, accommodation, travel access and social program
(3)   An outline budget (likely costs and expenditure), potential  
financial support
(4)   Important dates
(5)   Any co-located or otherwise connected conferences or workshops
(6)   Any specific plans for encouraging broad interdisciplinary  
participation in the event

The evaluation criteria will include:

(1)   Quality of proposal and track record of the proposers.
(2)   Cost. One of ACII priorities is to facilitate the participation  
of students and young researchers, so keeping the cost of attendance  
low, especially for these categories, is an important criterion.
(3)   Accessibility of the location (i.e. access to airports, etc).
(4)   Venue attractiveness (e.g. quality of facilities and support of  
"togetherness").

The organization of ACII2011 should follow the guidelines of the  
HUMAINE Association.  See http://emotion-research.net/acii/guidelines

Please send the final proposal to: gratch at ict.usc.edu,  
conati at cs.ubc.ca, and R.Cowie at qub.ac.uk ***by no later than August 15,  
2010***
