Call for Papers
We are calling for papers to be presented at ACII 2019, the 8th International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. A selection of the best articles at ACII2019 will be invited to submit extended versions to IEEE’s Transactions on Affective Computing. These will be published in a “Best of ACII” special issue of this premier journal.

The general conference topics include:
Psychology & Cognition of Affect in Designing Computational Systems
Computational Models of Emotional Processes
Issues in Psychology & Cognition of Affect in Affective Computing Systems
Cultural Differences in Affective Design and Interaction
Ethical Issues in Affective Computing
Inclusive Design
Recognition and Synthesis of Human Affect from ALL Modalities
