++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++ ****************************************************************************************** Second International Workshop on Adapted intEraction with SociAl Robots (cAESAR), in conjunction with UMAP 2021, (on-line) Utrecht, the Netherlands, June 21-25, 2021 Website: https://caesar2021.di.unito.it/index.html <https://caesar2020.di.unito.it/index.html> ****************************************************************************************** The aim of this Workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are working on various aspects of social robotics and adaptive interaction. The expected result of the workshop is a multidisciplinary research agenda that will inform future research directions and hopefully, forge some research collaborations. ++Topics++ Topics (of interest) include (but are not limited to): - Personalized Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) - User modeling in social HRI - Adaptation strategies for social HRI - Affective interaction with robots - Machine learning for social robots - Natural Language Interaction with social robots - Emotion detection in social HRI - Social Assistive Robots - Social Robots in Education - Social HRI and Cognitive Impairments - Social Robots as Conversational Recommender Systems - Social Robots in the real world - User-centered Design in social HRI - Behavior Transparency for Social Robot - Empirical Evaluation of Social Robots ++Submissions++ Paper Submissions in EasyChair by selecting the track "Workshop-cAESAR": https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acmumap2021> Page limits: Long papers up to 10 pages including references; Short papers up to 6 pages including references; Position paper/Demo paper 2 pages including references. Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included in the submissions. Papers must be formatted using the ACM SIG CHI proceedings template: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template <http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template> (the paper format, not the extended abstract format). An international panel of experts will review all submissions. Demos need to provide links to the systems presented. Work that has already been published should not be submitted unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work.
