2006年から毎年，ヒューマンエージェントインタラクションに関する会議
（HAIシンポジウム）を開催してまいりましたが，下記の通り，8月7～9日に北海
道大学でヒューマンエージェントインタラクションに関する第１回の国際会議
iHAI2013を開催致します．


=====================================================================

The First International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (iHAI 2013)
                  Sapporo, Japan, August 7-9, 2013
                 http://hai-conference.net/ihai2013/

=====================================================================

In recent years anthropomorphic, mechanic and pet-like agents have
spread globally, which allows various types of ordinary end user to
interact with them. Although interaction design for robots and
software agents has been investigated in different research fields,
few studies were done on the subject for various agents in a unified
aspect.

HAI (Human-Agent Interaction) is a novel research field to investigate
and develop interaction design methods across conventional interactive
platforms including robots, software agents and human-human
communication through digital media. In HAI, mixtures of interactions
of these platforms (human-robot, human-software agent, and human-human
through agents) are studied. We aim to collect ideas of and clarify
the common design policies through these interactions to further
generate and develop HAI design methods based-on knowledge obtained
from state of the art research and studies presented in this conference.

Hence the First International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction
(iHAI 2013) will gather researchers from relevant but diverse fields,
such as human-robot interaction, anthropomorphic agent design and
interface design for the mutual adaptation between agent and human
user, to accelerate the progress of this direction.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design of Human-Agent Interaction/Human-Robot Interaction
- Impact of Embodiment (Differences between Robot and Software Agent)
- Theoretical Model of Human-Agent Interaction
- Robots and Agents That Can Learn From a Human Teacher
- Robots and Agents That Can Make a Human Do Something
- Relationship between Different Interactions
- Experimental Analysis Method
- Agent-mediated Human-Human Communication

<< Important Dates >>

- Paper Length: 4-8 pages
- Notification of Paper Acceptance: May 17, 2013
- Camera-ready Copies of Accepted Papers: June 7, 2013
- iHAI 2013 Conference: August 7-9, 2013

* Poster Submissions

<< Submission and Reviewing >>

iHAI 2013 will accept ONLY online submissions of PDF files. Paper
submissions should be limited at least 4 pages but no more than 8 pages
in the JSAI two columns format. Similarly, Poster submissions should
be limited at least 2 pages or more to 8 pages in the same format.
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis
of technical quality, relevance to HAI, originality, significance,
and clarity.

The reviewing policy is to positively evaluate impact, originality of
the proposed idea rather than insignificant accomplishment, strict
experimental evaluation. Thus position papers, preliminary studies,
and concept papers are also welcome.

Please visit a submission page (http://hai-conference.net/ihai2013/)
at the iHAI 2013 Web site to prepare and submit your papers.
