Call for Special Track Proposals

The organizing committee of Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII) 2024 is inviting proposals for Special Tracks that will be held in parallel with the general conference track. ACII is the flagship conference for research in Affective Computing, covering topics related to the study of intelligent systems that perceive, express, or otherwise use affect.

Special track proposals should center on emerging research fields without duplicating themes covered in the general conference topics. Each track is anticipated to facilitate engaging discussions on state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and potentially controversial subjects. Papers submitted to these tracks should present noteworthy unpublished research and adhere to the same standards as main conference papers. Submission and review of papers for accepted special tracks will be handled through the same platform as the main track. Accepted papers will be incorporated into the conference proceedings.

Special track organizers will be responsible for soliciting and reviewing papers. Special Tracks chair(s) will interact with accepted track organizers to ensure a high-quality program.

Process

Please email your proposal to the special track chairs: specialtrack-chairs@acii-conf.net (max three pages, PDF format). Your mail must use (mandatory) a subject line in the following format: “ST-ACII 2024 | [Your Special Track Title]”.

Please address the following points in your proposal:  

  • Special track title
  • Names and affiliations of organizers
  • Special track description, relevance to ACII, and list of topics.
  • Initial special track committee
  • Anticipated number of papers
  • Duration (full-day or half-day)
