AI*IA 2007 - Special Tracks

10th Congress of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Human-Oriented Computing
September 10-13, 2007 - Roma, Italy

SPECIAL TRACK ON
"AI for Expressive Media"

http://aiia.info.uniroma2.it/ST_ExpressiveMedia.html


Description

AI techniques are now widespread in novel communication forms,
especially in those that aim at shaping audience/user's emotions through
expressive contents, e.g. behavior models of acting virtual characters,
engines for game programming, planning formalisms in interactive
storytelling, learning techniques for music composition and performance.
There are many forums that address such topics from specialized
perspectives, since the several communication forms have well
established traditions and practices; it also happens that applicative
papers of this kind appear in general AI events. However, the latter
requires an abstraction process that is not immediate, given the
modeling difficulties and the huge implementative work that is involved
in such applications. Moreover, it is sometimes difficult for organizers
to invent coherent sessions where to host such presentations.
The goal of this special track is threefold: to provide a definition of
the expressive media in extensional terms (through reworked examples of
applications), to improve the general awareness of the AI techniques
that are mostly employed (together with revealing new interesting
problems to be modeled), to stimulate the sharing of AI approaches among
researchers in different communication forms, usually sparsed in
different events or sessions. So, particular attention to
cross-fertilization is solicited; each paper will also be reviewed by
one non-expert of some particular communication form in order to improve
the circulation of ideas.
Special Track Program
The Special Track on "AI and Expressive Media" invites researchers,
developers and practitioners working in artificial intelligence, human
sciences, media studies, music, art and design, and other related areas
to submit their works. The special track will occupy one full day of the
Congress and it will run in parallel with the other Special Tracks. The
program will include presentation of the selected papers and posters,
one invited talk and a final panel.
