Building upon the success of the first EmoSPACE workshop at IEEE FG’11 and IEEE FG’13, the third workshop in the series aims to (i) focus on continuity in input, analysis and synthesis in terms of continuity in time and continuity in affective, mental and social dimensions and phenomena, and (ii) discuss the issues and the challenges pertinent in sensing, recognizing and responding to continuous human affective and social behaviour from diverse communicative cues and modalities.

The key aim of EmoSPACE’15 is to present cutting-edge research and new challenges in automatic and continuous analysis and synthesis of human affective and social behaviour in time and/or space in an interdisciplinary forum of affective and behavioural scientists. More specifically, the workshop aims (i) to bring forth existing efforts and major accomplishments in modelling, analysis and synthesis of affective and social behaviour in continuous time and/or space, (ii) while encouraging the design of novel applications in context as diverse as human-computer and human-robot interaction, clinical and biomedical studies, learning and driving environments, and entertainment technology, and (iii) to focus on current trends and future directions in the field.
