SID 2005
Social Intelligence Design 2005
March 24-26, 2005
Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA
CALL FOR PAPERS
SID 2005 is the fourth workshop on the subject of social intelligence design focused on the impact and significance of information technology in our lives, work, home, and on the move. In this workshop we consider Social Intelligence (SI) as the ability for people to relate to, understand and interact effectively with others. The central question is how SI is mediated through the use of emerging technologies. Main Themes of SID-2005: 1. Natural Interactions - covering theory, modeling and analytical frameworks that have been developed with Social Intelligence Design in mind, including situated computation, embodied conversational agents, sociable artifacts, socially intelligent robots. 2. Communities - covering community media, communication patterns in online communities, knowledge-creating, network and anonymous communities. 3. Collaboration Technologies and tools - covering innovations to support interactions within communities, covering a range from knowledge sharing systems, multi-agent systems and interactive systems. 4. Multidisciplinary perspectives exploring SI at the intersection of different disciplines, such as, people-place-process, place-technology-interaction, that bring technology, work spaces, social behaviors and process aspects together. 5. Application Domains - including design, workspaces, education, e-commerce, entertainment, digital democracy, digital cities, policy and business.

Background: This is the fourth workshop on the subject of social intelligence design focused on the significance of information technology in our lives, work, home, and on the move. The papers accepted for this workshop will be collected and published on the SID2005 Web site. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special Journal issue. The first workshop SID2001, held in Matsue, Japan in 2001, in conjunction with the annual JSAI Conference. SID2001 established a forum for key themes in this area, such as, how new technologies mediate human communication and collaboration across geographical and cultural divides. The workshop papers can be viewed on http://www.ii.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/sid/sid2001/. Selected papers from the first SID workshop of the Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence were published in Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence LNAI 2253: "New Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence", edited by Terano, Nishida, Namatame, Tsumoto, Ohsawa, and Washio, Springer Verlag, December 2001 (http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-40109-22-2343142- 0,00.html). The second workshop was held at the Royal Holloway University of London, United Kingdom in 2003. For information visit the workshop's website: http://www.rhul.ac.uk/Management/News-and-Events/conferences/SID2003. Selected papers are being published in a special issue of the AI & Society Journal 2004, edited by Renate Fruchter, Duska Rosenberg, and Toyoaki Nishida. The third workshop was organized under the auspices of the Centre of Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) of the University of Twente and Human Media Interaction group of the CTIT. http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/Conferences/sid04/sid04.html
