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
