Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to The Third International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI 2015) in Korea. HAI has grown beyond our expectations in last two years and this year's HAI continues its tradition of being the relevant forum for presentation of research results and experience reports on leading edge issues of Human-Agent Interaction. HAI gathers researchers from fields spanning engineering, computer science, psychology, sociology and cognitive science while covering diverse topics including Human-Virtual/Physical agent interaction, communication and interaction with smart home/smart cars, and modeling of those interactions. The mission of the conference is to share novel quantitative and qualitative research on human and artificial agent interaction and identify new directions for future research and development. HAI gives researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of human-agent interaction. This year HAI has three exciting keynote talks by the world leaders in areas related to human-agent interaction. We encourage participants to attend them. These valuable and insightful talks can and will guide us to a better understanding of various research issues and methods in the field: Designing the Robotic User Experience: Behavior and Appearance by Guy Hoffman (Assistant-Professor, IDC Herzlyia) Understanding Human Internal States: I Know What You Are and What You Think by Soo-Young Lee (Professor, KAIST) The Evolutionary Origins of Human Cognitive Development: Insights from Research on Chimpanzees by Tetsuro Matsuzawa (Professor, Kyoto University) We also have 23 oral presentations, 51 poster presentations and 2 workshops. All of them present latest research results and ideas. Discussion between researchers from all over the world will be exciting.
