Topics include:
Design, Modelling and Evaluation of IVAs
- design criteria and design methodologies
- evaluation methodologies and user studies
- ethical considerations and social impact
- applicable lessons from other fields (e.g. robotics)
- improvisational or dramatic interaction
- dimensions of intelligence, cognition and behaviour
- models of multimodal perception and action
- models of emotionally communicative behaviour
- models of conversational behaviour
- design of virtual actors
- Other (non cognition-inspired) conceptual frameworks and models for IVAs
Implementation and Applications of IVAs
- software engineering issues
- real-time integrated systems
- portability and reuse
- standards / measures to support interoperability
- specialized tools, toolkits and tool chains
- specialized modelling and animation technologies
- applications in games, education, art, etc.
- delivery platforms: desktop, single vs. multi-user, virtual or augmented or mixed reality, robots
- future or current experience in various fields, e.g.: Interactive narrative and story-telling, computer games, art and entertainment, education and training, simulation and visualization
Special Topic: IVAs and Cognition: Conceptual Frameworks and Models
- selecting a 'good' cognitive model for agents (theoretical foundations, formal models for virtual agents and proofs of concept)
- stages of autonomy (from avatars to agents)
- cognitive models for perception and/or behaviour generation
- simulations of groups and crowds (crowd behaviours, action-perception loops in crowds)
- learning and adapting IVAs (learned, evolved or emergent knowledge and/or behaviour)
- long-term management of IVA goals
- drives, motivations, action selection systems for IVAs
- socially and culturally competent IVAs
- personality and emotion models for IVAs
- Theory of Mind models for IVAs
- evaluation approaches for IVAs with embedded cognitive models
