The organising committee of the 12th international conference on
Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA 2012) invites workshop proposals for the
upcoming conference to be held at the University of California at Santa
Cruz.
The workshops are intended to facilitate active exchange, interaction and
comparison of approaches, methods and late breaking results that are
relevant to intelligent virtual agents.
The workshops should facilitate a forum for participants to showcase their
research work and initiate open discussions for topics and issues of the
current interest. Proposals promoting exploration and discovery of new
research areas and application fields of intelligent virtual agents are
also highly welcomed.
A selection of best papers of the workshops will be invited to submit to a
special issue of the Springer Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (
http://www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/12193).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Organisation

The workshop organisers will be responsible for forming the workshop
programme committee, advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting
papers. The duration of workshops may be full-day or half-day. The workshop
organisers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers.

During the workshop, we expect the workshop organisers to actively engage
with the audience and speakers to foster discussion and exchange of ideas
by including mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations.
We encourage also workshop organisers to elect a best paper award for their
workshop.
