Dear Members of PC for the Empathic Special Session at IWSDS2018 ,<\/p>\n
As you know, due to to relocation of ICASSP 2018 its dates were shifted creating an overalap with our IWSDS original dates. To avoid a clash between ICASSP 2018 and iWSDS, the IWSDS committee had agreed to reschedule our workshop to 14-16 May 2018 (just after LREC) and accordingly the paper deadlines had been also shifted. <\/p>\n
This e-mail is a kind request to you, as part of our program committee for the special session IWSDS 2018, to help us to distribute the attached CFP among your students, colleagues, and distribution lists. The submission deadline is on January 14, 2018, while the paper acceptance notification is expected to be by February 18, 2018. <\/p>\n

One of the more important applications of spoken dialog systems (SDS) is the development of personal assistants for elderly. The proposed challenge is to provide personalized advice guidance through a spoken dialogue system to improve the quality of life and independency living status of the people as the age. To this end SDS has to deal not only with user goals but also implement health goals through negotiation strategies to convince the user to develop healthy habits. Such SDS has also include perceived user affective status to support the dialog manager decisions. Important related topics are, but not limited to:<\/p>\n
\u2022 affective computing in SDS
\n\u2022 user centered design
\n\u2022 policies dealing with shared user-task goals
\n\u2022 management strategies to keep the user engagement
\n\u2022 personalization and adaptation
\n\u2022 ontologies and knowledge representation
\n\u2022 privacy preserved SDS
\n\u2022 simulated dialog manager
\n\u2022 applications to assist the elderly<\/p>\n
