Personalized TV/media experiences are becoming mainstream. Recommender
systems and other personalization technology are frequently included in
television sets and second screen applications.
Current systems lack one major ability: to be empathic, to take appropriate
actions based on intentions, emotions or mood of persons in front of the TV.
This workshop has two major goals:
1. Bring together researchers and practitioners that work in the domain of
affective computing and social-aware multimedia.
2. Discuss potential contributing technologies as well as (evaluation of)
application concepts and services, and identify challenges, opportunities,
threats and strengths of these technologies in specific scenarios.
Participants are selected using a position statement and CVs.
