Since thursday, I have been attending the second « Affective Computing & Intelligent Interaction » in Amsterdam. Generally speaking I was quite impressed by the quality of the research, even if the conclusion often went along the lines of « things are complex, it's difficult ». On a lighter note, the venue was great and everything went smoothly, even if the food and timing were less impressive (keynotes at 8 something in the morning and a conference finishing late on Saturday are tough!)
As far as I am concerned, the last session (« Guidelines for Affective Signal Processing: From Lab to Life ») was the most interesting but many other papers are well worth checking out. A few things that caught my attention are Rana el Kaliouby's emotion recognition system for children with autism spectrum disorders, Dimitry Tseterukou's affective haptics, Elisabeth Eichhorn's Recording Inner Life prototype, Jennifer Robison's paper on the consequences of affective feedback (she got a well-deserved best paper award).
A few of my colleagues from Delft also presented their work: Valentijn Visch had a paper on attribution of emotion by observers based on basic movement parameters and Miguel Bruns Alonso presented the last prototype that came out of his work on tangible interaction and stress reduction.
I don't know if the proceedings are online yet but in the mean time you can check out the conference website and contact the authors directly, most of them are really happy to send out copies of their article when asked.
