Second International Workshop on Emotion Awareness in Software Engineering (SEmotion 2017)

May 21, 2017,Buenos Aires, Argentina

Call for Papers :

Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects, i.e. the experience of feelings or emotions. Over the past decade, research has shown the impact of affective states on work performance and on team collaboration. This also applies for software engineering that involves people in a broad range of activities, where personality, moods, and emotions play a crucial role. For successful software engineering projects, stakeholders need to experience positive affect (such as trust or appreciation), to agree on display rules for emotions, and to hold mutual commitment to the project goals.

Topics of Interest :

• Impact of affective states (emotions, moods, attitudes, personality traits) on individual and group performance, commitment and collaboration in software engineering
• The role of affect in the social programmer ecosystem
• Leveraging stakeholders’ affective feedback to improve software, tools, and processes (e.g., sentiment analysis of users’ feedback, aspect-based sentiment analysis of product reviews, etc.)
• Design, development, and evaluation of tools for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering
• Reusable software frameworks, APIs, and patterns for designing and maintaining affect-aware systems
• Ethnographic approaches to affect monitoring in the workplace of software projects
• Psychology of programming and modelling of affective states (e.g., psychological models of affect in software engineering, understanding the trigger behind emotions during developers’ activities, etc.)
• Affective state detection from multimodal analysis of spontaneous communicative behavior such as natural language processing, use of biometric measurements, analysis of body posture and gesture, speech analysis
• Affect sensing from communication artifacts (e.g., message boards, issue tracking, social media)
• Methodologies for large-scale emotion mining
• Emotion awareness in requirements engineering, software design, and software management
• Emotion awareness in software design philosophies, development practices, and tools
• Emotion awareness in cross-cultural teams in global software development
• Methodologies and standards

Important Dates

• Paper submissions due: January 20, 2017
• Notification to authors: February 17, 2017
• Camera-ready copies due: February 27, 2017
