Lola D. Canamero  According to some theories, emotions come into
play as soon as we consider individuals in interaction with
their social environment. For some researchers, emotions are at
the very heart of what being social means. In the last years,
the AI community has echoed the importance of emotions in social
interactions in a growing number of applications: expressive and
social robots, animated and storytelling characters with
"feelings", expressive interfaces, systems for human-computer
emotional interaction, etc. This symposium proposes a multi-
disciplinary framework where researchers can exchange ideas and
reflect on the motivations, scientific grounds, and practical
consequences of these efforts.
