interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design and development of
interactive technologies aimed at changing users’ attitudes or behaviors
through persuasion and social influence, but not through coercion or deception.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.2in"><span style="font-family:Verdana">The 10th International Conference on Persuasive

3-5, and will build on the success of previous conferences held at Padua,
Sydney, Linköping, Columbus, Copenhagen, Claremont, Oulu, Palo Alto, and
Eindhoven. Academics, students, and practitioners interested in theories,
design and applications development related to persuasion are invited to submit
their work for presentation at the conference. The language of the conference
is English.</span></p>

works that have been completed with results at the time of submission and,
regardless of the length of the paper, are self-sufficient scientific
contributions. Papers can be short (6 pages) or long (12 pages) in Springer LNCS
format, and describe work not presented, published or simultaneously submitted
elsewhere. We encourage authors to use all allotted pages for their type of
submission. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and
be devoted one timeslot (10 to 20 minutes) for oral presentation. </span></p>

descriptions of small studies/experiences, of project outlines, of works still
in progress. Authors should submit a 2-page abstract in Springer LNCS format.
Accepted posters will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings.

Doctoral Consortium is a special session of the conference where PhD students
in the early phases of their research can receive advice in a constructive and
informal atmosphere. Students present and discuss their research with other PhD
students and a panel of established researchers in the area of Persuasive
Technology. Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium
should submit a 2-page abstract in Springer LNCS format describing their research
question, its position with respect to the state of the art, their research
plans and methodology, ideas, and results achieved so far. Accepted abstracts
will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(14,14,14)">WORKSHOPS/TUTORIALS: Workshops and
tutorials are meant to gather a number of people to work interactively on a
topic and exchange ideas or to learn a specific practice; there might be short
presentations but the discussion will prevail, leading to new advances.
Approved workshops and tutorials will be announced on the website; they will
actually take place during a half-day session before the conference if a
minimum number of 8 attendees will register for them. Candidate organizers can
submit their proposal as a 2-page description format including the name of the
organizers, motivations, organization, expected outcome, list of
discussants/supporting materials. </span></p>

to demonstrate a piece of persuasive technology during the demo session so that
attendees can try and interact with it, please submit a 2-page description,
including authors, purpose of the system, status of implementation and
deployment, contents of the demo to be shown at the conference, equipment. If
you want to show a commercial product then you might be asked to pay an
