CALL FOR PAPERS
Minitrack: Human – Conversational Agent Interaction
Track: Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Applications (SIG AIAA)
AMCIS 2023, Panama City, Panama, August 10-12, 2023 (https://amcis2023.aisconferences.org/)

**Minitrack description**
Conversational agents (CAs) that use natural language to interact with humans are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives. They are utilized in a number of contexts, such as for customer service or as personal assistants. CAs take on different designs, forms of embodiment, and communication modes. Despite their popularity, many CAs are unable to achieve their objectives and to create positive user experiences. The minitrack aims to improve understanding of how CAs can be designed to fulfil their intended purpose, and interact harmoniously with humans. The scope is to discuss and disseminate state-of-the-art research pertaining to interactions between humans and CAs, across application areas and research paradigms.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

  *   User characteristics and adaptive CA designs
  *   CAs for individuals and groups
  *   Impacts of CA embodiment
  *   Character and personality design
  *   Agents for different domains
  *   Ethical implications of CA design and interaction

Important dates:

  *   Jan 6, 2023: Manuscript submission opens
  *   Mar 1, 2023: Submissions are due at 10 am EST
