First International Workshop on Wide Spectrum Social Signal Processing (WS³P2012)
A large part of users of Social Computing and Social Signal Processing technology have special needs owing to their special mental conditions such as Autism Spectral Condition or physical limitations. At the same time, Social Computing offers great potential in particular for these users: Many target groups show high affinity to technical systems and practically all of these can be assumed to benefit from social networks and social and affective technical solutions tailored to their needs. As a consequence, there has been a growing interest within the computing community in becoming more engaged in social sciences and more particularly in psychopathologies such as Autism. The WS³P 2012 workshop aims to gather researchers and practitioners in the field of Social Computing, Social Signal Processing, Social Robotics and Psychopathology. Joint research across these communities will have a major impact on methodologies, problems and issues related to users with development or abilities on a wide spectrum.

Tool of the day

AffectButton

http://emotion-research.net/toolbox/button.bmp/image
The AffectButton is a standard Java interface component for emotion (actually, pleasure, arousal, dominance) feedback. It is interactive, easy to use and embed in your code, and our research up until now shows that people can indeed use the button and that it produces valid and reliable feedback. Of course more evaluation is needed and planned, but you can try out the button yourself on our websit...
