Special Session 2: Analysis, Evaluation, and Usage of Web Information, System Behaviors, and Human Actions
Purpose:
Advance of information and communication technologies has been brought tremendous benefits to us. Various kinds of information are available on the Web and the amount of data is growing very rapidly. It becomes very difficult to manage such data for computer systems and human beings. This special session focuses on information, systems, and humans on the web. It aims to clarify the relations and interactions among them through analysis and evaluation, and to find better system behaviors and human actions for increasing the benefits of web information.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Internet Applications & Performances
– Information Retrieval and Recommendation
– Multimedia Data Analysis and Processing
– Affective Computing
– Positive Computing
– Emotional and Facial Expressions
– Database and Data Warehousing Systems
– Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

Special Session 3: Wellbeing and Affective Engineering
Purpose:
Advances of information and communication technologies have brought tremendous benefits to us. These benefits include improvement of the way of life. Information and communication technologies may help us to live more comfortably and more happily. Affective engineering, which is the engineering using affective information, may bring the state of wellbeing to human beings.
This special session treats all aspects on wellbeing and affective engineering, which include clarifying the principle of wellbeing induced by affective engineering, realizing wellbeing state, clarifying the effect of wellbeing, and broadening the applications of wellbeing.
This special session encourages participants to discuss about their research results, to exchange ideas, and to promote researches on wellbeing and affective engineering.
