This symposium will focus on emotions in artificial intelligence, a topic of increasing interest in many areas of research and development. We invite submissions in the form of papers or presentations reviewing recent/ongoing original work, and especially software demonstrations of different aspects of emotions in AI. Suggested topics include:

Social Simulation for Serious Games: Call for members and papers for special track at ESSA 2014
This message serves as an invitation to (1) join a Special Interest Group on Social Simulation for Serious Games (SS4SG) and (2) submit papers related to this topic to this year’s ESSA conference. We wish to bring together researchers working on both fields to a crossroads at which synergies will be created between the two areas.

Games in Libraries Day @ GLS 10 Conference
Join your fellow librarians for the first annual Games in Libraries Day, on Tuesday, June 10th in the newly renovated University of Wisconsin-Madison Memorial Union! Games in Libraries Day is a pre-conference for the Games+Learning+Society conference, the premier conference on gaming and learning. This pre-conference event will show you how using games in your library promotes learning and community building for all types of library users. The keynote, lunch, and happy hour are held in partnership with the Playful Learning Summit, a pre-conference for teachers on gaming in the classroom. Meet game-minded professionals from schools and libraries for this inaugural event!
CfP: Well-Played Summit @ DiGRA 2014
We are pleased to announce the first Well-Played Summit, a co-located event with DiGRA 2014, which will be at the Snowbird Summer Resort in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, meeting this August 3-6, 2014.
In this Well-Played Summit, we will be focusing on close readings and explorations of exceptional play created by a single game. As with the ETC Press book series (edited by Drew Davidson) and the Well Played journal, the term “well played” is being used in the Summit in two senses. First, it means “well-played” akin to “well read,” in which the speaker will elaborate and contextualize a deep analysis of the workings of a game. It can also carry a meaning akin to “well done,” in which the speaker includes advocacy for elements of a game’s design that were well designed or well developed. Presentations in the Well Played Summit will follow the same time and paper formats as DiGRA paper talks, and presenters will be encouraged to include not just screenshots of play, but video of play and, ideally, live performance of play with the game under study.
