SEmotion '17 - Second International Workshop on Emotion Awareness in Software Engineering

Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects, i.e. the experience of feelings or emotions. Over the past decade, research has shown the impact of affective states on work performance and on team collaboration. This also applies for software engineering that involves people in a broad range of activities, where personality, moods, and emotions play a crucial role. For successful software engineering projects, stakeholders need to experience positive affect (such as trust or appreciation), to agree on display rules for emotions, and to hold mutual commitment to the project goals.

This workshop follows-up the first edition held at ICSE 2016, towards the consolidation of an international, sustainable forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the role of affect in software engineering to meet, present, and discuss their work-in-progress.

We offer a selection of high-quality contributions about empirical studies, theoretical models, as well as tools for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering both from academia and industry. The list of accepted papers can be accessed here: goo.gl/W4t4pD

Authors of distinguished papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the special issue on ‘Affect Awareness in Software Engineering’ of the Journal of Systems and Software. The call for papers can be downloaded from: goo.gl/Do3aUn
