SOcial and Cultural IntegrAtion with PersonaLIZEd Interfaces (SOCIALIZE)

This is the first edition of the SOcial and Cultural IntegrAtion with PersonaLIZEd Interfaces (SOCIALIZE) workshop. The main goal is to bring together all those interested in the development of interactive techniques that may contribute to foster the social and cultural inclusion of a broad range of users. More specifically, we intend to attract research that takes into account the interaction peculiarities typical of different realities, with a focus on disadvantaged and at-risk categories (e.g., refugees and migrants) and vulnerable groups (e.g., children, elderly, autistic and disabled people). Among others, we are also interested in human-robot interaction techniques aimed at the development of social robots, that is, autonomous robots that interact with people by engaging in social-affective behaviors, abilities, and rules related to their collaborative role.
