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 </span>WS<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; ">³</span>P 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.</div> <div align=""> </div> <div align="">The workshop fosters discussions covering topics such as
(but not limited to):</div> <div align="">• Processing of
Wide Spectrum Social Signals and Wide Spectrum Emotions and Affect</div> <div align="">• Corpora of Wide
Spectrum Social Signals, Emotion and Affect</div> <div align="">• Machine Learning
Techniques for Interaction Modelling</div> <div align="">• Inclusive User
Interfaces</div> <div align="">•Targeted Social
Networks for User Groups with Special Requirements</div> <div align="">• Digital
Socio-Emotional Gaming for Empowerment and Inclusion</div> <div align="">• Case Studies and
Applications in Real-life Contexts</div> <div align="">• Long-term
Modelling of Wide Spectrum Behaviours</div> <div align="">• Data
Acquisition, Annotation, Protocols and Ethics</div> <div align="">• Impact of Social
Signal Processing in the Psycho-Pathology</div> <div align=""> </div> <div align=""> </div> <div align="">Organization:</div> <div align="">This
event is organized as a satelitte workshop of the ASE/IEEE International
