Conference Summary

The Cyber Emotions Research Center at YeungNam University in South

As the online population grows and social interactions are

and transfers them into e-communities. The workshop aims to bring  
scholars working on related academic fields such as social sciences,  
computer and information sciences together to examine the (emerging)  
issues of feelings concerns the contemporary computer-mediated e- 
society. The workshop aims to examine the current and possible  
theoretical frameworks and investigate new approaches and techniques  
for detecting, measuring and evaluating feelings in cyberspace and the  
associated effects.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Cyber emotion
- Facial expression
- Tools for cyber emotion research
- Online communication
- Methods for detecting and measuring emotion online
We welcome papers reporting on research into any perspective of human  
emotions. We particularly welcome papers that describe and apply
