The AAAC is a professional, world-wide association for researchers in Affective Computing, Emotions and Human-Machine Interaction. A PDF version of its Association Constitution can be downloaded here.
The Association for the Advancement of Affective Computing (AAAC) manages the bids and the organisation of the International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII).
The Conference series on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction is the premier international forum interdisciplinary research on the design of systems that can recognize, interpret, and simulate human emotions and related affective phenomena.
The IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing is a cross-disciplinary and international archive journal aimed at disseminating results of research on the design of systems that can recognize, interpret, and simulate human emotions and related affective phenomena. The journal publishes original research on the principles and theories explaining why and how affective factors condition interaction between humans and technology, on how affective sensing and simulation techniques can inform our understanding of human affective processes, and on the design, implementation and evaluation of systems that carefully consider affect among the factors that influence their usability.
