Meeting Description:

This workshop focuses on language resources, analysis, and applications in
real-life conversational interactions. Collecting and researching
conversational corpora have mainly targeted conversations in experimental
settings, such as map task dialogs, and artificial situations, such as chats
among university students recruited for recording. Conversations in our daily
life, however, differ from those conversations in the following aspects.

Socially-motivated activity: Everyday conversations are conducted as part of
socially-motivated activities, such as having dinner with family or
negotiating with a client. These activities are organized by participants
themselves, as opposed to experimenters, in locally situated ways.

Multi activity: In daily life, people often engage in conversations while
conducting some non-conversational activities, such as eating, cooking, and
driving. In these situations, they simultaneously organize multi-activities in
tactical ways: they are not just talking.

Situated use of language and body: In face-to-face everyday interaction, not
only verbal but also non-verbal behaviors, such as eye-gazes and gestures,
play a significant role. People coordinate these verbal and non-verbal
resources to fit the context of situation.

Fluid participation framework: While the number of participants and
participation roles in experimental/artificial settings are usually fixed,
participants in everyday conversations sometimes get in and out of a
conversation, and may split into two or more sub groups. Thus, participation
frameworks are often dynamically reconfigured.

Temporal and spatial unboundedness: In daily situations, there may not be a
strict boundary of a conversation; the opening and closing of a conversation
can be continuous with preceding and succeeding activities. Similarly, in the
spatial dimension, a conversation in a public space may involve people in the
surrounding area as the conversation unfolds.


Call for Papers:

This workshop will provide a focal point for the growing research community on
real-life conversational interaction. We invite submissions on all aspects of
scientific and technological research on this theme.

Topics include but are not limited to:

State-of-the-art corpora of conversation in daily life
Situated use of language and body in real-life interaction
Management of multiple actions through multi-modality
Reorganization of participants and participation frameworks
Methodologies for recording and analyzing temporally/spatially unbounded
conversations
