Preface

Affective information processing involves studies that attempt to give computers the humanlike capabilities of observation, interpretation, and generation of affect features. It is an important topic in human–computer interaction (HCI), because it helps improve the quality and effectiveness of human to computer communications. Words such as “affect,” “affective,” and “affection” are usually linked to humans and have rarely been used for lifeless machines. Affective information processing is quite new in HCI which considers affect features and investigates ways of capturing and processing these by computers. The computation of affective multimodal information is also known as “affective computing” and has become a very hot research topic. In 2005, we organized the first international conference on affective computing and intelligent interaction (ACII2005) in Beijing. There were 134 paper
