EAICN 2022 : Special Issue: Emotional AI and its Applications in Communications Networks

Dear Colleagues,

Emotional AI (EAI) continues to demonstrate increasing utility in various applications. In the context of communications networks, EAI is showing great potential in automating quality of experience (QoE) measurements and enriching mixed-reality communications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to capture the state of EAI in the context of communication networks. This spans research and commercial efforts as well as standardization. It also includes emotional sensing setups, processing, and representation.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Affect discretization and modeling
Affect emulation
Affect synthesis
Affective sensing for crowds
Applications of affective sensing in
AR/VR communications
Connected vehicles
Crowd control and management
Education
eHealth
Network management
Smart cities
AI/ML applications in affective sensing
Architectures for affective sensing
Fusion in multi-modal sensing techniques
Generating affective sensing datasets
Qualifying affective sensing solutions
