***Call for Papers***
TheoriseHAI: 1st Workshop on Shaping Human-Agent Interactions Through Interdisciplinary Theories
Hosted at the 12th International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction (HAI), 2024, 24-27 November, Swansea, United Kingdom
Conference website: https://hai-conference.net/hai2024/

**Workshop Focus**
The TheoriseHAI workshop will explore psychological and cognitive aspects of HAI, exploring how human behaviour and mental models influence and are influenced by interactions with agents. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various fields to explore both established and new theories, design principles, and behavioural insights that underpin effective human-agent interactions.
Mainly we will explore:
-- Old theories in present research: how classic theories find realisation in modern research and development practices
-- New theories and modern approaches: how new theories provide new horizons of research and potentially new applications of agents
-- Facilitate Interdisciplinary exchange: how researchers with different backgrounds can develop productive intersections
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-- Human-Agent Interaction (HAI) and its effects on human behaviour
-- Design principles for effective human-agent interaction
-- Proxemics Theory
-- Dialogue Theory
-- Activity Theory
-- Collective Intentionality
-- Theory of Mind
-- Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) models
-- Cyborg Theory
-- More-than-human interaction
-- Ecology/Technology
