Influenced by areas such as classic rhetoric, social psychology and ubiquitous computing, researchers in this field are typically designing applications for domains such as health, business, safety, and education. The 7th International Conference on Persuasive Technology (Persuasive 2012) will build on the successful prior conferences held at Eindhoven, Stanford, Oulu, Copenhagen, Claremont, and Columbus. The conference will feature the latest insights into how mobile and internet-based applications such as mobile games and social networking sites can be designed to influence behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The conference is expected to gather researchers, practitioners, and students who are interested in networking, presenting, discussing and reflecting on central themes associated with persuasive computing and design. Conference themes The general theme of Persuasive 2012 – Design for health and safety – sets a special focus on current societal challenges. Themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: - Behavior change systems for healthy living - Lifestyles management technologies - Eco/Green persuasive technologies - Persuasive design for personal safety - Mass persuasion and safety - Smart environments and augmented reality for behavior change - Mobile and ubiquitous persuasion - Motivational technology - Design for education and learning - Robotics and persuasion - Security and privacy - Persuasive design and innovation - Methods, metrics and measurements in persuasive technology - Social and organizational issues - Theoretical foundations of persuasion - Ethics of persuasive technology - e-Interventions for addictions - Evaluation of persuasive technology - Persuasive Technologies in inclusive ICT - Business models for persuasive systems Formats and submission We accept submissions as full papers or posters.
