The book gives an introduction into the theory and practice of the transdisciplinary field of Character Computing, introduced by Alia El Bolock. The latest scientific findings indicate that “One size DOES NOT fit all” in terms of how to design interactive systems and predict behavior to tailor the interaction experience. Emotions are one of the essential factors that influence people’s daily experiences; they influence decision making and how different emotions are interpreted by different individuals. For example, some people may perform better under stress and others may break. Building upon Rosalind Picard’s vision, if we want computers to be genuinely intelligent and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, even to have and express emotions and how different characters perceive and react to these emotions, hence having richer and truly tailored interaction experiences. Psychological processes or personality traits are embedded in the existing fields of Affective and Personality Computing. However, this book is the first that systematically addresses this including the whole human character; namely our stable personality traits, our variable affective, cognitive and motivational states as well as our morals, beliefs and socio-cultural embedding. The book gives an introduction into the theory and practice of the transdisciplinary field of Character Computing. The emerging field leverages Computer Science and Psychology to extend technology to include the whole character of humans and thus paves the way for researchers to truly place humans at the center of any technological development. Character Computing is presented from three main perspectives: ● Profiling and sensing the character ● Leveraging characters to build ubiquitous character-aware systems ● Investigating how to extend Artificial Intelligence to create artificial characters

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the workshops co-located with the 18th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, PAAMS 2020, held in L’Aquila, Italy, in October 2020. The total of 21 full and 13 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers in this volume stem from the following meetings: Workshop on Agent-Based Artificial Markets Computational Economics (ABAM); Workshop on Agents and Edge-AI (AgEdAI); Workshop on Character Computing (C2); Workshop on MAS for Complex Networks and Social Computation (CNSC); Workshop on Decision Support, Recommendation, and Persuasion in Artificial Intelligence (DeRePAI); Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation (MAS&S); Workshop on Multi-agent based Applications for Energy Markets, Smart Grids and Sustainable Energy Systems (MASGES); Workshop on Smart Cities and Intelligent Agents (SCIA).
