=======================================================

We are calling for papers to be presented at ACII 2021, the 9th
International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent
Interaction. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore
(conditional to the approval by IEEE Computer Society) and indexed by EI. A
selection of the best articles at ACII2021 will be invited to submit
extended versions to IEEE’s Transactions on Affective Computing. These will
be published in a “Best of ACII” special section of this premier journal.
