th Welcome to the proceedings of the 10 International Conference on
Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA), held 20-22 September, 2010 in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Intelligent Virtual Agents are
interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities and
communicate with humans or with each other using natural human
modalities such as behavior, gesture, and speech. IVAs are capable
of real-time perception, cognition, and action that allow them to
participate in a dynamic physical and social environment. IVA 2010
is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main forum for
prese- ing research on modeling, developing, and evaluating
Intelligent Virtual Agents with a focus on communicative abilities
and social behavior. The development of IVAs - quires expertise in
multimodal interaction and several AI fields such as cognitive
modeling, planning, vision, and natural language processing.
Computational models are typically based on experimental studies
and theories of human-human and hum- robot interaction; conversely,
IVA technology may provide interesting lessons for these fields.
Visualizations of IVAs require computer graphics and animation te-
niques, and in turn supply significant realism problem domains for
these fields. The realization of engaging IVAs is a challenging
task, so reusable modules and tools are of great value. The fields
of application range from robot assistants, social simulation, and
tutoring to games and artistic exploration. The enormous challenges
and diversity of possible applications of IVAs have - sulted in an
established annual conference.
