This year's workshop designates Spoken Dialogue Systems as a potential application for mathematical modeling. We would also like to encourage the discussion of common issues of theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, general tools and techniques. Discussion papers that critically evaluate approaches or processing strategies and prototype demonstrations are especially welcome.

We invite you to submit original papers in any related area, including but not limited to:

• Automatic speech recognition
• Recognition of emotions from speech
• User modelling
• User capability detection
• Automatic utterance classification
• Learning and adaptability
• Databases and corpora
• Evaluation strategies and paradigms
• Prototypes and products
• Information Processing Systems
• Data Mining
• Decision Support Systems
