[WORKSHOP] International Workshop on Voice and Speech Processing in 
Social Interactions, Glasgow (Scotland), 18-19 April 2011.

Voice and speech play a fundamental role in social interactions, but 
they have been relatively neglected compared to other aspects of  social 
exchanges such as, e.g., facial expressions or gestures, and  have been 
studied by scientists from different communities. This  workshop aims to 
bridge this gap by gathering researchers from  neuroscience, psychology 
and computing science, to share the latest  findings on social aspects 
of voice and speech and to identify the  most important issues still 
open in the domain.

*Abstract submission  before March 15th, 2011*
