This workshop aims at identifying and addressing challenges posed by emotion awareness in software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Impact of affective states (emotions, moods, attitudes, personality traits) on individual and group performance, commitment and collaboration in software engineering

• The role of affect in the social programmer ecosystem

• Leveraging stakeholders’ affective feedback to improve software, tools, and processes (e.g., sentiment analysis of users’ feedback, aspect-based sentiment analysis of product reviews, etc.)

• Design, development, and evaluation of tools for supporting emotion awareness in software engineering

• Reusable software frameworks, APIs, and patterns for designing and maintaining affect-aware systems 

• Ethnographic approaches to affect monitoring in the workplace of software projects 

• Psychology of programming and modelling of affective states (e.g., psychological models of affect in software engineering, understanding the trigger behind emotions during developers’ activities, etc.)

• Affective state detection from multimodal analysis of spontaneous communicative behavior such as natural language processing, use of biometric measurements, analysis of body posture and gesture, speech analysis 

• Affect sensing from communication artifacts (e.g., message boards, issue tracking, social media) 

• Methodologies for large-scale emotion mining

• Emotion awareness in requirements engineering, software design, and software management 

• Emotion awareness in software design philosophies, development practices, and tools

• Emotion awareness in cross-cultural teams in global software development 

• Methodologies and standards
