Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research, development, and education, at a high level and in both printed and electronic form. Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community, with numerous individuals, as well as with prestigious organizations and societies, LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science research forum available.
The scope of LNCS, including its subseries LNA1 and LNBI, spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields. The type of material published traditionally includes
proceedings (published in time for the respective conference)
post-proceedings (consisting of thoroughly revised final full papers)
research monographs (which may be based on outstanding PhD work, research projects, technical reports, etc.)
More recently, several color-cover sublines have been added featuring, beyond a collection of papers, various added-value components; these sublines include
tutorials (textbook-like monographs or collections of lectures given at advanced courses)
state-of-the-art surveys (offering complete and mediated coverage of a topic)
hot topics (introducing emergent topics to the broader community)
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Persuasive Technology, PERSUASIVE 2010, held in Copenhagen Denmark in June 2010. The 25 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. In addition three keynote papers are included in this volume. The topics covered are emotions and user experience, ambient persuasive systems, persuasive design, persuasion profiles, designing for health, psychology of persuasion, embodied and conversational agents, economic incentives, and future directions for persuasive technology.
