Abstract
Among the many possibilities of automation enabled by multi-sensor environments -- several of which are discussed in this Handbook - - one particularly relevant is the analysis of social interaction in the workplace, and more specifically, of conversational group interaction. Group conversations are ubiquitous, and represent a fundamental means through which ideas are discussed, progress is reported, and knowledge is created and disseminated.
