Abstract: This workshop examines the design and evaluation of behavioral paradigms that effectively elicit and measure proactive behavior in Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA).Current paradigms focus mainly on agent behavior.However, it remains unclear how these paradigms effectively help to elicit and measure proactive agent interactions and produce ecologically valid data, particularly for paradigms that promote the use of different modalities during interaction beyond text or speech.We invite researchers to discuss methodologies for developing tasks that not only structure agent behaviors but also provide meaningful insights into the social and cognitive processes involved in proactive interactions.
