There has been gathering momentum over the last 10 years in the study of group behavior in multimodal multiparty interactions. While many works in the computer science community focus on the analysis of individual or dyadic interactions, we believe that the study of groups adds an additional layer of complexity with respect to how humans cooperate and what outcomes can be achieved in these settings. Moreover, the development of technologies that can help to interpret and enhance group behaviours dynamically is still an emerging field. Social theories that accompany the study of groups dynamics are in their infancy and there is a need for more interdisciplinary dialogue between computer scientists and social scientists on this topic. This workshop has been organised to facilitate those discussions and strengthen the bonds between these overlapping research communities
