An important goal of pervasive computing is to integrate computer devices into users' everyday life by using information about users and their surroundings. Human emotions are one of the most crucial and attractive new sources of information for pervasive computing. Knowing the emotional state of a user may be helpful for many applications, principally when the user's information is collected by using embedded sensors in smartphones and wearable devices. Emotion detection has proved to be a complex and challenging task. The goal of the 8th International Workshop on Emotion Awareness (EmotionAware2024) is to explore the challenges of modeling, sensing, and recognizing Emotions using mobile and wearable devices - beyond traditional approaches. We are also happy to announce the following keynote: • Prof. Dr. Kristof van Laerhoven with "Overcoming Affect Recognition's Curse of Normality in the Wild" With the help of the members of the Technical Program Committee, we selected the six papers to be presented in the workshop. We are very grateful to all authors for their contributions, and we kindly welcome you to EmotionAware2024.
