Sensors Journal - Special Issue: Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Interaction
=====================================================================================================================


Ubiquitous systems are becoming an integral part of our everyday lives. Functionality and user experience often depend on accurate sensor-based activity recognition and interaction. Systems aiming to provide users with assistance or to monitor their behavior and condition rely heavily on sensors and the activities and interactions that they can recognize. The provision of adequate activity recognition and interaction requires consideration of various interlocked aspects, such as sensors that are capable of capturing relevant behavior, rigorous methods for reasoning based on sensor readings in the context of these behaviors, and effective approaches for assisting and interacting with users. Each of these aspects is essential, and can influence the quality and suitability of the provided service.

We are soliciting original submissions that contribute novel computer science methods, innovative software solutions, and cases of compelling use in any of the following topics:

   - Sensors, sensor infrastructures, and sensing technologies needed to detect user behaviors and to provide relevant interactions between systems and users;
   - Data- and model-driven methods for intelligent monitoring and user assistance that supports users in everyday settings;
   - Novel applications and evaluation studies of methods for intelligent monitoring of everyday user behavior and user assistance using sensing technologies;
   - Intelligent methods for synthesizing assistance and interaction strategies using sensing technologies.


Important Dates

Submission Deadline: February 28, 2020

Submission Guidelines
-------------------------------
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com. Once you are registered, go to the submission form (https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=sensors). Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/instructions). Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs).
