[Announcements] [CFP] 4th ABC Conference (Activity and Behavior Computing) Deadline June 30 2022

[Paula Lago]

 ---------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------

The 4th International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing
October 27th - 29th, 2022, London, United Kingdom (Hybrid)

Human Activity Recognition has been researched in thousands of papers so
far, with mobile / environmental sensors in ubiquitous / pervasive domains,
and with cameras in vision domains. As well, Human Behavior Analysis is
also explored for long-term health care, rehabilitation, emotion
recognition, human interaction, and so on. However, many research
challenges remain for realistic settings, such as complex and ambiguous
activities / behavior, optimal sensor combinations, (deep) machine
learning, data collection, platform systems, and killer applications.

In this conference, we comprehend such research domains as ABC: Activity
and Behavior Computing, and provide an open and a confluent place for
discussing various aspects and the future of the ABC.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We welcome 4 categories of papers: regular papers, position papers, survey
papers, and challenge papers. The submitted papers are peer reviewed by
expert researchers, and accepted based on the research quality.
Accepted papers will be included in the Smart Innovation, Systems and
Technologies series of Springer books (Indexed in ISI Proceedings,
EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Springerlink).
Selected papers will be invited to submit to the Pattern Recognition
Letters journal (5-Year Impact Factor: 2.350) and to International Journal
on Computer Vision and Signal Processing.

SCOPE
• Mobile sensor-based ABC
• Environmental sensor-based ABC
• Vision-based ABC
• Multimodal ABC
• Physical / semantic analysis of ABC
• Gait analysis
• Sleep analysis
• Emotion recognition / analysis
• ABC with deep learning
• ABC data mining
• Data collection
• ABC systems
• Interactive ABC
• Healthcare applications
• Sports applications
• Business applications
• Tools for industry
• ABC in the wild

CATEGORIES
• Regular papers: full technical contents which describe the accuracy and
performance of ABC Systems, real deployment cases or application of new
paradigms such as deep learning to ABC.
• Survey papers: new perspective or new challenges in ABC based on
literature survey. We do not welcome just compilations of existing
research, but do if it provides new research horizons.
• Challenge papers: we will provide a dataset and accept results for
activity recognition and papers describing the methods and the results.
Please see the Challenge Site (TBA) for details.
• Position papers: describe the challenges and future directions of ABC
based on problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings.
