---------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------<br><br>The 4th International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing<br>October 27th - 29th, 2022, London, United Kingdom (Hybrid)<br><a href="https://abc-research.github.io/">https://abc-research.github.io/</a><br><br>Trailer video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZTN9A3guhQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZTN9A3guhQ</a><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br>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.<br>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).<br>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.<br><br>SCOPE<br>• Mobile sensor-based ABC<br>• Environmental sensor-based ABC<br>• Vision-based ABC<br>• Multimodal ABC<br>• Physical / semantic analysis of ABC<br>• Gait analysis<br>• Sleep analysis<br>• Emotion recognition / analysis<br>• ABC with deep learning<br>• ABC data mining<br>• Data collection<br>• ABC systems<br>• Interactive ABC<br>• Healthcare applications<br>• Sports applications<br>• Business applications<br>• Tools for industry<br>• ABC in the wild<br><br>CATEGORIES<br>• 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.<br>• 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.<br>• 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.<br>• Position papers: describe the challenges and future directions of ABC based on problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings.<br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>[Regular/Survey/Position] Paper submission: June 30th, 2022<br>Review result: August 1st, 2022<br>Resubmission for conditionally accepted paper: August 15th, 2022<br>[Challenge] Application close: July 15th, 2022<br>[Challenge] Result submission: August 1st, 2022<br>[Challenge] Paper submission: August 10th, 2022<br>[Challenge] Review result: August 25th, 2022<br>[Regular/Survey/Position/Challenge] Camera ready and Registration: August 28th, 2022<br>Conference: Oct. 27th - 29th, 2022<br><br>COMMITTEE<br><br>GENERAL CHAIRS<br>- Sozo Inoue, Kyushu Institute of Technology / AUTOCARE LLC, Japan<br>- Atiqur Rahman Ahad, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh<br><br>PROGRAM CHAIRS<br>- Stephan Sigg, Aalto University, Finland<br>- Guillaume Lopez, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan<br><br>PUBLICITY CHAIRS <br>- Paula Lago, Concordia University, Canada<br>- Anja Exler, Adastra, Germany<br><br>PUBLICATION CHAIR<br>- Tahera Hossain, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan<br><br>ADVISORY BOARD<br>- Paul Lukowicz, DFKI, Germany<br>- Kristof Van Laerhoven, University of Siegen, Germany<br>- Michael Beigl, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany<br>- Jeffry Cohn, University of Pittsburgh, USA<br>- Anind Dey, University of Washinton, USA<br>- Nobuo Kawaguchi, Nagoya University, Japan<br><br>----------------------------------
