                    The 4th International Conference on Activity and
                    Behavior Computing<br>
                    October 27th - 29th, 2022, London, United Kingdom

                    <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>

                    • 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>
