-------

We invite you to submit your papers to the Activity and Behavior Computing Conference to be held in April 26 - 29 2019 in Eastern Washington University, WA, USA In conjunction with ICIEV&IVPR2019

===== CALL FOR PAPERS ======

Submissions due:  December 17, 2018

Conference website: https://abc-research.github.io/

Notification:   January 31, 2019


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.

We welcome full technical papers, as well as concept papers related to ABC research. Technical papers describe the accuracy and performance of ABC Systems, real deployment cases or application of new paradigms such as deep learning to ABC. Concept papers describe the challenges and future directions of ABC based on problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings.

The submitted papers are peer reviewed by experienced researchers, and accepted based on the research quality. To accept various research stages, an accepted paper can be either published in IEEE proceedings + USB, Open web + USB, or USB only upon authors' preference.
