Cooking is one of the most fundamental activities of humankind. It
is not only connected with the joy of eating but also deeply
affects various aspects of human life such as health, culinary
art, entertainment, and human communication. Cooking at home
requires experience and knowledge. They may also need support for
food-logging and menu planning for their family health. Needless
to say, support for a good and enjoyable meal would improve the
quality of life. Systematic cooking/eating support for elderly or
physically challenged people is also significantly important.

Since a cooking activity requires people to manipulate foods,
watch their conditions, listen to the sounds, smell the aromas,
and taste it, a cooking assistive system should also be capable of
handling multiple sensitivities. CEA has been aiming to provide
an opportunity for such research groups to discover each other,
introduce their trials, and discuss their status and where they
should go. The research community of CEA is truly interdisciplinary,
including health science, domestic science, and cultural science.
Even if we limit ourselves to computer science, there is related
work in multimedia, human-computer interaction, natural language
processing, data mining, and artificial intelligence.

As the nihth meeting of this workshop series, it aims to provide
an opportunity for such research groups to discover each other,
introduce their trials, and discuss how it should be and where
they should go.
