                                               CALL FOR PAPERS
        International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing (ABC 2019)

                                          https://abc-research.github.io/
                                                 April 26 - 29, 2019,
                          Eastern Washington University, USA
                                           in conjunction with ICIEV&IVPR2019
==============================================================

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.

CONFERENCE SCOPES

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.

- Mobile sensor-based ABC
- Environmental sensor-based ABC
