                                               CALL FOR PAPERS
        International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing (ABC 2020)

                                          https://abc-research.github.io/
                               Jun. 22nd - 25th, 2020, Kitakyushu, Japan
                                   In conjunction with ICIEV&IVPR2020
==============================================================


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 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.
Accepted papers will be included in Springer Books (TBD, IEEE Xplore and SCOPUS
indexed). 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.

CATEGORIES
- 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.
- Position papers: describe the challenges and future directions of ABC based on
  problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings.
- 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.
- Challenge papers: TBA, we will provide a dataset and accept results for activity recognition
   and papers describing the methods and the results.
