The 5th International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing September 7th - 9th, 2023, Kaiserslautern, Germany (Hybrid)

Paper deadline: June 1st, 2023

Welcome to ABC2023!

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.

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.
  • 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.
  • Position papers: describe the challenges and future directions of ABC based on problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings.
  • Parkinson Challenge papers: We will provide a dataset and accept results for the wearing-off recognition challenge with papers describing the methods and the results. Please see the Challenge Site for details.
  • Heatstroke Prevention Challenge papers: We will provide a dataset and accept results for the Heatstroke Prevention challenge with papers describing the methods and the results. Please see the Challenge Site for details.
  • The 1st International Workshop (BTIW2023) will be held at ABC2023. For more information, please visit the SIG-BTI Site.
