[Scope and Objectives]
xSIG (cross-disciplinary workshop on computing Systems, Infra-
structures, and programminG) is a workshop from 2017,
inheriting the tradition of JSPP，SACSIS，and ACSI. It solicits
contributions from a wide range of fields related to computing systems,
infrastructures, and programming, spanning all areas covered by the
sponsoring special interest groups (cross-SIG).
The main objectives of xSIG are to provide a forum to present and
discuss research ideas among researchers spanning many fields and to
raise young researchers through a globally standard peer review process.
In particular,
- We hope authors of xSIG workshop to advance their research based on
feedback received and step up to submitting their work to
international conferences and journals. We do not publish
workshop proceedings. The papers presented in xSIG will be available
only to the audience during the workshop. For those who want to
publish their work, we collaborate with IPSJ Transactions on ACS for
Special Issue on xSIG.
- We hope to give authors substantial feedback as well as a place for
young researchers to practice/improve writing papers for review,
through the globally standard conference format of submitting papers
for review, receiving/writing reviews, discussing papers in the
program committee meeting, etc. For this, we establish
Young Program Committee alongside the regular Program
Committee and welcome the participation of young researchers
including students to it, for "an early exposure" of motivated
students to peer review work normally done by senior researchers.
- We award many students.
From 2020, xSIG is co-located with SWoPP event (Summer United Workshops
on Parallel, Distributed and Cooperative Processing), in which many SIGs
on computing systems held workshops.

DBJAPANの皆様
ABC2024の看護行動ビデオからの行動認識チャレンジですが、参加申し込み締め切りが3/6です。
十分申し込みは集まっておりますが、今一度アナウンスさせていただきます。
*** Call For Challenge Participants ***
Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to participate in the 6th ABC Challenge (
https://abc-research.github.io/challenge2024) in conjunction with the 6th
International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing at Nakatsu and
Kitakyushu, Japan (Hybrid), on May 28 - 31, 2024.
The 6th ABC Challenge is the Activity Recognition of Nurse Training
Activity Using Skelton and Video Dataset with Generative AI. Activity types
are each action of Endotracheal suctioning.
https://abc-research.github.io/challenge2024/
The dataset will provide the skeleton data for training/testing and the
video data only during the training.
The skeleton data include many data which recognized only partial parts of
the body due to camera location limitations.
Participants are required to use a Generative AI or LLMs (hereafter,
Generative AI) in a creative way.
Participants are required to recognize activities based on skeletal data.
Since the data collection was a practical experiment, camera locations were
limited by not showing the face, the size of the room, etc. Therefore, it
is not possible to recognize all of the body parts, and many skeleton data
had missing body parts. Additionally, Generative AI has been a hot topic in
recent years and its momentum will continue to increase. In order to
explore the potential for use in the field of activity recognition,
participants are required to utilize Generative AIs in a creative way.
Endotracheal suctioning (ES) is a necessary practice carried out in such as
intensive care units or even in a home by the family of patients. It
involves the removal of pulmonary secretions from a patient with an
artificial airway in place. The procedure is associated with complications
and risks including bleeding, and infection. Therefore, there is a need to
develop an activity recognition system that can ensure the safety of
patients as well as reflect to improve their skills while they conduct this
complicated procedure. Activity recognition can be used to aid nurses in
better managing and increasing the quality of their work, as well as
evaluate their performance when they conduct ES. The activity recognition
is the initial stage to determine the order of actions and assess the
nurse’s skills.
CHALLENGE GOAL & TASK
The goal of this challenge is to recognize 9 activities in Endotracheal
suctioning (ES) by using skeleton data for training/testing and video only
for training. In this challenge, participants are required to use a
Generative AI in a creative way. For evaluation, we will consider the F1
score and the paper contents. We will consider the average F1 score for all
the subjects.
The data we provide is a part of the dataset used in our previous work,
entitled “Toward Recognizing Nursing Activity in Endotracheal Suctioning
Using Video-based Pose Estimation” [1]. The authors of this work proposed
an algorithm to define and track the main subject. Also, missing keypoints
problems due to the performance of the pose estimation algorithm are
improved by smoothing keypoints.

Inoue: “Toward Recognizing Nursing Activity in Endotracheal Suctioning
Using Video-based Pose Estimation”, The 5th International Conference on
Activity and Behavior Computing, 2023, (Germany).
DATASET OVERVIEW
There are two types of data in this dataset:
Video: recorded from the front side of the nurse beyond the patient
mannequin. This video will be published only during training.
Pose Skeleton (keypoints): extracted from videos by using YOLOv7. This data
will be published for training and testing.
There are a total of 9 activities in the ES procedure. All the activities
are listed in the below table.
9 Activity types in endotracheal suctioning and their id are below,
{ 0: “Catheter preparation”, 1: “Temporal removement of an artificial
airway”, 2: “Suctioning phlegm”, 3: “Refitting the artificial airway”, 4:
“Catheter disinfection”, 5: “Discarding gloves”, 6: “Positioning”, 7:
“Auscultation”, 8: “Others” }
