日本データベース学会の皆様 京都産業大学の中島伸介です 今年のWorkshop on Smart Technology for Cooking and Eating Activities : CEA2014 は，UbiComp2014@Seattleで開催されることが決定いたしました． http://www.mm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2014/ 締切は5月19日と，まだ1ヶ月ありますので，ぜひとも発表をご検討いただければ幸いです． なお，開催日は9月14日です． 是非とも論文のご投稿をご検討下さい． _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_ Call for Papers _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_ Ubicomp 2014 Workshop on Smart Technology for Cooking and Eating Activities (CEA2014) Seattle, WA, US, September 14, 2014 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Cooking is one of the most fundamental activities of humankind. It is strongly related to social interactions. 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 people cook by manipulating foods, watching their conditions, listening to the sounds, smelling the aromas, and tasting it, a cooking support system also requires multiple sensing capabilities. Thanks to modern technology, the traditional kitchen is becoming more intelligent. Recently, home appliances such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, and cooking stoves, are equipped with multiple sensing devices and a computing processor. Some may even have additional devices such as a camera, a microphone, and a RF-ID tag reader built in. Reflecting this trend, researches on supporting cooking and eating activities have started throughout the world individually. 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 are related works in multimedia, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. At this year's meeting, CEA plans to organize a workshop in conjunction with UbiComp2014 to have a discussion from the viewpoint of ubiquitous and pervasive computing system, among other perspectives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Relevant Topics: - Application for cooking and eating support - Cooking archiving and recognition - Learning contents creation for cooking - Analysis of cooking video - Recipe image / video retrieval - Analysis and utilization of cooking recipes - Menu planning, dietary management, and food logging - Artificial agent for cooking/eating activity - Sensing of taste / smell / texture - Social interactions - Ubiquitous environment and interface in kitchen - Intelligent home appliance - Cooking navigation interface for the dementia and physically challenged person support - Multimedia learning contents for dietary - Multimedia information service for food safety and security - Analysis of Web contents on cooking and eating activities - Case-based reasoning for cooking and eating activities - AI technologies applied for cooking and eating activities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Important dates - Paper submission deadline: May 19, 2014 - Notification of acceptance: June 20, 2014 - Camera ready deadline: July 3, 2014 - Workshop date: One day during September 13-14, 2014 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Instructions for Author The accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2014 adjunct proceedings and included into ACM digital library. All submitted paper must be in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format according to the following; [Template] - Microsoft Word: http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-extended-abstracts-word... - LaTeX: http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-extended-abstracts-late... A paper is required to be within 10 pages. The papers are reviewed in single-blind manner, so you do not need to hide your identity. We also encourage the authors to follow the 'Accessibility' section in main conference web site (but not mandatory). http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2014/calls/papers-and-notes.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Review criteria & process Regular session: Each paper submission will be reviewed by more than two experts. Submissions are reviewed based on: - Originality of the content - Quality of the content - Relevance to the theme - Clarity of the written presentation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * CwC Showcase: In this workshop, we invite the organizers of the past Cooking with Computers (CwC) workshop and organize a special demo session within the proposed CEA workshop named as the "CwC Showcase". CwC has been aiming at gathering researchers from a broad range of research topics within the AI field. The main objective of CwC is to show how existing approaches in AI could be used to solve problems in cooking. The CwC Showcase co-chairs will invite demonstrations according to their criteria. At the proposed workshop, we intend that CEA and CwC communities meet people from broader areas, and opens up the possibility for new collaborations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Organizing Committee General chair Kiyoharu Aizawa (The Univ. of Tokyo, JP) Organizing chair Yoko Yamakata (Kyoto Univ., JP) Program chair Takuya Funatomi (Kyoto Univ., JP) CwC Showcase (special demo session) co-chairs Amelie Cordier (LIRIS, CNRS, FR) Emmanuel Nauer (LORIA, Univ. of Lorraine, FR) Publicity co-chairs Yoshihiro Kawahara (The Univ. of Tokyo, JP) Shinsuke Nakajima (Kyoto Sangyo Univ., JP) Advisory co-chairs Mutsuo Sano (Osaka Institute of Technology, JP) Ichiro Ide (Nagoya Univ., JP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Contact To reach the organizers: cea2014@mm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp Workshop homepage: http://www.mm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2014/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Past activities - CEA2013 at ACMMM2013 http://www.mm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2013/ - CEA2012 at ACMMM2012 http://www.ccm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2012/ - CEA2011 at ISM2011 http://www.ccm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2011/ - CEA2010 at ISM2010 http://www.ccm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2010/ - CEA2009 at ACMMM2009 http://www.ccm.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CEA2009/ -- ∵‥∴‥∵∴‥∵‥∴∵‥∴‥∵∴‥∵‥∴ 中島 伸介 Shinsuke NAKAJIMA 〒603-8555 京都市北区上賀茂本山 京都産業大学 コンピュータ理工学部 E-mail: nakajima@cse.kyoto-su.ac.jp ∵‥∴‥∵∴‥∵‥∴∵‥∴‥∵∴‥∵‥∴
