---------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------
The 8th International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing
(IEEE Technically Co-sponsored)
(In conjunction with Persuasive Technology 2026)
Mar. 9 - 12 , 2026, Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan (Hybrid)

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.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We welcome 3 categories of papers: regular papers, position papers, and challenge papers. The submitted papers are peer reviewed by expert researchers, and accepted based on the research quality.
Accepted and presented papers will be published as IEEE Proceedings or a J-Stage open access journal.
SCOPE
• Mobile sensor-based ABC
• Environmental sensor-based ABC
• Vision-based ABC
• Multimodal ABC
• Physical / semantic analysis of ABC
• Gait analysis

CALL FOR PAPERS /
The 1st Workshop on New Generation Databases and Data-Empowering Technologies in Big Data Era (D2ET)
in conjunction with IEEE BigData 2025 (Dec.8th to 11th, Macau, China)
Please search with workshop name or search from IEEE BigData 2025 site.
In the era of big data, vast and diverse data are stored and managed across various locations in the real world. These fragmented and isolated repositories, so-called “data islands,” significantly diminish the utility of data. To fully realize the potential of big data, it is essential to eliminate such data islands and promote integration. This workshop seeks to explore new directions in database research aimed at enhancing the value and usability of big data. This workshop is jointly organized by the A3 Foresight Program “New Generation Databases and Data-Empowering Technologies” supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), and National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
Research topics included in the workshop (list a number of interesting topics or areas covered by workshop)
Applications for new-generation database systems
Cross-domain data management
Data cleaning and preparation
Data mining and data analysis in big data era
Data transformation mechanisms
Distributed query processing
Elimination of data islands techniques
Multi-node computing architectures
New-generation database systems in big data era
Novel algorithmic and statistical techniques for big data
Parallel and distributed data science
Privacy-preserved databases
Query optimization techniques
Secure computation in databases

Not limited to the above. Any research papers related to databases in big data era are welcome.
Important Dates:
Oct 19 2025 23:59 AoE: Due date for full workshop papers submission
Nov 9 2025: Notification of paper acceptance to authors
Nov 23 2025: Camera-ready of accepted papers
