[dbjapan] ABC2026 CFP: 行動認識やBehaviorに関する国際会議

DBJapanの皆様 行動認識やBehaviorコンピューティングに関するABC2026国際会議のCFPをお送りします。 3月9-12日に函館で、Persuasive2026と併催で行われます。 今回は函館未来大の角薫先生にGeneral Chairに加わっていただき、またDFKIのPaul Lukowiczにプログラムチェアに加わっていただきました。 タイトルだけの締め切りが、9月29日ですので、まずはタイトルを考えていただければと思います！ ABCは参加費をリーズナブルにしながら、IEEEプロシーディングスまたはOpen Accessジャーナル（IJABC）のどちらかの出版形態を選べるようになっています。 良質の査読者が多く参加しており、投稿数も毎年増え続けていております。 参考まで、ABC2025のプロシーディングスとジャーナルは以下です。 IEEE: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/11118322/proceeding IJABC: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/ijabc/2025/0/_contents/-char/en ----- Prof. Sozo Inoue, Director, Care XDX Center, Kyutech, JAPAN 井上創造 九州工業大学 生命体工学研究科教授・ケアXDXセンター長 / AUTOCARE CTO ---------- 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) https://abc-research.github.io/ (Please send an empty email to abc2026@autocare.ai<mailto:abc2026@autocare.ai> to get updates!) 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 • Sleep analysis • Emotion recognition / analysis • ABC with deep learning • ABC data mining • Data collection • ABC systems • Interactive ABC • Healthcare applications • Nursing applications • Elderly care applications • Sports applications • Business applications • Tools for industry • ABC in the wild CATEGORIES - Regular papers : full technical content papers, published in + IEEE proceedings (4-10 pages) or + J-Stage open access journal (6-15 pages). - Position papers (2-4 pages): describe the challenges and future directions of ABC based on problems that arise when systems are deployed in real settings (Not to be published). - Challenge papers: we will provide a dataset and accept results for a recognition challenge with papers describing the methods and the results.
