iWOAR 2017 -- Call for Papers

4th International Workshop on
Sensor-based Activity Recognition and Interaction

21-22 September 2017, Rostock - Germany

in-cooperation with ACM, SIGAI and SIGCHI
======================================================================

Ubiquitous systems are becoming an integral part of our everyday
lives. Functionality and user experience often depends on accurate,
sensor-based activity recognition and interaction. Systems aiming to
provide the user with assistance or to monitor their behavior and
condition rely heavily on sensors and the activities and interactions
that they can recognize. Providing adequate activity recognition and
interaction requires consideration for particular elements: sensors
that are capable of capturing relevant behavior, methods that reason
about sensor readings in the context of these behaviors, and
appropriate methods for assisting and interacting with the user. All
of these aspects are essential and can influence the quality and
suitability of the provided service.

Objective of iWOAR 2017 -- the 4th International Workshop on
Sensor-based Activity Recognition and Interaction -- is to discuss
these challenges and possible solution approaches. The workshop
focuses on:

1. sensors, sensor infrastructures, and sensing technologies needed to
detect user behaviors and to provide relevant interactions between
systems and users

2. data and model-driven methods for intelligent monitoring and user
assistance that supports users in everyday settings

3. novel applications and evaluation studies of methods for
intelligent monitoring of everyday user behavior and user
assistance using sensing technologies

4. intelligent methods for synthesizing assistance and interaction
strategies using sensing technologies

iWOAR 2017 aims to foster the relationship between academia and
industry. We strongly encourage industry participants to present
challenges, ideas, experiences, novel applications, and studies of
existing methods. Accepted industrial papers will be presented in an
industrial session during the workshop.
