CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline extended!)
2nd International Workshop on Human Activity Sensing Corpus and its Application(HASCA2014)
September 13th, 2014
Seattle, US
http://hasca2014.hasc.jp
Held in conjunction with UbiComp2014,
The 2014 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing
Scope and Aims

Recent advancement of technology enables
installations of small sized accelerometers or
gyroscopes on various kinds of wearable/portable
information devices. By using such wearable
sensors, these devices can estimate its posture orstatus. However, most of current devices only
utilize these sensors for simple orientation andgesture recognition. More deep understandings
and recognition of human activity through thesesensors
will
enablethenext-generation
human-oriented computing. To enable thereal-world application by these kinds of wearable
sensors, a large scale human activity corpus mightplay an important role. Additionally, we have now
a lot of high-performance mobile devices inreal-world such as smart-phones. It is a greatchallenge to utilize such enormous number ofwearable sensors to collect large-scale activity
corpus. In recent years, there are several on-goingprojects which are collecting human activities.
Following on a huge success of last year’s
workshop, we are further planning to share theseexperiences of current research on human activity
corpus and its applications among the researchers
and the practitioners and to have a deep
discussion for future of activity sensing.
