CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on Human Activity Sensing Corpus and its Application(HASCA2015)
September 8th, 2015
Osaka, JAPANhttp://hasca2015.hasc.jp
Held in conjunction with UbiComp2015,
The 2015 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 enable the next-generation humanoriented computing. To enable the real-world
application by these kinds of wearable sensors, alarge scale human activity corpus might play animportant role. Additionally, we have now a lot ofhigh-performance mobile devices in real-worldsuch as smart-phones. It is a great challenge toutilize such enormous number of wearable sensors
to collect large-scale activity corpus. In recentyears, there are several on-going projects which
are collecting human activities. Following on ahuge success of last year’s workshop, we arefurther planning to share these experiences ofcurrent research on human activity corpus and its
applications among the researchers and thepractitioners and to have a deep discussion for
future of activity sensing.
