Venue
The conference activities will be held in Musubiwaza-kan of
Kyoto Sangyo University, located in Kyoto, Japan.
Kyoto is one of the best cities for sightseeing, because thishistorical city has many temples and buildings. As examples ofthem, Nijo Castle (Nijo-jo) and Nishi Hongan-ji are near fromthe venue, and they are parts of “Historic Monuments ofAncient Kyoto”, a world heritage. The venue is also near from
Kyoto station, and JR Tanbaguchi station, so it is easy to comeand move to other places.

Purpose of ConferenceThis fifth edition of the conference aims to bring many
important research streams together: Biometrics and Kansei
Engineering. Image Analysis and Biometrics applications inboth behavioral and physiological categories compriseresearches in Information Processing Systems and Human
Biology, Behavior and people Emotion Measuring Techniques
for Identification and Recognition of either their personality ofemotional state. Therefore, researchers are encouraged tosubmit their contributions in both theoretical and practicalaspects of the following Topics.
