[agents] [CFP] 5th workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25)

[Rajesh Titung (RIT Student)]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fifth Workshop on
Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25)
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs25/home>, which will be co-located with
the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom'25)  <https://www.percom.org/>in Washington DC, USA,
from March 17-21, 2025.

The fifth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25)
workshop aims to advance and promote research on how unobtrusive
observations of human cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual
data are increasingly enabling innovative computing experiences. The
workshop will also foster discussions about the societal implications of
computational sensing. Traditionally, sensors have been understood narrowly
as devices that capture physiological measurements, often through
wearables. This workshop adopts a broader, human-centric perspective,
envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to
individuals and their communities. With this approach, sensing encompasses
human reactions and interactions observed through spoken, written, or
signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily expressions, social networks,
geospatial patterns, and other forms of human-generated data. Advances in
multimodal human data acquisition and fusion have the potential to
significantly impact all areas of human life, including productivity,
health and well-being, training and education, human-computer interaction,
accessibility, safety and security, as well as gaming, sports, and
entertainment.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

   - Context-Aware Sensing for Adaptive Learning Environments
   - Emotion Recognition through Physiological and Behavioral Signals
   - Personalized Well-being Applications using Continuous Sensing
   - Smart Workplaces through Behavioral Sensing
   - Human Activity Recognition in Unstructured Environments
   - Emotion-Adaptive Interfaces for Human-Computer Interaction
   - Geospatial Behavior Analysis for Urban Planning
   - Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human
   sensing data
   - Localization and proximity-detection systems
   - AI-empowered mobile sensing systems
   - Generative AI for synthetic sensor data generation and evaluation
   - User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies
   - Accessibility of human sensing technologies
   - New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing
   - Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world
   applications
   - Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, social goods and all
   possible application domains
   - Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on
   human-centered computational sensing
   - Privacy and ethical considerations for human-centered computational
   sensing, including gender equality.

*Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected
papers accepted to HCCS’25 to submit an extended work to a Special Issue of
an international journal.*

*Submission and Registration*:
Authors are invited to submit technical or theoretical papers for
presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished
work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference,
or journal. Papers may be no more than 6 pages in length. Authors can
purchase one additional page for the camera-ready version. Papers in excess
of the page limits will not be considered for review or publication. All
papers must be typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US
letter paper, with all fonts embedded. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word
templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE website.

Submission instructions will be available soon on the workshop and
conference websites.

It is a requirement that all the authors listed in the submitted paper are
also listed in the submission system. Each accepted workshop paper requires
a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops
only). Papers that are not presented in presence at the workshop will not
be published in the proceedings.

*"Please submit papers using this
