Call for Papers
Fifth Workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25) 
co-located with the IEEE PerCom 2025, March 17-21, 2025 - 
Washington DC, USA.

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 should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop.
Accepted workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).
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.
