Call for Papers for a Thematic Issue on Advancements in Activity Recognition for Intelligent Environments

Submit before September 30, 2024

The rapid development of activity recognition technologies is revolutionizing intelligent environments, making them more responsive and adaptive to humans' needs. These systems utilize an array of sensors and sophisticated algorithms to accurately detect and interpret activities, playing a pivotal role in applications ranging from smart homes and healthcare to industrial automation and urban planning. The enhanced performance of activity recognition models has enabled real-time, efficient monitoring and analysis, which are essential for creating environments that seamlessly integrate with daily life and operations. This technology's ability to unobtrusively and accurately identify activities is crucial for enhancing the functionality and user experience within intelligent environments.

The significance of these advancements extends beyond mere convenience, as they are foundational to the development of environments that anticipate and respond to the behaviors and needs of their inhabitants. By improving the accuracy and robustness of activity recognition systems, Intelligent Environments can offer greater safety, efficiency, and personalization. These innovations facilitate continuous, non-invasive monitoring, thereby supporting independent living for the elderly, optimizing energy use in smart buildings, and enhancing productivity in workplaces. As intelligent environments evolve, the role of activity recognition will be increasingly critical in creating spaces that are not only smart but also intuitive and responsive, ultimately improving the quality of life and operational efficiency across various settings.

Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Human Activity Recognition (HAR) Models
  • Applications of LLM and Robotics
  • Imaging recognition and Computer Vision
  • Smart Industry
  • Machine Learning and Deep Learning applied to Activity Recognition in Intelligent environments
  • Smart Cities
  • Sentiment and Social Media Data Analysis
  • Secured humanoid robots with emerging blockchain technology
  • Smart Health
  • Sustainability and process efficiency

About the Journal

The Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments (JAISE) (impact factor 1.8, CiteScore 4.3) serves as a forum to discuss the latest developments on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Smart Environments (SmE). Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the areas involved, the journal aims to promote participation from several different communities covering topics ranging from enabling technologies such as multi-modal sensing and vision processing, to algorithmic aspects in interpretive and reasoning domains, to application-oriented efforts in human-centered services, as well as contributions from the fields of robotics, networking, HCI, mobile, collaborative and pervasive computing.

Instructions for Authors

Contributions must be at least 12 pages in length. Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Conference papers may be submitted if the paper has been rewritten and expanded to at least 30% (proofs to be included in the cover letter), and, if appropriate, written permissions must have been obtained from any copyright holders of the original paper.

Additional information about the journal, including detailed instructions for authors can be found on the journal website. Submissions should be submitted to the journal's online submission system under Section: Advancements in Activity Recognition for Intelligent Environments.
