With the recent dramatic advances in machine learning, signal processing, computer vision, and natural language processing, variety of multimodal applications increases every day. Application areas include healthcare, autonomous driving, robotics, sports analytics, neuromarketing, psychological and physiological assessment, surveillance, gaming, and augmented/virtual reality. Consequently, in the era of intelligent systems, reliable interpretation of human behavior and detailed analysis of usability for multimodal user interfaces gain further importance. <br><br>We solicit contributions to a special issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces on “Behavior and Usability Analysis for Multimodal User Interfaces.” For this special issue, we welcome technical and empirical studies that focus on (a) interpretation and modeling of behavioral patterns, and (b) analysis and assessment of usability for multimodal human computer interaction. The topics include, but are not restricted to: <br><br>- Usability analysis<br>- User-centered interaction <br>- Human activity analysis<br>- Social signal processing<br>- Facial expression and gesture recognition<br>- Face and body tracking<br>- Speech recognition and voice analysis<br>- Text analysis<br>- Psychological and physiological assessment<br>- Multimodal fusion<br>- Spatio-temporal dynamics of actions and behavior<br>- Benchmarking studies on novel databases<br><br><br><b>SUBMISSIONS:</b><br>Submissions must represent original material. Papers are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has been neither submitted to, nor published in, another journal or conference. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous review process. Please indicate in your cover letter that you are submitting to the special issue.
