                     4th International Workshop on
Socially Intelligent Surveillance and Monitoring  SISM 2013

http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~vincia/sism2013/index.html

In conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern 
Recognition, Portland (Oregon), June 28, 2013

**************************************************************************
DEADLINE is March 13, 2013
BUT we accept also papers with slight delay.
Please, send us an expression of interest and possibly a title and 
abstract so that we can start to assign reviewers!
**************************************************************************

Computer vision and pattern recognition are the main technologies used
for automatic monitoring of public spaces. Effective approaches for tracking
people, recognizing poses, postures, gestures, collective crowd phenomena
in public environments have been developed in the last years, especially in
the video surveillance context, aimed at classifying (suspect, unusual, 
abnormal)
behaviors.

In parallel, new technologies are being developed for sensing and monitoring
inappropriate behavior in social media (e.g., identity theft, abuses on 
chlidren, etc.),
a setting where the problems requiring surveillance technologies in the 
physical
space tend to appear, in a different form, more and more frequently. Not 
to mention
the critical role that social media play nowadays in a large number of 
activities that
have a potential impact on the public sphere, from flash-mobs stopping 
the traffic for
a few minutes to nation-wide revolutions.

This workshop aims at gathering researchers active in computer vision 
and pattern
recognition, human sciences and automatic behavior understanding to 
tackle the
problems above in an interdiscplinary perspective. Joint research across 
different
communities will have a major impact on any technology that can benefit 
from automatic
monitoring approaches, including video-surveillance, architecture, 
ambient intelligence,
marketing, office space design, urbanism, etc.

Interested participants are invited to submit papers that should 
describe high-quality
original research joining computer vision and pattern recognition, human 
sciences
and automatic behavior understanding areas. Topics of interest include 
(but are by no
means limited to):

Proxemics
Human ethology
Kinesics
Spatial Empathy
Territoriality
Expressions and emotions
Tracking: multi-person, multi-camera, group/crowd
Motion segmentation and analysis
Crowd/group analysis and simulation
Social force models
Collective and emergent behaviour
Gesture/Action recognition
Activity analysis
Multi-person/group/crowd interaction analysis
Spatial and temporal reasoning
Sensory integration and data fusion
Social media and security
Sentiment analysis
Situation awareness and understanding
Applications: Ambient Intelligence, Surveillance and Monitoring, 
Domotics, Intelligent, Perceptual Marketing
