The 3rd Workshop on
"Workflow and Event Analysis for Assistive Environments "

Call for Papers
Workshop Theme and Goals

Visual supervision and event analysis is critical in many multimedia applications for assistive living. The methods, tools and algorithms that aim to detect and recognize high level concepts and their respective spatiotemporal and causal relations in order to identify semantic video activities, can be employed for scene analysis or may trigger actuators such as robots. This research area has strong impact on many real-life applications such as monitoring of patients and assistive services.

Pervasive computing is very useful in computer vision applications from two main perspectives. First, it is the development and application of pervasive computing (or ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence) technologies for video data management. Second, it seeks to make the event-related applications available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere by removing location, time and other restraints while increasing both the coverage and quality of healthcare.
