Activity Monitoring by Multiple Distributed Sensing (AMMDS) Call for Papers

Activity Monitoring by Multiple Distributed Sensing (AMMDS) 2013 Motivation: Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities applications. By analyzing information from different sensors it is possible to monitor activities in large, complex areas such as buildings, airports, road and rail networks, sport grounds. Multiple distributed sensing systems can provide more confident deductions about the events of interest and reduce ambiguities , caused by using a single sensor (in number or in typology).The focus of the Workshop is on distributed computing issues in large scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms and applications, systems design techniques and tools, and in-network signal and information processing). The Workshop is the natural evolution of previous AMMCSS, with the generalization to multiple distributed sensing instead of only multi-camera systems. We would like to invite original research papers describing significant results by using multiple distributed sensing for monitoring and surveillance purposes. Scope: The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different communities, such as computer vision, networked embedded sensing, artificial intelligence, etc., to explore the problem of interpretation of information captured by multiple distributed sensing systems, and in particular: Single- and multiple-object tracking Re-identification Human behavior analysis Individual activity detection and recognition Multi-agent/multi-sensing activity detection and recognition Scene understanding Calibration of different types of sensors Event detection Distributed collaborative information processing Abstractions for modular design Organizers: Pier Luigi Mazzeo (mazzeo@ba.issia.cnr.it) Paolo Spagnolo (spagnolo@ba.issia.cnr.it) ISSIA-Istituto di studi sui sistemi intelligenti per l’automazione, CNR, Bari, Italy Workshop website: http://www.issia.cnr.it/workshop2013/ Important Dates: Paper submission: May 28, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 10, 2013 Camera-ready paper submission: June 17, 2013 Early registration: June 17, 2013 Workshop: August 27, 2013
