International Workshop on Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Artificial Intelligence Call for Papers

International Workshop on Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (iWOAR 2026)
September 10-11, 2026,
Wiesbaden, Germany

Submission deadline: June 25, 2026 (Springer LNCS)
Website: https://iwoar.org

In the past years, the increasing acceptance of wearable sensors has
opened new possibilities of applications aiming to better understand
the human body, including (but not limited to) human activity
recognition, emotion and stress recognition, pain recognition, sleep
analysis, nutrition medicine. Due to their ability to collect large
amounts of data in unobtrusive ways, wearable devices have attracted
the interest of various actors in both the academic and industrial
fields, and given them an incentive to develop solutions for the
continuous monitoring of the human state in a daily life, workplace or
medical context. For these reasons, wearable computing has become an
active field of research, with on-going investigations to propose
user-friendly and unobtrusive systems that provide high performing
services.

iWOAR is an international workshop with a conference-like format. This
year's workshop is hosted by the Hochschule RheinMain in Wiesbaden,
Germany - only 30 km from Frankfurt airport. The workshop focuses on
recognizing human (and animal) activities using artificial
intelligence, with wearable and device-free sensors, as well as
related technologies.

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and must not be
under review for any other publication at the time of submission. All
scientific submissions undergo a single-blind peer-review process to
ensure that high-quality content is published. Each submission
typically receives 2-3 reviews. All submissions are discussed among
the program committee members. The program committee chairs make the
final decision on acceptance or rejection.

Accepted papers will be published in the iWOAR 2026 Proceedings online
in the SpringerLink digital library (LNCS format required).

We invite submissions that target (but are not limited to) the
following topics and applications:

* Human Activity /Behavior/Wellbeing Recognition
* Animal Activity and Wellbeing/Welfare Recognition
* Wearable Sensing, Computing and Artificial Intelligence
* Device-free Sensing
* Sensing in Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality
* Affective Computing
* Real-time Activity Recognition
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Human-Centered Intelligence
* Wireless Sensor Networks/IoT
* Context Awareness
* Assistive Technologies
* Active and Healthy Living
* Pervasive & Ubiquitous Computing
* Applications for (Mental) Health, Therapy and Rehabilitation
* Digital Health and Medical Technology
* Occupational Safety, Healthcare and Wellness
* Assisted Production
* Privacy and Ethical Considerations in Human/Animal Sensing


We look forward to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to Wiesbaden!
