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


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
