*CFP - 2nd Special Session on Smart Things for Active and Assisted Living
(ST4AAL) – Pisa (IT), 29-30 November 2017Motivation and rationale*

Rapidly growing elderly population and declining workforce in developed
countries, due to increased life expectancy and decreased birth rates,
bring new challenges, as, with ageing, the probability of people developing
physical and cognitive impairments increases. A strong need for new and
more effective technologies and services to provide support and care, and
to prolong independent living with acceptable Quality of Life, emerges. At
the same time, new and emerging technologies may provide the tools to face
the aforementioned challenges, like personalized care, quantified self, and
lifelogging, based on the pervasive use of wearable devices. As in the
first edition in 2016, this Special Session will focus on Smart Things for
Active and Assisted Living, a domain that embraces both physical (wearable
devices, smart objects of daily living) and virtual things (monitoring
applications running on mobile devices, smart environments), designed
according to a user-centred approach, for which several technological
issues have to be tackled, such as sensing and communications capabilities,
power supply, data security and reliability, but also other issues such as
usability , acceptability, and willingness-to-use.

The Special Session will welcome contributions from researchers and experts
in the aforementioned areas, but also from professionals and practitioners,
to provide an up-to-date view of the current research in the domain of
Smart Things for AAL, availability of such Smart Things in the market, and
future perspectives of this rapidly growing field.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Wearable Sensors and Smart Devices for AAL
Smart Homes and Living Environments
Sensing and Communications in Smart Things for AAL
Smartphone Apps as Smart Things for AAL
Lifelogging: technologies, experiences, users’ acceptability
Signal Processing and Analysis
Multimedia Processing in Smart Things for AAL
Machine Learning for Signal Processing
Intelligent Data Processing and Predictive Algorithms
Security, Safety and Privacy – proof Smart Things for AAL
Case studies of deployed Smart Things for AAL
User interfaces for Smart Things for AAL, usability and acceptability
Market perspectives for Smart Things for AAL
User-centred design of Smart Things for AAL
Impact assessment of Smart Things for AAL
Deployment of Smart Things for AAL
