PerPersuasion'19 - 1st International Workshop on Pervasive Persuasive System for Behavior Change - Welcome and Committees
Welcome Message from the General Chairs
Welcome to the 1st IEEE International Workshop on Pervasive Persuasive Systems for Behavior Change (PerPersuasion 2019), held in conjunction with the IEEE Percom 2019 in Kyoto, Japan in March 2019.
This workshop focuses on bringing together researchers and practitioners working on systems and applications in persuasive technologies.
By the recent progress of various information technologies, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is actually started using in our world. Those technologies have a possibility to affect our future behavior. For example, Apple watch commands the owner to "stand up" if it detects the long seating state. Such kind of persuasive technology is expected to improve productivity, well-being, and efficiency of our life. However, to realize an effective intervention to the human behavior, various pervasive computing technologies such as mobile sensing, activity recognition & prediction, and attention sensing should be improved more and appropriately.
The goal of the 1st PerPersuasion workshop is to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry to meet and exchange ideas on recent and future directions of pervasive research for persuasive systems.
In this year, PerPersuasion includes 6 papers on topics of mobile stress sensing, psychological-behavioral modeling, empirical experiment, intervention by virtual pets, a questionnaire-based study in the tourism domain, and notification management. Papers to be presented in the workshop have been rigorously reviewed and carefully selected based on their relevance, technical depth, and novelty by an international technical programme committee. We are very grateful to the technical programme committee for their hard work, and we would also like to thank all the authors for choosing PerPersuasion as an avenue to present their work.
We kindly welcome every attendee to the workshop and urge to actively participate in all the networking and discussions for advancing pervasive persuasive research.
