Computer seeks submissions for the October 2015 special issue on challenges and applications in physiological computing.

The special issue aims to report on current tools, challenges, and applications of physiological computing, providing readers a broad but detailed understanding of how this area has developed and where it is going next. Topics of interest include but are not limited to

  • New human–computer paradigms enabled by physiological computing — for example, symbiosis;
  • Sensor design, including smart clothing, embedded sensors, and contact-free monitoring;
  • Technological challenges, such as inferring states from measures in the real world and real-time classification;
  • Interaction issues, including system accuracy, application acceptance, and interface design; and
  • Potential applications — for example, mental workload monitoring, media tagging, adaptive gaming, and robotics.

Full paper submission deadline: 1 April 2015
Publication date: October 2015
