Dear iWOAR Community and Sensor & AI enthusiasts,
Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.
We are excited to announce the 10th International Workshop on Sensor-Based Activity Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (iWOAR 2025) in Enschede, Netherlands (University of Twente campus). IWOAR is a dynamic, conference-like workshop hosted by the members of the Pervasive Systems Research Group at the University of Twente. We're focused on the exciting intersection of AI and the recognition of human and animal activities using wearable, device-free, and related technologies. This year, we welcome Michael Beigl as our keynote speaker! With his work on different sensing technologies and artificial intelligence, he is a leading expert in the field of pervasive computing.
We invite cutting edge submissions that target (but are not limited to) the following topics and applications:
- Human Activity /Behavior/Wellbeing Recognition
- Animal Activity and Wellbeing/Welfare Recognition
- (w)Earable Sensing, Computing and Artificial Intelligence
- Device-free Sensing
- Affective Computing
- Real-time Activity Recognition
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Human-Centered Intelligence
- Wireless Sensor Networks/IoT
- Context Awareness
- Sensing in Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality
- Assistive Technologies
- Ambient Assisted Living
- Pervasive & Ubiquitous Computing
- Applications for (Mental) Health, Therapy and Rehabilitation
- Occupational Safety, Healthcare and Wellness
- Assisted Production
- Privacy and Ethical Considerations in Human/Animal Sensing
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished work, and must not be under review for any other publication at the time of submission.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 designated program committee chairs make the final decision on acceptance or rejection. Accepted papers will be published in the iWOAR 2025 Proceedings online in the SpringerLink digital library (LNCS format required).
We look forward to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to the University of Twente campus!
Kind regards,
Jeroen Klein Brinke

=======================================================
Call for AI-CogDev – “Architecting Intelligence: Exploring Intersections in Cognitive Robotics and Developmental Learning” workshop.
IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL 2025)
September 16th, Prague, Czech Republic
=== Important dates ===
Submission deadline: June 27th, July 11th, 2025
Notification of acceptance: July 11th, July 25th, 2025
Camera-ready deadline: August 1st, August 8th, 2025

=== Why Developmental Cognitive Architectures Matter ===
Humans are perhaps the most adaptable species on Earth—not because we are inherently the best at any one thing, but because we excel at learning. We don’t come equipped with a perfect model of the world; instead, we continuously update our partial understanding through experience. We can’t read minds, but we learn to interpret others’ behaviors and intentions through interaction and empathy.
As researchers, we build models that capture some of the brain’s inner workings, describe its functional components, and replicate isolated behaviors in controlled environments. But to bring these models into the complex, ever-changing real world, we must go beyond static systems. We must design adaptive, developmental architectures—systems that grow, learn, and evolve, much like human infants do.
This workshop seeks to revitalize the conversation around Developmental Cognitive Architectures, creating a space for both established experts and emerging researchers to exchange ideas, share insights, and explore how we can shape the future of intelligent, autonomous systems.
Workshop Objectives:
Explore how developmental principles—such as sensorimotor learning, curiosity-driven exploration, and social interaction—can inform the design of intelligent robotic systems.
Highlight cutting-edge work in cognitive robotics that draws inspiration from developmental processes.
Identify key challenges and open research questions that must be addressed to advance the field.
Foster interdisciplinary collaboration across AI, robotics, psychology, neuroscience, and engineering.
We warmly invite all those curious about the intersection of learning, cognition, and robotics to join us in this important discussion.
Topics of interest include, but are definitely not limited to:
Cognitive Architectures applied to real or simulated embodiments
Developmental Learning and Developmental Robotics
Symbol grounding and concept emergence in autonomous systems
Open-ended Reinforcement Learning
Intrinsically Motivated Learning
Affection and Cognition in Development
Ethical and trust considerations of developmental agents in real-world scenarios
Brain/Psychologically -inspired development/ computational intelligence
=== Call for Contributions ===
To encourage rich and thought-provoking discussions on the theme of learning, especially at the intersection of Cognitive Architectures and Developmental AI, we warmly invite participants to submit their contributions to the workshop.
We welcome a variety of submission formats, including:
Extended abstracts (2 to 4 pages)
Short position papers (1 page)
In addition to state-of-the-art research, we strongly encourage submissions that include works in progress, preliminary findings, and critical reflections or position papers. This inclusive format aims to foster dialogue and highlight emerging ideas that may serve as valuable springboards for the workshop's panel discussions.
Please submit your work in PDF format via the AI-CogDev submission form (https://forms.gle/HQeovAuEQwoXpgF26).
Accepted contributions will be featured in poster sessions and may also be presented orally. The paper will be uploaded to the workshop website.
We look forward to your insights and to shaping this conversation together.
