Paper Submission

ICAA’18 solicits original work submitted as a regular paper of up to 8 pages (inclusive of references) in ACM format (URL: http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Accepted papers will appear in the ICAA’18 proceedings. The authors of a selected number of top quality papers will be invited to extend their papers for further review and possible publication in special issues of reputable journals. Papers have to be submitted via the EasyChair submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaa2018.

The theme of ICAA’18 is AI for All Ages. We welcome submissions reporting research that advances ageless aging through AI technologies. The conference scope includes (but not limited to) topics such as AI, data analytics, Internet of things (IoT), human-computer interaction (HCI), and their applications or deployments in cognition and person-centric care, future nursing home, life-long learning, aging-in-place, serious games, productive aging, aging studies and test-bedding.

The ICAA’18 organizing committee shall put up the request to ACM for the inclusion of the ICAA’18 Proceedings in ACM Digital Library. If such request is approved by ACM, all papers included in the ICAA’18 Proceedings will be EI Indexed. The topics of interest of ICAA’18 include but are not limited to the following:
