In the early 2000s a couple of us started working on what seemed science fiction at the time: contact-fee . One of the first articulations of this vision appeared in an IEEE position paper of mine in 2003 - https://lnkd.in/gBMGNYNz.
A lot of progress has happened since then and it is time to put it all together. I am delighted to announce a call for papers (CFP) for a special issue in the IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing. The issue will be devoted to the on for . Ioannis Pavlidis (me), Daniel McDuff and Theodora Chaspari will serve as the special issue editors. You can find the full CFP with instructions for submission at https://lnkd.in/gmdz9izK. Pre-submissions open on June 1. We look forward to receiving your work and mark a new milestone in .

CFP: Physiological Measurement | IEEE Computer Society Imaging and wearable physiological monitoring schemes have come a long way since the 2000s, but there is still significant room for improvement.

Our paper on `The rise of affectivism' just got published . This is a collective effort by over 60 esteemed colleagues from , , and , in which I had the honor to participate. The project was masterfully led by Daniel Dukes and David Sander from the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences, University of Geneva The supporting and debates lasted over two years! Me and Dr. Emtiaz from my lab developed the quantitative analysis in support of the paper's argument. The article provides an engaging account of the rise of affectivism from obscurity to prominence, initially in and , and eventually across almost every scientific field. Hence, a must read for every scientist, but particularly for computer scientists working in the area. And, as if it were arranged to emphasize the paper's point, Apple the last few days promotes its new line of software products by the way of the WWDC21 event through a splash screen featuring a galore of emojis https://developer.apple.com/wwdc21/. If affectivism reached the point to rule Apple products, it may soon rule the world! The paper can be accessed at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-021-01130-8

Prophetic Papers of Mobile Fitness Apps & Gadgets I was reading with interest the latest article in Washington Post about the commanding position of the step tracking industry and the surrounding myths and facts. It came to mind all the innovative research that my lab did in this area from 2006 to 2016, which predicted every major feature of the cu
