HCCS 2024: 4th Workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing - Welcome and Committees

Workshop onHuman-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'24) held in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2024.The HCCS workshop aims to advance and promote research about how unobtrusive observation of human cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual data increasingly enables new computing experiences and effective intervention opportunities.The workshop also seeks to stimulate dialogue about the implications of human-centered computational sensing for society.We received 10 submissions covering a wide range of topics.From a deep review process with an international program committee, 6 papers have been selected for publication.The papers will be presented in two technical sessions of the workshop, focusing on two main research areas: human sensing applications and physiological and behavioral sensing.The program includes a keynote presentation by Prof. Michael Beigl (KIT) entitled "Open Wearable Computer Systems and Applications".The keynote addresses the integration of sensing and machine learning in wearable computing, with a focus on the OpenEarable project.Finally, a roundtable discussion on human sensing research challenges and emerging topics moderated by the workshop chairs concludes the workshop.We are exceptionally thankful to the members of the technical program committee for their thoughtful and timely reviews.We also thank PerCom Workshops co-chairs, Gabriele Civitarese and Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, and PerCom General Chairs, Philippe Lalanda and Claudio Bettini, for their guidance and support.Finally, we
