       UbiComp 2014 Workshop on

            Smart Technology for Cooking and Eating Activities (CEA2014)

                                     Seattle, WA, US, September 14, 2014

	Cooking is one of the most fundamental activities of humankind.
It is strongly related to social interactions. It is not only connected
with the joy of eating but also deeply affects various aspects of human
life such as health, culinary art, entertainment, and human
communication.
Cooking at home requires experience and knowledge. They may also need
support for food-logging and menu planning for their family health.
Needless to say, support for a good and enjoyable meal would improve the
quality of life. Systematic cooking/eating support for elderly or
physically challenged people is also significantly important.

	Since people cook by manipulating foods, watching their
conditions, listening to the sounds, smelling the aromas, and tasting it,
a cooking support system also requires multiple sensing capabilities.
Thanks to modern technology, the traditional kitchen is becoming more
intelligent. Recently, home appliances such as refrigerators, microwave
ovens, and cooking stoves, are equipped with multiple sensing devices
and a computing processor. Some may even have additional devices such as
a camera, a microphone, and a RF-ID tag reader built in. Reflecting this
trend, researches on supporting cooking and eating activities have
started throughout the world individually.
	
	CEA has been aiming to provide an opportunity for such research
groups to discover each other, introduce their trials, and discuss their
status and where they should go. The research community of CEA is truly
interdisciplinary, including health science, domestic science, and
cultural science. Even if we limit ourselves to computer science, there
are related works in multimedia, human-computer interaction, natural
language processing, and artificial intelligence. At this year's meeting,
CEA plans to organize a workshop in conjunction with UbiComp2014 to have
a discussion from the viewpoint of ubiquitous and pervasive computing
system, among other perspectives.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Instructions for Author
The accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2014 adjunct
proceedings and included into ACM digital library. All submitted paper
must be in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format according to the
following;

[Template]
- Microsoft Word:
 http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-extended-abstracts-word-template/view
- LaTeX:
 http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-extended-abstracts-latex-template/view

A paper is required to be within 10 pages. The papers are reviewed in
single-blind manner, so you do not need to hide your identity.
We also encourage the authors to follow the 'Accessibility' section in
main conference web site (but not mandatory).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Review criteria & process
	Regular session:
	Each paper submission will be reviewed by more than two experts.
	Submissions are reviewed based on:
   - Originality of the content
   - Quality of the content
   - Relevance to the theme
   - Clarity of the written presentation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* CwC Showcase:
	In this workshop, we invite the organizers of the past Cooking
with Computers (CwC) workshop and organize a special demo session within
the proposed CEA workshop named as the "CwC Showcase". CwC has been
aiming at gathering researchers from a broad range of research topics
within the AI field. The main objective of CwC is to show how existing
approaches in AI could be used to solve problems in cooking. The CwC
Showcase co-chairs will invite demonstrations according to their
criteria.
At the proposed workshop, we intend that CEA and CwC communities meet
people from broader areas, and opens up the possibility for new
collaborations.
