Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of wearable technology and advanced machine learning (ML) techniques has revolutionized the field of human activity recognition (HAR). Wearable devices, equipped with various sensors, provide continuous and detailed data that, when analyzed with sophisticated ML algorithms, can accurately identify and interpret a wide range of human activities. This Special Issue, "Wearable Computing and Activity Recognition", seeks to gather pioneering research and innovative methodologies that leverage wearable technology for HAR, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this dynamic field.
Human activity recognition is essential for numerous applications, including healthcare, fitness, security, and smart environments. The continuous data flow from wearables necessitates robust ML models to process and make sense of this information in real time. We aim to showcase research that enhances the accuracy, reliability, and practicality of HAR systems using wearable computing. We invite you to submit your latest findings and contribute to advancing this exciting area of research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Computers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
