The rapid aging of population worldwide has brought unprecedented social economic challenges to the society. Apart from physical, cognitive and emotional difficulties faced by senior citizens, two new types of challenges – social challenges and sustainable economic development challenges – are becoming more prominent. Research and technology that will enable the elderly to lead an active, independent and dignified lifestyle are urgently needed.

The 6th International Conference on Ageless Aging (ICAA’18) will act as a forum to discuss advances in the state-of-the-art in research and practice to help the elderly enjoy an active and independent lifestyle. Authors from both academia and industry are invited to share their experience, vision, ideas and research about ageless aging. Both theoretical and practical contributions are welcome.

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. Please refer to http://icaa2018.crowdscience.org/ for a comprehensive list of all specific topics.
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.
