Abstract

Pervasive sensing and human behavior understanding can help us in implementing or improving systems that can induce behavioral change. In this introductory paper of the 2nd International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU'11), which has a special focus theme of “Inducing Behavioral Change”, we provide a taxonomy to describe where and how HBU technology can be harnessed to this end, and supply a short survey of the area from an application perspective. We also consider how social signals and settings relate to this concept.
