> ISWC 2008, the twelfth annual IEEE International
> Symposium on Wearable
> Computers, is the premier forum for wearable
> computing. It will bring
> together researchers, product vendors, fashion
> designers, textile
> manufacturers, users, and related professionals to
> share information and
> advances in wearable computing. We invite you to
> attend ISWC 2008 and submit
> to one or more of the following categories: papers,
> posters, demonstrations,
> exhibits, tutorials/workshops and panel discussions.
> This year we are also
> placing special emphasis on cell phones as they have
> become the most
> successful wearable computer to date; and we solicit
> papers on:
> 
> --Mobile applications designed for cell phones.
> --Cell phones as personal computers.
> --Extending cell phone hardware e.g. sensing, novel
> IO, modules.
> --Studies based on cell phone deployments
> (especially large scale).
> --Cell phones that combine short and long range
> radios.
> --Composable computer systems based on cell phones.

> --Wearable systems in consumer, industrial, medical,
> wellness, educational,
> and military domains.
> --Wearable computing for fashion designs and smart
> clothes, for people with
> disabilities, and for elder enablement.
> --Use of wearable computers as components of larger
> systems, such as
> augmented reality systems, training systems and
> systems designed to support
> collaborative work.
> --Formal evaluation of performance of wearable
> computer technologies, and
> comparisons with existing technologies.
> 
> *Hardware: *
> --Wearable system design, input devices, wearable
> displays, actuators,
> electronic textiles, and batteries.

> dissipation, and manufacturing
> issues.
> 
> *Software: *
> --Architectures, including systems that allow
> wearable computers to exploit
> surrounding infrastructure.
> --Operating systems issues related to wearable
> computing, including issues
> such as scheduling, security, and power management.
> --Networks, including wireless networks, on-body
> networks, and support for
> interaction with other wearables,
> ubiquitous-computing systems or the
> Internet.
> 
> *Human Factors:*
> --Interfaces, including hands-free approaches,
> speech-based interaction,
> sensory augmentation, haptics, and human-centered
> robotics.
> --User modeling, user evaluation, and interfaces for
> combining wearable and
> ubiquitous computing.
> --Social implications, health, and privacy issues.
> --Wearable communities and wearable technology for
> social-network
> computation, visualization and augmentation.

> *Submission *
> Papers and posters must be submitted electronically
> through the submission
> web site, which is linked off of the main web site
> at iswc.net. Initial
> submissions are due on April 28th at 11:59pm EDT.
> Papers and posters will be
> fully reviewed. Authors of accepted submissions will
> have the opportunity to
> update their submissions based on the reviews before
> the final electronic
> copy is due.
> 
> ISWC 2008 requires electronic submission. Reviewers
> will be instructed to
> maintain the confidentiality of all materials for
> submitted papers
> throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions
> should contain no
> information that will be proprietary or confidential
> at the time of
> publication.
> 
> *Papers*
> Papers may be submitted as short papers (up to four
> pages in length) or full
> papers (up to eight pages in length). Each paper
> must be submitted as a
> single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press
> 8.5×11 inch two-column format
> (described at

IEEE<http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc2e6bcd45f3/index.jsp?&pName=cscps_level1&path=cscps/cps&file=cps_forms.xml&xsl=generic.xsl&>).
> 
> 
> Full papers must describe original innovative
> research providing a review of
> related work, significant results, and the
> contribution made to the field of
> wearable computing.
> 
> Short papers should be the same quality as a full
> paper but describe work
> that is more incremental and is sufficiently
> complete to warrant
> publication. Short papers may also present
> preliminary studies demonstrating
> innovative thinking in the preparation for new
> research into meeting the
> challenges of the field.
> 
> Accepted short papers and full papers will be
> included in the printed
> conference proceedings and presented in the paper
> sessions. Paper authors
> are encouraged to upload a supporting video of at
> most 5 minutes in length
> along with their paper submission. Papers submitted
> to ISWC 2008 must not be
> under review by any other conference or publication
> during the ISWC review
> cycle, and must not be previously published or
> accepted for publication
> elsewhere.
> *
> Posters *
> Posters provide the opportunity for late-breaking,
> experimental and
> tentative research to be presented in an open
> interactive session. A typical
> example would include a concise description of the
> research, an application
> scenario and preliminary test results.
> 
> Posters are submitted in the form of a summary of up
> to two pages in length.
> Each poster summary must be submitted as a single
> PDF file in IEEE Computer
> Science Press 8.5×11-inch two-column format
> (described at

> Accepted poster summaries will be published in the
> conference proceedings
> and the poster will be presented at the conference
> poster and demonstration
> session.

> Please address any questions about paper or poster
> submissions to the
> program committee co-chairs, Roy Want (roy.want at
> intel.com) or Cliff
> Randell (cliff at cs.bris.ac.uk).
> 
> 
> *Tutorials/Workshops*
> We invite you to submit a Tutorial or Workshop
> proposal and share your
> wearable-related knowledge with other conference
> attendees through this
> venue. Tutorials and workshops are half-day events.
> 
> A tutorial is an intensive course on a special topic
> and is intended to
> enhance the skills and broaden the perspective of
> their attendees. They
> should be designed to introduce a rigorous framework
> for learning a new area
> or to provide advanced technical training in an
> area.
> 
> Workshops differ from tutorials in that they may
> include a wider range of
> activities, such as working position groups,
> hands-on experiences with
> hardware/software provided, or standards efforts.
> 
> A two-page tutorial or workshop proposal should
> include a clear description
> of the topic area, objectives, and the intended
> audience (experience level
> and prerequisites). Tutorial proposals should also
> include a 200-word
> abstract, a topical outline of the content, and a
> summary of the
> qualifications of the instructor(s). Be sure to
> include the contact name,
> affiliation, address, telephone number, electronic
> mail address, and
> associated URL for each instructor or organizer.
> 
> Please submit proposals to the Workshop and Tutorial
> Chairs, Jie Yang and
> Kristof Van Laerhoven, by email to
> workshop08[at]iswc.net no later
