Call for Papers for the Twelfth Annual IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers
Summary
===============
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Dates: September 28-October 1 2008
Paper/Poster Submission Deadline: April 21 2008
Call for Papers
===============
Paper and Poster submissions are due on April 21st at 11:59pm EDT.
Please visit iswc.net for paper submission.
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.
(((Did he say "composable" or "compostable"?)))
Additional core topics for ISWC submissions include, but are not limited to:
*Applications:*
–Wearable systems in consumer, industrial, medical, wellness, educational, and military domains. (((This means you, Marvel Comics "Weapon-X Wolverine.")))
–Wearable computing for fashion designs and smart clothes, for people with disabilities, and for elder enablement. (((I hope when I'm elderly I don't have to put up with tasteful jargon like "elder enablement." Just cyborg me and get it over with, you whippersnappers.)))
–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.
–Interactive and industrial design.
-Wearable sensors, and networks for sensing context-awareness or cognitive state.
–Techniques for power management and heat 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 21st 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>).
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
IEEE>).
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).
Demonstrations: Information coming soon, please watch iswc.net
