Call for Papers =============== International Symposium on Wearable Computers October 8-9, 2001 ETH Zurich, Switzerland All submissions due by May 8, 2001 More information on http://www.iswc.ethz.ch/ http://iswc.gatech.edu ----------------------------------------------------------- PAPERS We invite researchers to submit papers on the topics listed Below or other topics related to wearable computing. The authors of papers that are selected for the conference will provide presentations during the conference. TOPICS for ISWC include, but are not limited to: ------------------------------------------------ - Applications, including augmented reality, computer-supported collaborative work, computer-supported cooperative living, ubiquitous computing, personal imaging, consumer applications, industrial applications, medical applications, military applications, and software agents. - Hardware, including head-mounted display technologies, batteries, power management, heat dissipation techniques, industrial design techniques, clothing, and manufacturing & packaging issues. - Human Interface, including hands-free user speech recognition, mobility-challenged users, user modeling, user evaluations, and health issues. - Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, the World Wide Web, and networked vs. standalone computers. - Operating Systems - Social implications - Privacy Issues - Software Architectures - Ergonomics - Wearable Training - Future of Wearable Computing - Digital Clothing - Smart fashion POSTERS We invite researchers, especially students, to submit summaries for posters that describe current work related to wearable computing. The number of posters that are accepted for the conference will be limited by available space. PANELS We invite you to openly debate a wearable related issue with a group of experts. A panel offers an opportunity for 3-5 people (including the chair) to present their views or results on a common theme, issue, or question. Panels should cover timely topics related to the conference areas of interest. Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus and timeliness of the topic; expertise of proposed panelists; as well as the potential for informative (and even controversial) discussion. A panel summary and position statements will be included in the proceedings. Panels must allot at least 50% of the time for interaction and discussion with the audience. CORPORATE / PERSONAL CASE STUDIES We invite you to present your recent wearable developments and applications, inform the audience of your future directions, discuss wearable related business issues, or showcase your noteworthy wearable products and services. Corporate/Personal Case Studies are not included in the Proceedings and require no formal printed materials. TUTORIALS / WORKSHOPS (3 hours) We invite you to share your wearable related knowledge with other conference attendees. Tutorials and Workshops are 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 as much as they may include a wider range of activities such as working position groups, hands-on experiences with hardware/software provided, or standards efforts. Possible examples include conducting usability studies, introduction to augmented reality, designing speech-based interfaces, or wireless networking technology. EXHIBITIONS We invite you to exhibit your products, services, or research projects during the conference. Exhibitions will be available continuously in a room (or rooms) near the meeting room. Exhibitors will show their products and distribute promotional literature to interested conference attendees. Exhibitors must register for the conference and may be required pay a fee for their booths (To be determined). The number of exhibitors that are accepted for the conference will be limited by available space. DEMONSTRATIONS Unlike the more formal exhibitions, demonstrations will be on a space- and time-available basis at the symposium. This is an opportunity to show prototype hardware and works in progress to colleagues for comment in a relaxed atmosphere. Paper presenters are highly encouraged to demonstrate their work after their respective sessions. Accommodations (power, space, etc.) will be limited, so participants should plan to be mobile and self-supported. GADGET SHOW The Gadget Show has been quite popular in previous years, so we are going to do it again. Come to the conference with your best toys for an informal show-and-tell. The exact date and time for this event will be announced later. FASHION SHOW We invite designers and manufacturers to present their latest approaches in functional textiles and fashionable garments on the ISWC catwalk. ============================== For questions contact: Chairman Prof. G.
