Demonstrations provide an opportunity to show research prototypes and works
in progress to colleagues for comment in a relaxed atmosphere.
Paper and poster presenters are also highly encouraged to demonstrate their
work. Accommodations (power, space, etc.) will be limited, so participants
should plan to be mobile and self-supported. To apply to perform a
demonstration, please prepare a one-page summary that describes what you
plan to demonstrate; presentation method and requirement for space, power,
lighting, sound, network and so on.
Include pictures and diagrams, so that your proposed demonstration can be
clearly understood, and provide a clear description of the power and space
requirements. Accepted demonstrations will be presented at the conference
poster and demonstration session; however, they will not be published in th=
e
conference proceedings.
Please address any questions about demonstration submissions to the
Demonstrations Chair, Haruo Noma or Tobias Hollerer
(
).

Tutorials and Workshops

We invite you to share your wearable-related knowledge with other conferenc=
e
attendees in a tutorial or workshop format. A tutorial is an intensive
course on a special topic. Half-day tutorials and advanced tutorials will b=
e
held on Tuesday, October 18. Tutorials 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
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 address any questions about tutorial submissions to the Tutorials an=

Workshops Chair, Satoshi Nakamura (
).

We invite you to exhibit your products, designs, services, or research
projects during the conference. Exhibits will be available continuously in =
a
venue near the meeting room. Exhibitors will show their products and
distribute promotional literature to interested conference attendees.
The number of exhibitors that are accepted for the conference will be
limited by available space. To apply to be an exhibitor, write a summary of
the product, service, or research project that you hope to exhibit,
describing why it will interest the conference attendees. The summary shoul=
d
not exceed 500 words (one page) in length. Be sure to include in the summar=
y
the exhibitor names, affiliations, addresses, telephone numbers, electronic
mail addresses, and URL. Also, identify the contact person for the
exhibition. Applications to exhibit at ISWC 2005, and any questions about
exhibiting, should be submitted by email directly to the exhibits co-chairs=
,
Zary Segall or Masahiko Tsukamoto (
).

The fashion aspect of wearable computing is important in practical uses of
wearable computers. At the same time, it is also important from the fashion
point of view since it can enlarge the expressiveness of
(normal) fashion. This fashion aspect can be most attractively demonstrated
by a fashion show, which we will have in this conference as a part of an
exhibition. In the fashion show, a presentation using a PC projector can be
given by participants while their models' walk (in a few minutes). To apply
to the fashion show, please prepare one-page summary that includes the
description of the concept and the functionalities, the design drawings wit=
h
explanations on devices, and a description of the stage requirements (light
or sound environments).
Accepted designs should be implemented as "really wearable" wears to be
presented in the fashion show; however, they will not be published in the
conference proceedings.
Please address any questions about fashion show submissions to an Exhibitio=
n
Co-Chair, Masahiko Tsukamoto or Zary Segall ().
