         Call for Workshop Proposals

      **********************************

           Workshop of ISWC 2015

      September 7-11, 2015, Osaka, Japan


ISWC 2015 invites proposals for the workshop program of the 19th 
International Symposium on Wearable Computers. Workshops provide 
a forum for attendees with common interests and are a great 
opportunity for community building. They can be one or two days 
in length, and vary in size and format depending on their 
objectives. All workshops will be held on Monday, September 7, 
2015 and Tuesday, September 8, 2015 before the main conference.

We are soliciting workshop proposals on any topic of relevance 
to Wearable Computing. There are many ways in which workshops can 
enrich a conference, and we are aiming to accommodate diverse 
opportunities for the ISWC community to engage. This includes, 
but is not limited to:

- Workshops that provide a forum to share advances in an area of
special interest to the community. Such workshops would typically
solicit original research contributions and involve a peer-review 
process for submitted papers, but would be open to wider attendance. 
ALL accepted workshop papers will be included in the ACM digital 
library and the supplemental proceedings.

- Workshops that aim to gather a group of researchers for a focused 
activity, such as hands-on prototyping, or joint development of 
a cross-disciplinary research agenda. Such workshops typically
involve a selection process for attendance, but not necessarily 
a solicitation of material for publication.

== Pre-proposal Submission Inquiries ==

Should you wish to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal prior to 
the submission deadline, feel free to contact the Chairs of 
the Workshops Program at ** [log in to unmask] **.

== Workshop Proposal Content ==

1. The proposal should be prepared as a document of no more than 
4 pages in SIGCHI papers format, and must in addition include 
a CfP (Call for Papers, or Call for Participation). 
It must describe the topic, rationale and objectives for 
the workshop, the organizers’ backgrounds, an estimate of expected 
attendance (and whether participation will be limited), and a 
detailed plan for conducting the workshop (including any plans for 
pre-workshop preparation and/or post-workshop follow up). Upon 
acceptance, the workshop description is expected to be revised 
and adapted for inclusion in the supplemental proceedings.

2. All workshops have the option to solicit contributions for 
inclusion in the ACM Digital Library and supplemental proceedings 
of the conference. Workshop organizers must clearly describe in 
their proposal whether they wish to have workshop contributions 
published in this way. Organizers can specify page numbers for 
papers they solicit, but all workshop papers must be in the SIGCHI 
non-archival format, and be ready for inclusion into ACM digital 
library and the supplementary proceedings by ** July 17, 2015 **.

== Workshop Selection Process ==

Workshops will be reviewed by a jury of experts who will evaluate the 
work based on how compelling they expect it to be to ISWC 
attendees. The jury will consider several factors during the selection 
process, including:

1. The potential for the topic of the workshop to generate stimulating 
discussions and useful results.
2. The expected interest level in the topic in the community.
3. The organizers’ ability to demonstrate in the proposal a 
well-organized process and plan for the workshop.
4. The overall balance of topics in the Workshops program. If multiple 
submissions are received on the same or similar topics, 
the organizers may be encouraged to merge them.

== Workshop Organizers' Responsibilities ==

The organizers of each workshop are expected to:

1. Publicize the workshop with a call for participation via 
the ISWC website and email
2. Set up a web site for the workshop containing more details on 
the workshop, including CFP, workshop format, plans for publication 
(if any), participants, program, etc. In particular, the CFP should 
clearly specify that accepted papers must be in the SIGCHI Extended 
Abstract format) (Word, LaTeX) and will be published in the ISWC 
2015 adjunct proceedings.
3. Encourage potential participants to submit papers
4. Work with the ISWC Publication Chairs to include workshop papers 
in the ACM digital library and the adjunct proceedings
5. Work with the ISWC Workshop Chairs to arrange the workshop
6. Actively run the workshop

Note that workshops are an integral part of the ISWC conference. 
Hence, workshop organizers and attendees are expected to register 
for the workshop in addition to the conference.

== Submitting Your Proposal ==

Please email your proposal directly to the workshop chairs at 
** [log in to unmask] **. The deadline for submission is 
** March 28, 2015 **. The submission should be a single PDF file, 
including both the proposal (max. 4 pages) and an appended CFP. 
Please download and use the required templates to prepare 
the proposal.
