                        ISWC 2015

                   http://www.iswc.net/

           The 19th annual International Symposium
           on Wearable Computers

              September 7-11, 2015, Osaka, Japan

ISWC 2015, the 19th annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers,
is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body
and worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings together researchers, product
vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related
professionals to share information and advances in wearable technology.

ISWC invites submissions on everything related to computing on the body:
on-body sensing and sensor networks; wearables for professional use,
mobile healthcare, or entertainment; wearability and interaction; and
“on-the-go” uses of mobile devices and systems. A submissions can be
a Full Paper (of maximum 8 pages), a Note (4 pages), or a Brief
(2 pages), and are due ** early April, 2015 **.

== Submissions ==

Each full paper, note, or brief should be anonymized and must be
submitted in ACM Computer Science Press (double column) format
(latex and word templates): Full papers not longer than 8 pages in
length, a note not longer than 4, a brief not longer than 2.
All accepted submissions will be included in the printed conference
main proceedings. Full papers and notes are presented in the paper
sessions. Submissions to ISWC 2015 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.
See also the ISWC Author Guide at
http://www.iswc.net/iswc15/calls/authorguide.html.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the TPC and
at least two external experts to reach a final decision on acceptance.

-- Full Paper --
Regular paper submissions must present original, highly innovative,
prospective and forward-looking research in one or more of the themes
given above. Full papers must break new ground, present new insight,
deliver a significant research contribution and provide validated support
for its results and conclusions. Successful submissions typically
represent a major advance for the field of wearable computing,
referencing and relating the contribution to existing research work,
giving a comprehensive, detailed and understandable explanation of
a device, system, study, theory or method, and support the findings
with a compelling evaluation and/or validation.

-- Note and Brief --
Note (not longer than four pages in length) and brief (not longer than
two pages in length) submissions must report new results and provide
support for the results, as a novel and valuable contribution to
the field – just like full papers. Notes are intended for succinct
work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for inclusion in
archival proceedings. A brief is intended to present very concise, yet
focused and significant research results. Both note and brief will be
held to the same standard of scientific quality as full papers,
albeit for a shorter presentation and must still state how they
fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation
and validation.
