CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: ISWC 2006
http://iswc.net
The Tenth International Symposium on Wearable Computers
Oct. 11-14, 2006, Montreux, Switzerland
The advance program and registration are now available at iswc.net
In cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society and ITG (The Information
Technology Society).
Sponsored by Nokia.
ISWC 2006, the eighth annual IEEE International Symposium on Wearable
Computers, will bring together researchers, product vendors, fashion
designers, textile manufacturers, users, and all other interested
parties to share information and advances in wearable computing.
ISWC is a peer-reviewed, academic-style forum for the exchange of the most
recent results, and the conference routinely attracts more than 200
attendees from industry, military, government, and academia.
The advance program is available at http://iswc.net.
Advance registration ends on Oct 4.
Please join us for an exciting conference!
Highlights for ISWC 2006:
o Keynote speakers:
* Masahiko Inami from the University of Electro-Communications in
Tokyo, Japan with a talk entitled "Augmented Human Perception:
Interfaces to Enhance the Human Capacity for Perception and
Expression"
* Michael Lawo from the University of Bremen in Bremen, Germany
with a talk entitled "wearIT@work - Towards Real Life
Industrial Applications of Wearable Computing"
o Four tutorials:
* "Humans: a Tutorial" by Lucy Dunne and Jane McCann from the
University College of Dublin, Ireland
* "On-Body Sensing" by Daniel Ashbrook and Tracy Westeyn from
Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
* "Wearable Computing for Persons with Disabilities" by Maribeth
Gandy from Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
* "Hands-on Activity Context Recognition" by Oliver Amft, David
Bannach, Kai Kunze and Paul Lucowicz from ETH Zurich, Switzerland,
the Institute for Embedded Systems in Passau, Germany and UMIT in
Innsbruck, Austria
o Student and Newbie Colloquium
o The Student Design Competition
o Co-located with UIST, the ACM symposium on User Interface Software
and Technology, held October 15-18 in Montreux (http://uist.org)
o And as always, exhibits, research demonstrations and the Gadget Show!
Topics include:
* Applications of wearable systems in consumer, industrial,
medical, wellness, educational, and military domains.
* Use of wearable computers as components of larger systems, such as
augmented reality systems, training systems or systems designed to
support collaborative work.
* Hardware, including wearable system design, input devices,
wearable displays, batteries, techniques for power management and heat
dissipation, industrial design, and manufacturing issues.
* Software architectures, including ones that allow wearable
computers to exploit surrounding infrastructure.
* Human interfaces, including hands-free approaches, speech-based
interaction, sensory augmentation, human-centered robotics, user
modeling, user evaluation, health issues and interfaces for combining
wearable and ubiquitous computing.
* Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, and
support for interaction with other wearables, ubiquitous-computing
systems or the Internet.
* Formal evaluation of wearable computer technologies for example
performance of wearable computer technologies or comparisons of existing
technologies.
* Wearable sensors or networks of sensors for context-awareness or
sensing cognitive state.
* Wearable communities and wearable technology for social-network
computation, visualization and augmentation.
* Operating systems issues related to wearable computing, including
such issues as scheduling, security, and power management.
* Social implications and privacy issues.
* Wearable computing for elder enablement and for people with
disabilities.
* Fashion design, smart clothes, and electronic textiles.
