(Paper Submission Deadline: 3rd August 2007)

Overview
========
The purpose of the colloquium is to offer graduate students interested
in the wearable/mixed and augmented reality fields an opportunity to
present their ideas and research plans and get feedback from the
community. 


Paper Submission
================
The student colloquium is split into two distinct tracks, pre and
post-proposal.  The pre-proposal track is oriented towards students in
the early stages of a graduate program.  The post-proposal track is
aimed for students researchers with a more well-defined research
topic. 

To this end you are invited to submit an abstract of a maximum of 3
pages including all figures and bibliography by 13th August to
[log in to unmask]  Please specify the track as either pre- or
post-proposal with each submission.  Since we aim to foster the
presentation of new ideas, including newly starting PhD projects,
results of experimental or theoretical evaluation is not a
prerequisite.  All abstracts will be peer reviewed on the basis of the
originality, soundness, and scientific merit of the research goals,
the quality of the presentation, and related work.  In addition the
reviewers will judge whether a plausible plan and appropriate methods
are proposed for conducting the planned research. 

The student colloquium will take place on the 10th of October (a day
before the main conference).  Authors of accepted abstracts are to
give a presentation of the research ideas and gather feedback from
well established researchers in the field.  Authors will also be
expected to present a poster of their work during demonstration
session at ISWC (October 12).

The abstracts will be published in the ISWC extended proceedings that
will be distributed during the conference and will be made available
to the public electronically.


Funding
=======
Funding for ISWC registration, travel and hotel is available and will
be distributed based on need and quality of submission.
