7th IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers
OCTOBER 21-23, 2003
Crowne Plaza Hotel, White Plains, NY 10601
http://iswc.net
!!!Advanced Registration due September 26 5pm!!!
ISWC 2003, the seventh 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 300
attendees from industry, military, government, and academia.
The advance program is below. Advance registration ends Sept. 26 5pm
EST, and hotel rooms are being held until September 29 5pm EST.
Please join us for an exciting conference!
===========================================================================
Topics include:
* Applications of wearable systems in consumer, industrial,
medical, 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, and health issues.
* Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, and
support for interaction with other wearables and the Internet.
* Experimental research that rigorously compares using wearables
to other methods or technologies for performing the same task, such as
traditional methods or handheld computers.
* Operating systems, including such issues as scheduling,
security, and power management.
* Social implications and privacy issues.
* Wearable computing for people with disabilities.
* Fashion design, smart clothes, and electronic textiles.
