[ExI] Fwd: [Wearables] Fw: International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC'09): Last Call for Late Breaking Results, Design Contest and Video Papers (June 3rd 2009)

Thu May 28 19:02:25 UTC 2009

This is a field that not too many of us here are involved with, but I  
do have friends who are leading designers and I hope they will be  
presenting. One is Laura Beloff who is amazing.  Here is her work:

>>   *ISWC'09 CALL FOR LATE BREAKING RESULTS*
>>   *DESIGN CONTEST, VIDEO PAPERS AND DEMOS*
>>
>>   ISWC'09, the thirteenth annual IEEE International
>> Symposium  on
>>   Wearable Computers, is the premier forum for
>> wearable computing
>>   and  issues  related  to
>> on-body and worn mobile technologies.
>>   ISWC'09  will  bring  together
>> researchers,  product  vendors,
>>   fashion  designers,  textile
>> manufacturers, users, and related
>>   professionals to share information  and
>> advances  in  wearable
>>   computing.  ISWC'09  explicitly
>> aims  to  broaden its scope to
>>   include cell phones and cell phone
>> applications  as  they  have
>>   become the most successful wearable computer to
>> date.
>>
>>   ISWC'09  invites  to submit original work
>> in one or more of the
>>   following formats: full papers, notes,
>> posters,  late  breaking
>>   results,  demonstrations,  videos,
>> tutorials and workshops. As
>>   already successfully performed in the past,
>> this  year's  ISWC
>>   also   invites  for
>> a  contest  of  wearable  system
>> designs,
>>   encouraging academic  and
>> industrial  design,  media  and  art
>>   authorities to submit conceptual work in a creative,
>> inspiring,
>>   innovative and future oriented style.
>>
>>   For  first time, ISWC'09 will publish adjunct
>> proceedings which
>>   will  include  the  late
>> breaking   results,   video   papers,
>>   demonstrations, design papers of selected
>> workshops.
>>
>>
>>
>>   *SUBMISSIONS*
>>
>>   *Late Breaking Results*
>>   This  submission  format aims at
>> presenting very topical issues
>>   and late breaking application oriented results in
>> all areas  of
>>   wearable  computing.  Just
>> like  regular papers, late breaking
>>   results should  present  directing
>> research,  but  in  a  very
>>   focused  and  compact  format.
>> Late  breaking  results are not
>>   understood as short papers condensed into less page
>> space,  but
>>   are  intended  to  present
>> pointed  results at a high level of
>>   technicality.  LBR  submissions
>> can  gain  from  an  "extended
>>   submission deadline" (June 3, 2009), and should be
>> formatted in
>>   Springer LNCS single column format,  not
>> exceeding  8  pages).
>>   They will undergo a scientific reviewing process
>> managed by the
>>   LBR  program  committee  under
>> the  steering of the LBR chair.
>>   Accepted LBRs will be presented at the conference,
>> and will  be
>>   published  in  the "Advances in Wearable
>> Computing" book of the
>>   OCG
>> (adjunct   proceedings),   accompanying   the   conference
>>   proceedings.
>>
>>   *Video Papers*
>>   Submissions  (deadline June 3, 2009)
>> are  invited  to  present
>>   novel wearable computing systems,  devices or
>> just designs,  or
>>   demonstrate  innovative styles of
>> interaction or usability  of
>>   those systems  -  in a lively
>> format:  as a video.  Video clips
>>   should  be no longer than  8 minutes and
>> be accompanied by a  4
>>   page  (or approx.  2000 words)
>> written  summary.  Video  paper
>>   submissions should be formatted in  Springer
>> LNCS single column
>>   format, and not exceeding 4 pages).  Accepted
>> video papers will
>>   be  published in the  "Advances in
>> Wearable Computing" book  of
>>   the
>> OCG,   accompanying   the
>> conference   proceedings.   The
>>   author(s)   of  a
>> video  are  expected  to  present
>> a   brief
>>   introduction  at the conference, while all full
>> videos will  be
>>   presented  during the ISWC'09  night show
>> - a special event  in
>>   the  frame  of the  30th
>> anniversary  of  the  Ars  Electronica
>>   Festival.  Video  papers  will
>> be  published  in  the  ISWC'09
>>   adjunct  proceedings, all video clips will be
>> presented in  the
>>   ISWC'09 Video DVD.
>>
>>   *Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters, LBRs
>> and Videos*
>>   ISWC'09  will  adopt  a
>> double-blind  process for full papers,
>>   notes and posters - as well as for late
>> breaking  results  and
>>   video papers. Authors' names and their affiliations
>> must not be
>>   revealed  or mentioned anywhere in the
>> submission. Please refer
>>   to  the  paper  submission
>> link  at  the
>> conference   website
>>   (www.iswc.net).  Questions  about the
>> papers, notes and posters
>>   should be directed to progchair at iswc.net,
>> about  late  breaking
>>   results  submissions  to  lbrchair at iswc.net,
>> and  about  video
>>   papers to videochair at iswc.net.
>>
>>   *Demos*
>>
>> Demonstrations   provide   an   opportunity
>> to  show  research
>>   prototypes and works-in-progress to colleagues for
>> comment in a
>>   relaxed atmosphere. Both independent
>> demonstrations  and  those
>>
>> accompanying   accepted   papers   and   posters
>> are  welcome.
>>   Demonstrations will not be published  in
>> the  main  conference
>>   proceedings,  but  will be included in the
>> adjunct proceedings.
>>   Accommodations (power,  space,
>> etc...)  will  be  limited,  so
>>   participants  should  plan  to be
>> mobile and self-supported. To
>>   apply to perform a demonstration, please submit (i)
>> a  one-page
>>   summary  that describes what you plan to
>> demonstrate, including
>>   a 200 word abstract (ii) a photo or diagram to
>> be  included  in
>>   the  demonstration handout alongside the
>> abstract (minimum size
>>   640 x 480 pixels),  and  (iii)
>> to  demonstrations at iswc.net
>> by
>>   Monday, July 13, 2009.   Only the
>> abstract will be included  in
>>   the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book (adjunct
>> proceedings),
>>   the rest of the summary will be used to judge
>> the  quality  of
>>   the submission.
>>
>>   *Design Contest*
>>   Participating at the ISWC design contest is a great
>> opportunity
>>   to  showcase  your  product
>> or  prototype  to  the  leaders in
>>   wearable computing. The design contest will
>> take  place  during
>>   the  conference banquet dinner on Sunday,
>> September 6, 2009 and
>>   can be used to demonstrate your "smart
>> gadgets"  (plan  to  be
>>   mobile  and  self-supported).
>> Contributions are encouraged from
>>   all areas of wearable computing, from technologies
>> to textiles,
>>   from potential employers to product vendors. Please
>> submit your
>>   proposals   (a  one-page
>> summary  describing  your  prototype,
>>
>> including   a   200
>> word
>> abstract   and   photos/videos)   to
>>   designcontest at iswc.net
>> at the latest by Wednesday June 3, 2009.
>>   Direct
>> questions   related   to   the   Design   Contest   to

>>
>>   *Tutorials and Workshops*
>>   Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format
>> via E-mail
>>   to  workshops at iswc.net
>> by February 1, 2009. The workshops will
>>   provide  a  forum  to

>> of   wearable
>>   computing  in  focus groups. State of the
>> art tutorials will be
>>   presented  by
>> experienced,   distinguished   presenters.   The
>>   workshops  and tutorials will take place on
