>   *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
