ISWC 2007, the eleventh 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. We invite you to attend ISWC 2007 and submit to one or more of the following categories: papers, posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and exhibits.

Potential wearable computing topics for ISWC include, but are not limited to:

• 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.

Papers, posters, demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops must be submitted electronically through the submission web site, which will be linked off of the main web site at iswc.net. Papers and posters will be fully reviewed. Authors of accepted submissions will have the opportunity to update their submissions based on the reviews before the final electronic copy is due.

ISWC 2007 requires electronic submission. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication.

Papers may be submitted as short papers (up to four pages in length) or full papers (up to eight pages in length). Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5×11 inch two-column format (described at IEEE). Short papers should be the same quality as a long paper but describe work that is more incremental or more preliminary. Accepted short papers and full papers will be included in the printed conference proceedings and presented in the paper sessions. Paper authors are strongly encouraged to upload a supporting video of at most 5 minutes in length along with their paper submission.

Papers submitted to ISWC 2007 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the ISWC review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere.

Please address any questions about paper submissions to the program committee co-chairs, Bernt Schiele or Tapani Ryhanen.

Posters are submitted in the form of a summary of up to two pages in length. Each poster summary must be submitted as a single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5×11-inch two-column format (described at IEEE). Accepted poster summaries will be published in the conference proceedings and the poster will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session.

Please address any questions about poster submissions to the program committee co-chairs, Bernt Schiele or Tapani Ryhanen.
