the 18th annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers, is the
premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and
worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings together researchers, product
vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related
professionals to share information and advances in wearable technology.<br>
<br>ISWC invites submissions on everything related to computing on the
body: on-body sensing and sensor networks; wearables for professional
use, mobile healthcare, or entertainment; wearability and interaction;
and “on-the-go” uses of mobile devices and systems. Submissions can be
full papers, notes, or posters, and are *due April 4, 2014*, with
*abstracts due March 28.*<br>

full paper, note, or poster should be anonymized and must be submitted
in ACM Computer Science Press (double column) format ( latex <<a href="http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/file" target="_blank">http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/file</a> /ISWC_LaTex.zip> and word <<a href="http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/files/ISWC_Word_template.doc" target="_blank">http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/files/ISWC_Word_template.doc</a>>
templates): full papers not longer than 8 pages in length, notes not
longer than 4, posters not longer than 2. All accepted submissions will
be included in the printed conference main proceedings. Full papers and
notes are presented in the paper sessions. Submissions to ISWC 2014 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. See also the ISWC Author Guide at <a href="http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/authorguide.html" target="_blank">http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/authorguide.html</a>.<br>
<br> Full Papers<br><br>Regular paper submissions must present
original, highly innovative, prospective and forward-looking research in
one or more of the themes given above. Full papers must break new
ground, present new insight, deliver a significant research contribution
and provide validated support for its results and conclusions.
Successful submissions typically represent a major advance for the field
of wearable computing, referencing and relating the contribution to
existing research work, giving a comprehensive, detailed and
understandable explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method,
and support the findings with a compelling evaluation and/or
validation.<br>
<br> Notes and Posters<br><br>Notes (not longer than four pages in
length) and posters (not longer than two pages in length) must report
new results and provide support for the results, as a novel and valuable
contribution to the field – just like full papers. Notes are intended
for succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for
inclusion in archival proceedings. Posters are intended to present very
concise, yet focused and significant research results. Both notes and
posters will be held to the same standard of scientific quality as full
papers, albeit for a shorter presentation and must still state how they
fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation
and validation.<br>
<br> Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters<br><br>ISWC 2014
adopts a double-blind process for full papers, notes and posters.
Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned
anywhere in the submission. At least two members of the Program
Committee and a set of external expert reviewers will review submitted
papers. At a physical PC meeting, the committee will select those
papers, notes, and posters to be presented at ISWC 2014.<br>
