            International Symposium on Wearable Computers
            September 13-17, 2014, Seattle (Washington, US)

ISWC 2014 <http://www.iswc.net/>, 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.

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.*

    Areas of Interest

    Submissions

Each full paper, note, or poster should be anonymized and must be submitted
in ACM Computer Science Press (double column) format ( latex <
http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/file /ISWC_LaTex.zip> and word <
http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/files/ISWC_Word_template.doc> 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 http://www.iswc.net/iswc14/calls/authorguide.html.

      Full Papers

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.

      Notes and Posters

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.

    Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters

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.
