The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is a conference dedicated to cutting-edge research in wearable technologies, and is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. Every year, ISWC brings together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related professionals to share information and advances in wearable computing. ISWC is scheduled to include dedicated workshops, a juried design competition, a lively gadget show, and high-quality paper presentation sessions revealing the latest in wearable computing progress.
ISWC 2015 will be held at Knowledge Capital Congrès Convention Center, inside Grand Front Osaka, and is collocated with the ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp'15).
