Topics

Potential wearable computing topics for ISWC include, but are not limited to: All submissions are due on the ISWC website on Sunday, May 23.

Papers

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 format (described at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). 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 2004 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, Bruce Thomas (bruce.thomas [at] unisa.edu.au) or Mark Smith (msmith [at] hpl.hp.lab).

Posters

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 format (described at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). 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, Bruce Thomas (bruce.thomas [at] unisa.edu.au) or Mark Smith (msmith [at] hpl.hp.lab).

Demonstrations

Demonstrations provide an opportunity to show research prototypes and works in progress to colleagues for comment in a relaxed atmosphere. Paper and poster presenters are also highly encouraged to demonstrate their work. Accommodations (power, space, etc.) will be limited, so participants should plan to be mobile and self-supported. To apply to perform an informal demonstration, please prepare a one-page summary that describes what you plan to demonstrate. Include pictures and diagrams, so that your proposed demonstration can be clearly understood, and provide a clear description of the power and space requirements. Accepted demonstrations will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session; however, they will not be published in the conference proceedings.

Please address any questions about demonstration submissions to the Demonstrations Chair, Cliff Randell (cliff [at] compsci.bristol.ac.uk).

Tutorials

We invite you to share your wearable-related knowledge with other conference attendees in a tutorial format. A tutorial is an intensive couse on a special topic. Half-day tutorials and advanced tutorials will be held on Sunday, October 31. Tutorials are intended to enhance the skills and broaden the perspective of their attendees. They should be designed to introduce a rigorous framework for learning a new area or to provide advanced technical training in an area. A two-page tutorial proposal should include a clear description of the topic area, objectives, and the intended audience (experience level and prerequisites). Tutorial proposals should also include a 200-word abstract, a topical outline of the content, and a summary of the qualifications of the instructor(s). Be sure to include the contact name, affiliation, address, telephone number, electronic mail address, and associated URL for each instructor or organizer.

Please address any questions about tutorial submissions to the Tutorials Chair, Francine Gemperle (fg24 [at] andrew.cmu.edu).

Exhibits

We invite you to exhibit your products, designs, services, or research projects during the conference. Exhibits will be available continuously in a venue near the meeting room. Exhibitors will show their products and distribute promotional literature to interested conference attendees.

The number of exhibitors that are accepted for the conference will be limited by available space. To apply to be an exhibitor, write a summary of the product, service, or research project that you hope to exhibit, describing why it will interest the conference attendees. The summary should not exceed 500 words (one page) in length. Be sure to include in the summary the exhibitor names, affiliations, addresses, telephone numbers, electronic mail addresses, and URL. Also, identify the contact person for the exhibition. Applications to exhibit at ISWC 2004, and any questions should exhibiting, should be submitted by email directly to Tom Martin (tlmartin [at] vt.edu)

Gadget Show

The Gadget Show has been quite popular in previous years, so we are going to do it again. Come to the conference with your best toys for an informal show-and-tell.
