Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ACM Workshop on wearable systems and applications, WearSys, held in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Mobile Systems and Applications (MobiSys), focuses on advances and discussions on how wearable technologies can shape mobile computing, systems, and application research. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers and design experts to discuss how wearable technologies have, and can, complement mobile system research, and vice versa. It also aims to provide a launchpad for bold and visionary ideas for wearable system research.
We solicit papers that present research in prototyping a wearable system, experience in designing a novel wearable technology, or survey of useful tools for designing interdisciplinary wearable systems and applications. We also encourage position papers that propose new directions for research or advocate disruptive design ideas and project applications. We also encourage submissions that can help to bootstrap exploration of the wearable design space by the broader mobile systems community.
Authors of selected high-qualified papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers (50% extensions of the contents of the conference paper) and contributions.
