Internet of Wearable Things Workshop (IoWT'2016) https://sites.google.com/site/iowt2016/ https://sites.google.com/site/iowt2016/ March 10, 2016. Sonoma, California. Co-located with IUI'2016.
Call for papers: ================ The IoWT workshop is the first workshop that is aimed at focusing on wearable-computing and its intersection with the Ineternet-of-Things (IoT) for the creation of innovative solutions. This focal point is in good fit with the IUI conference overall aim to blend between HCI and the AI communities, and also between academia and industry. Consequently, the proposed workshop is aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in wearable-computing based applications, including also the interesting interplay between this emerging field and the more mature areas of mobile and ubiquitous computing.
The blending of IoT and wearables enables the creation of new solutions that combine data of multiple sensors and data stores as the basis for a more intimate and timely interaction with the user, and high level of situational awareness. Special attention may be given to the creation of innovative solutions, not only applicable to consumers, but also to the enterprise. This can possibly be the basis for newly created business services.
From the scientific point of view, the enablement of new wearable-based
solutions requires synergy among multiple disciplines, such as Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Human-Computer Interaction, Data and Knowledge Representation, Information Visualization, Computational Neurosciences, and even Education. For example, there are many implications to mental and emotional signals that can be revealed via the use of wearables (e.g., EEG, heart-rate variability, GSR) as a means to determine whether the user is capable of performing her tasks, let it be a field worker, a combat pilot, a stock broker, or an elder user living alone.
From the practical point of view, it is critical to not only study the
theoretical foundations but also accumulate and generalize the knowledge that is gathered by industry in building corresponding technological infrastructures, methods, and tools to ease the development and operation of wearable-centric solutions across different markets (e.g., wellness & healthcare, banking, insurance, security & safety, transportation).
We invite researchers and practitioners from the corresponding fields to submit papers that investigate the different perspectives underlying the most recent advances pertaining to the intersection between wearable-enabled computing and the IoT, with a focus on enabling enterprise innovation. We aim at discussing the current state of ongoing research, novel approaches, with intention to also provide a stimulating focused platform for sharing practical experiences and business models (e.g., bring your own wearable device).
The list of topics that is relevant to the Internet of Wearable Things includes, but is not limited to:
* Wearable and ubiquitous computing. * Wearable-computing delivery platforms for the enterprise. * Wearables and nearables as-a service. * Wearable data analytics for multiple / parallel / massive data streams. * Human-activity recognition. * Human-behavior / capability augmentation. * Gesture and pattern detection. * Brain-computer interaction. * Multi-modal / multi-sensory / immersive interactions. * Body-worn sensors, cameras, head-mounted displays. * Semantic integration of multiple data streams. * Body-worn device advances. * Wearable-based enterprise applications and services. * Mobile back-end as-a hub/gateway. * Low-power / energy efficient computing. * Wearable technology adoption and business models. * Wearable-computing related API economy / standards / protocols / best-practices. * Sensor networks, mesh, BANs, and ad-hoc computing.
Workshop papers will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings ( http://ceur-ws.org/ http://ceur-ws.org/).
Paper submission: ================= Papers should be up to 8 pages in length. All submissions must be formatted using the SigCHI format and submitted via the easyChair system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iowt2016 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iowt2016. Use either the Microsoft Word template or the LaTeX template. All papers must be submitted as a PDF file. The workshop program committee will review all submitted papers. Accepted papers may be published online at the conference web site. Submission implies that at least one author will register and attend the conference if the paper is accepted.
