Call for Papers
Track Chairs:
Raffaele Gravina, University of Calabria, Italy
Hassan Ghasemzadeh, Washington State University, USA
Scope and Motivation:
Computing has evolved from typical desktop, laptop and high-end servers, to pervasive scenarios where wearable smart objects and mobile devices are essential to provide final users with uninterrupted services in mobility. The set of personal devices has expanded in the last years, and new smart wearable accessories and mobile devices constantly appear in the market. Wearable computing systems have extremely diversified applications spanning from mobile health, wellness, virtual and augmented reality, security, affective human-machine interaction, among others. To effectively support this growing technology, methods, tools, techniques, as well as design, implementation, simulation, and deployment middleware and platforms have appeared to cope with the several related challenges that arise at all levels of abstraction from device, network, middleware, data processing, to high-level analysis and machine learning.
In this context, the “Wearable Computing Systems: Devices, Services and Applications” Track seeks innovative and significant research results examining the design, evaluation, and deployment of wearable and mobile devices, services, and applications.
