Call For Papers

ISWC 2020, the 24th annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers, is the premier forum for research on wearable technology and topics related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings together an eclectic and interdisciplinary mix of visionary researchers, developers, designers, artists, manufacturers, and users to share information and advances in wearable technology. Contributions from a wide range of domains — including fashion design, computer science, textile engineering, electrical engineering, optics, human factors, sociology, anthropology, mechanical engineering, and medicine; among others — are encouraged.

ISWC was established as a conference in 1997, building on the success of a workshop the year before at Boeing. ISWC co-located with the International Conference on Pervasive Computing for several years. In 2013 with the merger of Pervasive and UbiComp, which had existed since 1999 and 2002 respectively, ISWC began co-locating with the merged conference.

ISWC invites submissions on all research related to technology that is worn on or interacts with the body, both the development and deployment thereof as well as the impacts and influences on individuals and cultures. ISWC looks for rigorous research contributions as well as highly creative ideas in a shorter format. While this call focuses specifically on research contributions, interested parties should be aware that other submission categories are also open for design innovation, system demonstrations, and interactive workshop formats (see iswc.net for more information).

SUBMISSION TYPES AND PROCEDURES

ISWC accepts contributions of original, unpublished research in three lengths for blind, peer-reviewed manuscripts published and archived in the ACM Digital Library:

FULL PAPERS

Substantial, rigorous research contributions. From this year onwards, ISWC no longer considers full paper submissions but will instead invite papers published in IMWUT (https://dl.acm.org/journal/imwut) for presentation at ISWC which will be jointly held with UbiComp (http://ubicomp.org/ubicomp2020/). Papers that have a clear focus on wearables and have been published in IMWUT Issue 4 of 2019 or Issues 1-3 of 2020, will be invited to ISWC 2020.

Follow the IMWUT Author Guidelines (https://dl.acm.org/journal/imwut/author-guidelines) for preparing your full papers. The online submissions system is available at: https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions, selecting IMWUT under submissions. For IMWUT papers related to ISWC, please select the option “wearable” under “Contribution Area”.

Past Conferences

The ACM international joint conference on pervasive and ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned conferences in the field: pervasive and ubicomp. while it retains the name of the latter in recognition of the visionary work of mark weiser, its long name reflects the dual history of the new event. a complete list of both ubicomp and pervasive past conferences is provided below.
