Please help the conference by forwarding this message to friends and colleagues. The advance registration deadline has been moved to Friday Oct. 3rd. The announcement has been changed to include this and now has information on the keynote on neuroprosthetics/implantables. CNN and other news agencies have expressed interest in covering the conference. Thad ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7th IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers OCTOBER 21-23, 2003 Crowne Plaza Hotel, White Plains, NY 10601 !!!UPDATE: Advance Registration rates now until Oct. 3, 5pm!!! http://www.iswc.net ISWC 2003, the seventh annual IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, will bring together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and other interested parties to share information and advances in wearable computing. ISWC is a peer-reviewed forum for the exchange of the most recent results in the field, and routinely attracts attendees from industry, military, government, and academia. This year, Dr. Michael S. Okun, Co-Director Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at University of Florida, will be giving the keynote on implantable electronics for the brain to control movement disorders. The web site now contains an abstract of Dr. Okun's talk and a detailed schedule for the conference. In addition, a press release is being added to the web site, previewing some of the technologies to be discussed and demonstrated. =========================================================================== Topics include: * Applications of wearable systems in consumer, industrial, medical, educational, and military domains. * Use of wearable computers as components of larger systems, such as augmented reality systems, training systems, or systems designed to support collaborative work. * Hardware, including wearable system design, input devices, wearable displays, batteries, techniques for power management and heat dissipation, industrial design, and manufacturing issues. * Software architectures, including ones that allow wearable computers to exploit surrounding infrastructure. * Human interfaces, including hands-free approaches, speech-based interaction, sensory augmentation, human-centered robotics, user modeling, user evaluation, and health issues. * Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, and support for interaction with other wearables and the Internet. * Experimental research that rigorously compares using wearables to other methods or technologies for performing the same task, such as traditional methods or handheld computers. * Operating systems, including such issues as scheduling, security, and power management. * Social implications and privacy issues. * Wearable computing for people with disabilities. * Fashion design, smart clothes, and electronic textiles. -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
