IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC'99) http://iswc.gatech.edu/ October 18-19, 1999 Cathedral Hill Hotel San Francisco, CA, USA EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS SEPTEMBER 24, 1999 INVITATION The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society through the IEEE Wearable Information Systems Technical Committee. The purpose of ISWC is to bring together researchers, product vendors, research sponsors, and others to share information and advances in wearable computing. The conference will include presentations, exhibitions, demos, and poster sessions. This year, the Second International Workshop on Augmented Reality (IWAR) '99 is co-located with ISWC and convenes on the following two days (http://hci.rsc.rockwell.com/iwar/99/). Due to demand, please reserve your hotel room as soon as possible. CONFERENCE TOPICS The topics for ISWC may include: * Applications, including augmented reality, computer-supported collaborative work, computer-supported cooperative living, ubiquitous computing, personal imaging, consumer applications, industrial applications, medical applications, military applications, and software agents. * Hardware, including head-mounted display technologies, batteries, power management, heat dissipation techniques, industrial design techniques, and manufacturing & packaging issues. * Human Interface, including hands-free user speech recognition, mobility-challenged users, user modeling, user evaluations, and health issues. * Networks, including wireless networks, on-body networks, the World Wide Web, and networked vs. standalone computers. * Operating Systems * Social implications * Privacy Issues * Software Architectures * Ergonomics * Training * Future of Wearable Computing Invited Speakers: Situated Computing Anatole V.
