PURPOSE & SCOPE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We invite researchers, practitioners, educators, students, and others interested in smart appliances, devices and sensors to the 5th International Workshop on Smart Appliances and Wearable Computing (IWSAWC 2004). This workshop serves as a forum for the exchange of new findings in collaborative technologies for smart and wearable devices and smart appliances deployed in both lab and real world environments. It further offers an opportunity for in-depth exploration of selected topics and for the presentation of the most recent research and development findings in these rapidly changing fields.
TOPICS ~~~~~~ Technical papers on smart appliances and collaborative technologies are solicited for oral presentation at IWSAWC 2005. Papers reporting new developments in computing with smart devices such as PDAs, wearable computers, and cellular phones, including but not limited to those listed below, are invited.
- Enabling Technologies for Appliances in Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing - Collaboration concepts and techniques for smart devices - Infrastructure components for Ubiquitous Computing - Home and Office Appliances - Portable Devices and Smart Sensors - Wireless-phone Computing - Home Networks and Wearable Networks - Networks for Ubiquitous Computing - Security and Privacy Aspects for Ubiquitous Computing - Wearable Computers and PDAs - Software and Service Architectures for Home/Smart Appliances - Location-dependent and context-aware Computing
