*Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications (WearSys 2016)To be held in conjunction with MobiSys 2016 at Singapore*

WearSys workshop focuses on advances and discussions on how wearable technologies can shape mobile computing, systems and applications research. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers and design experts to discuss how wearable technologies have, and can, complement mobile systems research, and vice-versa. It also aims to provide a launchpad for bold and visionary ideas for wearable systems research.

The WearSys 2016 marks the second year of the workshop (WearSys 2015 https://sites.google.com/site/wearsys2015/ was held in Florence, Italy.) and comes at a critical time-juncture where wearable devices are proliferating commercially, and when mobile systems research is increasingly adopting wearable devices; mostly for primary and auxiliary sensing. The off-the-shelf availability of wearable devices today has only improved and shaped new directions for mobile and wireless systems research. This is an exciting time where wearables are seeming to spearhead advancements in technology through inter-disciplinary research among a broad spectrum of disciplines such as wireless systems, health, fashion, energy – to name a few. We hope that this workshop will serve as a catalyst for advancements in mobile and wearable systems technology as well as present a clear sense of direction for the research community to proceed in this space.

General questions regarding the workshop can be emailed to wearsys .mobisys16@gmail.com

*Call For Submissions (paper, poster, demo)*

The ACM Workshop on wearable systems and applications (WearSys) is focused on wearable technologies that can shape mobile computing, systems and applications research. WearSys will provide a venue for presenting current research and technology trends, and debating future research agendas of wearable technology. It will provide a forum for discussing innovative and/or ideas that have potential for significant impact.

We solicit papers of six or fewer pages that present preliminary research in prototyping a wearable system, experience in designing a novel wearable technology, or survey of useful tools for designing interdisciplinary wearable systems and applications. We also encourage position papers that propose new directions for research or advocate disruptive design ideas and project applications. We also encourage submissions that can help bootstrap exploration of the wearable design space by the broader mobile systems community. The focus areas include, but not limited to,

· Smart Glass, wearable imaging, projection and low-power displays

· Wearable fashion (Smart watch, wristbands, amulets, body suits)

· Capacitive sensing and On-body communication

· Wearable health and fitness activity tracking

· Ubiquitous Input Devices

· Novel energy management solutions (eg. swappable batteries, solar harvesting)

· Context sensitive notification delivery

· Wearable biometrics for payment and authentication

· Haptics and cognitive prosthetics

· Body energy harnessing

· Brain-interfaces

· Electromyography (EMG) interfaces

· Wearable fashion (eg. smart jackets, body suits, amulets)

· Novel combinations of 3D printing and Wearables (eg. integration with custom 3D printed sensors/encl.)

· Wearable infrastructure and toolkits (hardware/software, custom/open source)

Workshop papers will be included with the MobiSys 2016 proceedings and posted in the ACM Digital Library.

Detailed formatting guidelines and access to the submission portal can be found at *http://mns.ucdenver.edu/wearsys2016/submission.html http://mns.ucdenver.edu/wearsys2016/submission.html*
