ISWC 2013, the 17th annual International Symposium on Wearable Computers, is the premier forum for wearable computing and issues related to on-body and worn mobile technologies. ISWC brings together researchers, product vendors, fashion designers, textile manufacturers, users, and related professionals to share information and advances in wearable computing.

ISWC invites submissions on everything related to computing on the body: on-body sensing and sensor networks, wearables for professional use, mobile healthcare, or entertainment; wearable-wearer interaction, and “on-the-go” uses of mobile devices and systems. Submissions can be full papers, notes, or posters, and are due the 12th of April 2013. Notification will be 5 weeks later.

ISWC is collocated with ACM UbiComp 2013 and will be held in the city of Zurich in Switzerland.
