Call for Papers

Interested workshop participants are invited to submit a research paper (6 pages in length, SIGCHI Extended Abstract format) on the topics of the workshop. Accepted contributions will be published in the UbiComp 2016 adjunct proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library.

The workshop solicits:

Conceptual papers describing proposals for novel methodologies, theories and principles that might be used in order to design, develop and build, analyse and operate massive collectives of wearables.

Observational, epistemological and user study papers to deliver evidence for possible future scenarios, and emerging platforms and technologies.

System-development papers proposing ingenious, novel HW/SW platforms.

Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Novel complex adaptive systems theories and operational principles.
  • Novel design principles for building complex adaptive systems.
  • Insights into evolutionary and emergent complex adaptive system properties.
  • Methodologies, Models, Algorithms, Frameworks and Tools for studying, analyzing and building complex adaptive systems.
  • Case-studies / very large scale scenarios that can serve as reference case for future superorganisms of collective wearables.

Submission Guidelines

All contributions must be submitted as a single PDF file using the OpenConf workshop paper submission system and follow the SIGCHI Extended Abstract Format.

Publishing

Accepted full papers will be included in the printed UbiComp 2016 adjunct proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library. The best workshop contributions will be invited to be included in an upcoming Special Issue of the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (IJPCC) or a Special Issue of the ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).
