It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 ACM Workshop on Wearable Systems and Applications -- WearSys 2016. The WearSys workshop is inspired by the fact that wearables are spearheading advancements in technology through inter-disciplinary research among a broad spectrum of disciplines such as mobile wireless, health, fashion, energy, just to name a few. The 2nd ACM Workshop on wearable systems and applications, WearSys2016, is focused 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 call for papers attracted a total of 9 submissions from all over the world. The program committee reviewed and accepted 5 full papers. The reviewing process was single-blind (the reviewers' identity withheld from authors).
The workshop will also include a keynote and feature invited talks from personnel from academia as well as industry. We also encourage attendees to attend the panel session that will feature eminent academic and industry personalities working in diverse areas.
