Workshop on Body-Centric Computing Systems (Previously Wearsys)

ACM Bodysys 2021 Workshops

BODYSYS

BodySys workshop focuses on advances and discussions on how body-centric (human/animals) computing technologies can shape mobile computing, systems, and applications research. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum to bring together researchers and de-sign experts to discuss how wearable, body-centric, and user-in-the-loop technologies have, and can, complement mobile systems research, and vice-versa. It also aims to provide a launchpad for bold and visionary ideas for systems research in this space.

We solicit papers of six or fewer pages that present preliminary research in areas of body-centric computing, including efforts on prototyping a system, experiences in designing a novel technology, or survey of useful tools for designing inter-disciplinary 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 sub-missions that can help bootstrap exploration of the body-centric computing space by the broader mobile systems community.

The focus areas include, but not limited to,

• Human-in the loop systems	• Physical rehabilitation systems
• Sensing and Computing for Animals or Pets	• XR wearables, wearable imaging, projection and low-power displays
• Capacitive sensing and On-body communication	• Wearable health and wellness including activity monitoring, physiological sensing
• 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) interfacesWearable fashion (eg. smart jackets, bodysuits, amulets), smart fabrics
• AI on wearables: on-device ML/DL for wearable computing	• Novel combinations of 3D printing and Wear- ables (eg. integration with custom 3D printed sen- sors/encl.) Wearable infrastructure and toolkits (hardware/software, custom/open source)

Submissions can be of the following formats:
We solicit papers of 6 or fewer pages that present preliminary research in areas of body-centric computing, including efforts on prototyping a system, experiences in designing a novel technology, or survey of useful tools for designing inter-disciplinary systems and applications.
We solicit position papers of 1-2 pages 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 body-centric computing space by the broader mobile systems community. These submissions can also be submitted as a poster or demo paper (1-2 pages).
All submissions should comply with MobiSys guidelines . The reviewing process will be double–blind.
