[AISWorld] CfP HICSS 49 Minitrack: Wearables and Quantified Self

[Tayfun Keskin]

Call for Papers

Wearables and Quantified Self Minitrack @ Decision Analytics, Mobile Services, and Service Science Track
http://www.hicss.org/#!wearable-and-quantified-self/c10s1

The purpose of the minitrack is to draw researchers' attention to the emerging area of wearable technologies and quantified self concepts. Information systems are getting closer to our bodies, and the boundary between the user and the machine is blurring. Wearable intelligence is the next chapter of the mobile revolution in emerging technologies. Wearables are not just a consumer phenomenon; they have the potential to change the way organizations conduct business. For example, data collected by wearable medical devices has the potential to disrupt many industries including healthcare and insurance. There is need for research to investigate this phenomenon.

This minitrack will focus on the role of wearable technologies and the data collected through wearables. Areas of wearable computing research include user interface design, augmented reality, pattern recognition, and wireless and personal area network technologies. We encourage authors to submit conceptual, design and empirical work relevant to wearables and quantified self areas.

We solicit papers in various topics, including, but not limited to the following:
* Theories regarding wearable intelligence and quantified self
* Challenges in managing wearables and the data collected through them
* New methods to analyze wearable intelligence
* Analytical models for the wearables industry
* Process-redesign for the wearable technologies
* Case studies on wearables and quantified self
* Quantified self and big-data analyses, analytical models, and simulations
* System design, and application areas
* Impact on user interface design, augmented reality, and wireless networks
* Integrating wearables into larger systems (such as augmented reality systems, training systems, and platforms for collaborative work)
* Behavioral models
* Management of wearable devices
* Cultural and social implications of adopting wearable computing devices
* Privacy, personal safety, and quality of life issues

Submission deadline: June 15, 2015
