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.) |
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.
