We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the 1st Workshop on Cloud and Server Support for Wearable Computing at MobiQuitous 2014. The workshop will be held at the 11th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Service (MobiQuitous 2014), in London, Great Britain.
Recent years have seen the dramatic increase in both the popularity and the capabilities of wearable computers. These devices provide unprecedented ability to track, measure, monitor, and interact with our environment and other devices and individuals. These abilities are augmented with backend cloud- and server-based analysis to gain insight, detect trends, spur interaction, as well as identify and correct problems and keep the devices operational. The rate, specificity, and timeliness of data collection combined with the ongoing personal interaction with the systems make the data problem qualitatively different than the existing big data challenges. Remotely updating, monitoring and maintaining these devices are also significant challenges for large scale operation.
The purpose of this workshop it to bring together practitioners, researcher, vendors, and scholars from the complementary fields of cloud infrastructure, data analytics, and wearable computers, in order to promote an exchange of ideas, develop common benchmarks and methodologies, discuss further collaborations and develop new research directions related to the back-end support for wearable computers.
