Over the last several years, we have seen a rapid evolution
in the construction, capabilities and application of smart
appliances and devices, PDAs, and wearable computers. Coupled
with collaborative computing technologies these devices
enable a wealth of new applications and prospective solutions.
This workshop offers the opportunity for in-depth exploration
of selected topics and for presentation of the most recent
research and development findings in this rapidly changing field.

Technical papers on smart devices and wearable computing are
solicited for oral presentation at IWSAWC 2002. IWSAWC 2002 is
the second workshop of the IWSAWC series. Papers reporting new
developments in computing with smart devices such as PDAs,
wearable computers, and cellular phones including but not
limited to those aspects listed below, are invited.

- Home Networks
- Portable Devices and Smart Sensors
- Wearable Computers and PDAs
- Software Architecture for Home/Smart Appliances
- Handheld CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work)
- Wireless-phone Computing
- Location-dependent Computing
- Context-aware Computing
- Pervasive Computing
