         1st Workshop on Life with Wearables in Smart Rooms 
(LIFEWEAR2018)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
         Website: http://st.inf.tu-dresden.de/LIFEWEAR-2018 

In conjunction with the Smart System Integration Conference 2018 in 
Dresden, April 11, 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------------

With the advent of standard sensor-actuator platforms for wearable 
devices, such smart watches (e.g., Apple Watch), smartglasses (e.g., 
Microsoft Hololens), smart clothing (e.g., data gloves), exoskeletons, 
and many more, people carry multiple devices simultaneously. This trend 
imposes completely new challenges to software engineers w.r.t. 
adaptivity, distribution, interaction, system integration, data 
handling, resiliency, security and software architectures.

Software engineering helps to design and develop complex systems by 
automating the development process concentrating on different levels of 
abstraction. Model-driven techniques must be
established to improve the quality (e.g., re-usability, reliability, 
maintainability) of the developed wearable systems.

Because hardware and software interact tightly, new skills and processes 
are required when designing and implementing solutions based on wearable 
devices. In addition, the integration of wearable devices with other 
smart devices installed in the environment (e.g., sensors in a room) 
requires that the system architecture is highly dynamic. Therefore, 
there is a need for a new paradigm of software and system development 
for wearables in smart rooms, based on sensor nets, fog, and edge 
computing. This trend suggests establishing a new joint community of 
researchers from sensor nets and software engineering.

The LIFEWEAR workshop aims to bring together researchers and 
practioneers from the communities interested in wearables, to present 
current approaches w.r.t. software engineering of wearable devices, 
gather requirements for future wearable systems and develop a roadmap 
for software enginnering for wearables.

This includes the following research areas
■ Model-driven software development for wearable systems
■ Innovative interaction approaches of humans with wearables
■ Interactions of wearables with machines (e.g., robots)
■ End-user application development
■ Embedding of wearables into a fog or edge of a smart room
■ Sensor data analytics and data aggregation
■ Technical approaches to ensure data security and privacy
■ Total cost of ownership of wearable systems
