The International Symposium on Wearable Computers or ISWC (pronounced "iz-wic") is one of the most prominent academic conferences on wearable computing and ubiquitous computing.^{[1][2] [3]} Its first edition was held in 1997 in Cambridge, MA, USA. Since 2013, ISWC conferences have been held together alongside UbiComp, a Ubiquitous Computing conference.^[4] Proceedings from every edition are published by IEEE Press.
