I’m excited to announce that I’ll be serving as a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Chair for ISWC 2026, which will be held alongside UbiComp 2026 in Shanghai, China this October!

About UbiComp/ISWC 2026

UbiComp/ISWC 2026 will take place at the Shanghai International Convention Center (SICC) in Pudong District. This premier conference brings together researchers and practitioners working on ubiquitous computing, wearable technologies, and pervasive systems.

ISWC 2026 Leadership

General Chairs:

  • Daqing Zhang (Peking University, China)
  • Paul Lukowicz (Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany)

TPC Chairs:

  • Yuntao Wang (Tsinghua University, China) — that’s me!
  • Tobias Röddiger (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)
  • Qiuyue (Shirley) Xue (Purdue University, USA)

I’m honored to work alongside Tobias and Shirley to oversee the ISWC technical program and paper review process, ensuring a high-quality conference experience for all attendees.

Call for Submissions

We welcome submissions across multiple tracks:

ISWC Notes and Briefs

  • Submission Deadline: May 17, 2026 (11:59 pm AoE)
  • Author Notification: July 1, 2026
  • Camera Ready: July 24, 2026

Other Presentation Opportunities

  • IMWUT and TIOT journal papers (main track)
  • Workshops and Tutorials
  • Posters, Demos, and Video Teasers
  • Design Exhibition
  • Doctoral Colloquium
  • Student Challenge

All submissions should be made through the Precision Conference System (PCS 2.0).

Looking Forward

I’m particularly excited about this role because wearable computing and ubiquitous systems have been central to my research. From smart rings to earables, from physiological sensing to human-computer interaction, the ISWC community has been instrumental in advancing these fields.

If you’re working on innovative research in wearable computing, pervasive systems, or related areas, I encourage you to submit your work! Let’s make ISWC 2026 a memorable conference together.

Associate Professor (Research Track)
Yuntao Wang’s research centers on physiobehavioral computing and intelligent interaction for mobile and wearable systems. His work focuses on (1) developing robust, efficient sensing that performs reliably on mainstream devices, (2) extracting spatiotemporal patterns from multimodal signals to infer interaction intent by leveraging natural behavioral correlations, and (3) designing edge-efficient interfaces that deliver high performance on mobile and wearable platforms. He has published 90+ papers, received 10 international conference awards, and holds 30+ granted patents. His contributions have been recognized with honors including the Wu Wenjun AI Outstanding Youth Award (2024), the CAST Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship Program (2022), the Qinghai High-Level Innovation & Entrepreneurship Leading Talent (2024), and the First Prize of the China Electronics Institute Science & Technology Award (2019).
