WearIT@work is the largest project worldwide in wearable computing research. Focused on work context, this EC Integrated Project displays results ready for exploitation. Take the opportunity of this workshop to meet, exchange and learn from the best experts in the domain.

Wearable computing technology has the long-term potential to change the out-of-office workplace just as much as personal computers changed the office environment: Instead of working at the computer, users are supported in their primary tasks by the help of ICT.
A wearable computer provides persistent, unobtrusive support through IT solutions during all daily work primary tasks. At stakes: improving safety, productivity and comfort at work. WearIT@work project develops a set of such solutions.

Wearable computing introduces new possibilities to use context information from the surrounding environment. This allows for usage of new technology for identification, authentication and authorization at the same time as ambient security threats need to be managed. The WearIT@work workshop is specifically designed to foster exchanges between different projects focusing on:
- wearable computing and devices,
- ambient intelligence,
- security technology
- social and legal aspects.

Research and industry innovators attending the WearIT@work workshop will:
- learn the latest findings in context recognition, security and legal challenges for wearable computing
- discuss security issues
- Understand through positions statements why wearable computing marks a technology breakthrough in four applications domain: Healthcare, Emergency Rescue, Aircraft Maintenance and Production Management.

WearIT@work was set up by the European Commission as an Integrated Project to investigate “Wearable Computing” as a technology dealing with computer systems integrated in clothing.
The project has 42 partners, a project volume of 23.7 million € and an EU funding of 14.6 million €.
