Boosted by minimization of microwave components and advances of modern signal processing, wireless sensors are beginning to help conducting an intelligent environment – a computer-assisted circumstances that are sensitive and responsive to the objective alterations in it. Though contactless sensors embedded in the environment could fulfil such raising requirements, a more efficient solution is integrating wireless sensing functionality into current communication devices, in terms of same hardware, same spectrum, and even unified transmitting waveform. Thus, understanding wireless sensing capability provide a natural (yet untapped) opportunity to pursue their integration and coordination gains, making sensing and communication co-design a strong desire in the future mobile computing devices. Follow this trending, the sensing layer and communication layer in traditional IoT devices are changing from separation to integration. This offers exciting opportunities of providing wireless sensing as a basic service to the surrounding civilians, achieving mutual benefits, shedding light on the darkness space that cannot be sensed by optical cameras, and eventually building all-weather dayand-night ambient intelligence. This theme is typically referred to as Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems, which has been widely recognized to trigger a paradigm shift to the digital world.

Jointly envisioned by next generation communication standards (6G and Wi-Fi 7), recent studies have suggested various new key enablers that span all aspects of wireless and mobile computing technologies, ranging from advanced beamforming and precoding methods, new networking and protocols, novel system architectures, more powerful computing and recognizing algorithms. The 1th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communication Systems (ISACom) will bring ISAC researchers in academia, industry and national research labs, funding agencies and policy makers under one venue — to present their latest research findings and to discuss and brainstorm on the future challenges when conquering integration between communications and sensing. We look forward to meeting you either virtually or in person in Sydney, Australia. All the regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award.
