  text: 'Wearable computers are embedded into the mobile environment of their users.
    A design challenge for wearable systems is to combine the high performance required
    for tasks such as video decoding with the low energy consumption required to maximise
    battery runtimes and the flexibility demanded by the dynamics of the environment
    and the applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that reconfigurable hardware
    technology is able to answer this challenge. We present the concept and the prototype
    implementation of an autonomous wearable unit with reconfigurable modules (WURM).
    We discuss experiments that show the uses of reconfigurable hardware in WURM:
    ASICs-on-demand and adaptive interfaces. Finally, we present an experiment with
    an operating system layer for WURM.'
