To enable users to fully immerse themselves in online 3D virtual environments, the emergence of the Metaverse presents unprecedented challenges for future Internet of Things (IoT) systems. One of the key challenges lies in achieving real-time perception, which is essential for capturing the latest real-world information and seamlessly integrating it into virtual spaces. Wireless sensing, owing to its pervasive and adaptable nature, emerges as a viable solution to meet this requirement. While embedded non-contact sensors can fulfill these demands, a more promising approach involves integrating wireless sensing capabilities into existing communication devices, leveraging the same hardware, spectrum, and even transmission waveform. This integration paves the way for delivering high-precision perception services anywhere and anytime within the Metaverse. As a result, researchers have embarked on exploring the collaborative design of perception and communication functionalities for future mobile computing devices, a research endeavor commonly referred to as the Integrated Sensing, Communication and Computation (ISCC) system. This pursuit holds the potential to revolutionize the digital landscape and accelerate the realization of the Metaverse.

Recent studies have identified various influential factors crucial for delivering a real-time and immersive Metaverse experience. These factors encompass advanced beamforming and precoding techniques, innovative network architectures and protocols, novel system designs, and more robust computing and recognition algorithms. In line with these developments, the 1st International Workshop on Integrated Sensing, Computation and Communications for Metaverse is scheduled to take place in Hong Kong, China. This event aims to bring together ISCC researchers from academia, industry, national research laboratories, and funding institutions to showcase their latest research findings and engage in discussions on overcoming the forthcoming challenges of integrating communication, computation and perception within the Metaverse. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Fundamental information theoretical limits for ISCC
• ISCC for IoT/IIoT/IoE
• ISCC for 6G vehicular-to-everything (V2X) network
• Edge computing/computing offloading for ISCC
• Network architectures/transmission protocols/frame designs for ISCC
• Spectrum analysis and management of ISAC
• Full duplex/interference management techniques of ISCC
• Modulation/waveform/precoding/receiver design for ISCC
• Security and privacy issues for ISCC
• Machine learning methods in ISCC
• MIMO/Massive MIMO/intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)/Holographic MIMO surface for ISCC
• Millimeter wave/THz technologies for ISCC
• Standardization progress of ISCC
• Wi-Fi sensing/positioning/detection for ISCC
• Experimental demonstrations, testbeds and prototypes
