After the successful second year of the conference, the Organizing Committee
is please to announce the Third International Conference on Body Area Networks.

Recent advances in the field of wireless sensor networks have moved them beyond their
traditional areas of application in monitoring of remote and mobile environments. Sensor
networks are increasingly being deployed within and at the surface of the human body to
form Body Area Networks (BodyNets). BodyNets allow for unidirectional (monitoring) and
even bidirectional (effector) interactions. They can be utilized in diverse applications
such as physiological monitoring, human computer interactions, education and entertainment
through interactive games. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges
of designing, building, and deploying BodyNets. In this regard, the conference aims to
establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse fields including
computer science, biomedical engineering and medicine in both academia and industry to
address the technical, social, systems and application issues related to BodyNets.

The technical program for the conference consists of 28 paper presentations (9 Full, 12 Short,
and 7 Work-in-Progress). Additionally, there will be:

Two keynote talks:
