[Mycolleagues] CFP International Workshop on Software and Information Processing in Body Sensor Networks - SPI-BSN (in conjunction with IPSN 2009)

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call)

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The First International Workshop on Software and Information Processing

in Body Sensor Networks (SIP-BSN)

(http://www.essp.utdallas.edu/sip-bsn)

 

 

April 16th, 2009, San Francisco, USA,

in conjunction with IPSN and Cyber Physical Systems week (www.cpsweek.org)

 

**** Submission Deadline -- January 21, 2009 ****

SCOPE

 

Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) have already shown potential to enable a

broad variety of applications in the assisted living and health care

domains, e.g. for rehabilitation, sports medicine, elderly care, gait

analysis, fitness. BSNs allow to measure human body parameters through

wearable sensors and often include signal processing techniques to

interpret and fuse the sensor data in real-time. The design of BSN

applications is challenging also due to the limited resources for

computation, communication and storage that are allowed by the tight

size and battery life requirements on the nodes. While in recent years

there have been significant efforts to build sensors and hardware

platforms, more research is needed to address the open challenges in the

design of software components that implement efficiently signal

processing algorithms across BSN nodes. In particular application

developers need design frameworks and methodologies based on proper

abstractions supporting interoperability and fast evaluation of

implementation tradeoffs. This workshop solicits high quality technical

contributions that address issues related to the design of the software

architecture and the distributed implementation of signal processing

techniques for sensor data interpretation and fusion.

The workshop aims to bridge the signal processing and the embedded

software community to address issues related to efficient implementation

of information processing in BSN.

means of software control

* Reconfigurable software

* Trustworthy and reliable software

* Adaptive middleware

* Programming models and languages

* Methodologies and design tools for SW and signal processing

* Case studies of signal processing intensive applications (e.g. health

care, sport and fitness, assisted living)
