[Tccc] FW: Call for Papers - Symposium on Sensor Technologies and Information Processing in Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

The symposium on Sensor Technologies and Information Processing in
Healthcare will be held in conjunction with the 5th International
Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information
Processing - 2009 (ISSNIP 2009), Melbourne, Australia during December
7-10, 2009. The symposium will focus specifically on sensors, signal
processing and smart systems for healthcare applications ranging from
biomedical diagnostics to online patient monitoring.

The convergence of biomedical sensors, sensor networks and information
processing creates exciting opportunities for solving a variety of
complex problems in healthcare. Healthcare sensor networks are an
emerging paradigm consisting of body sensor networks and in-situ
monitoring sensors. The program committee is soliciting papers in the
following (but not limited) areas, intelligent signal processing
algorithms, healthcare sensor network architectures including body
sensor networks, intelligent sensors and algorithms for monitoring
human health and locomotion, security and privacy issues and
real-world user applications.

********************************** Special Sessions
******************************************
The following special sessions will be run in conjunction with the
main body of the symposium:
Special Session I: Commercial based sensing for healthcare
applications (session chairs: Mihai and Raluca Marin-Perianu)
Special Session II: Mobile computing and healthcare monitoring for
rural communities (session chair: Ahsan Khandoker)
Special Session III: Practical challenges in healthcare sensor
networks ?What do clinicians want from Engineers? (session chair:
Richard Baker and Oren Tirosh)
Special Session IV: Signal processing and computational intelligence
techniques for healthcare sensor networks (session chair: Daniel Lai)

********************************* Special Issue: Edited Book
***********************************
Successful authors of the best and selected conference papers in this
symposium will be invited to submit extended versions of their work as
book chapters in the upcoming edited book titled:
" Healthcare Sensor Networks: Challenges towards Practical
Implementation " eds. D. Lai, R. Begg and M. Palaniswami. CRC Press.
Taylor and Francis Group, 2010.
Guidelines for chapter submission and corresponding deadlines will be
provided to successful authors. Submitted book chapters will undergo a
further round of reviews to ensure novelty and the research quality.
******************************** Author Guidelines
********************************************
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers (4-6 pages in A4
size) following the conference format which can be found at
