OVERVIEW:

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 around the human
body to form Body
Area Networks (BodyNets). In addition to monitoring focused applications
BodyNets allow
also for closed loop systems incorporating actuators. 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, system and
application issues
related to BodyNets.

TOPICS:
The conference invites original technical papers that were not
previously published and
are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics
include, but are not
limited to:

1 Communications and Networking:
* In-body, on-body, and around body networks
* Communication techniques and protocols for BodyNets
* Scalable, flexible network architectures & deployments
* Networking and security issues for BodyNets
* Advanced propagation and channel model for BodyNets

2 Medical applications:
* Pervasive health care and patient monitoring
* Integrating BodyNets into the healthcare system
* Novel closed-loop applications of BodyNets

3 Systems and Technology:
* System design issues, and performance modeling
* Signal processing, reliability and fault-tolerance issues
* Emerging self-powered BodyNets
* Novel wireless communication technologies

4 Wearable computing:
* Wearable system design issues
* Entertainment and lifestyle applications
* Assistive technologies for independent aging
* Interactive Arts

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, short papers
of up to 4 pages, and
poster paper up to 2 pages, in ACM conference proceeding format through
