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
