CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
============================================================
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.


In conjunction to the BodyNets 2010 conference, workshops on variety related

topics will be held on Sept 9, 2010. Proposals are invited for organising
workshops.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for academia, industries and
governing bodies to exchange ideas, promote emerging research directions,
and
present novel applications. We aim to build a programme that complements the

main conference, and dual submission to workshops and the main conference
will
not be allowed.
