Description
-----------
Recent advances in the wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has led to
several potential applications in the health care industry. One such
application is "Smart Monitoring" where smart devices can remotely monitor
a patient's vital signs as well as other contextual information. In this
regard the Smart Monitoring System consists of traditional health care
sensors such as EKG, blood pressure, pulse-oximeter and glucose meter as
well as other sensors for recording the contextual information such as
motion, temperature, light, humidity etc. The patient's medical and contextual
information can be locally processed and automatically transmitted to the
relevant health-care staff, or they can be handled locally in the homes.
These smart devices can assist in knowledge extraction and filtering the
unwanted data. The quality of current health care system can be significantly
improved by using these smart devices. The realization of Smart Monitoring is
technically challenging as it involves many research areas such as wearable
computing, context-awareness, sensor data fusion, security and
privacy, reliable
communication protocols, decision support systems and user-friendly interfaces.
Although significant progress has been made in last few years, however, more
work is needed to for the pragmatic realization of this technology.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia
to present their work and get the feedback. We expect the workshop to act as
a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their ideas on
addressing the most current challenges potential solutions and future
developments of smart monitoring technologies in health care.

Paper Submission
----------------
Only original papers will be considered that have neither been published nor
submitted for publication elsewhere, including web publication. The papers will
be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. All submissions will be handled
electronically.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an IEEE conference style
paper up to 5
pages (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS
submission system
(http://www.edas.info ), but one additional page will be allowed with
additional
publication fee.
An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline.
An accepted
paper must be presented at the workshop. Failure to register before
the deadline will
result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop
proceedings and the
program. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the
IEEE GLOBECOM
proceedings and IEEE digital library. GLOBECOM has the right to remove
an accepted
and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library.
