SCOPE
Recent advances in the field of wireless sensor networks have moved them beyond their traditional areas of application in monitoring 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 also allow 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. 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 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:
Communications and Networking
* In-body, on-body and around body networks
* Communication techniques and protocols for BodyNets
* Scalable, flexible network architectures and deployments
* Networking and security issues for BodyNets
* Advanced propagation and channel model for BodyNets
Medical Applications
* Pervasive healthcare and patient monitoring
* Integrating BodyNets into the healthcare system
* Novel closed-loop applications of BodyNets
Systems and Technology
* System design issues and performance modeling
* Signal processing, reliability and fault-tolerance issues
* Emerging self-powered BodyNets
* Novel wireless communication technologies
Wearable Computing
* Wearable system design issues
* Entertainment and lifestyle applications
* Assistive technologies for independent aging
* Interactive arts
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: 10 March 2010
Notification of acceptance: 21 May 2010
Camera-ready deadline: 21 June 2010
PUBLICATION
The Proceedings of BodyNets 2010 will be published in the Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST), appear in SpringerLink and will be referenced in the ICST digital library, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL).
Distinguished papers accepted and presented in BodyNets 2010, after further revisions, will be published in the International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS), and the ACM MONET special issue on Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks.
