Call For Papers - CFP
Call for papers Aim of the workshopWireless access for pervasive healthcare is an emerging cross-disciplinary subject, focusing on the research and developments of pervasive and ubiquitous wireless technologies in order to improve the quality of healthcare and wellness. With the recent advances in hardware design and wireless communications, the evolution of new generations of embedded wireless devices, which facilitates reliable, comprehensive, and high-standard healthcare, has attracted intensive attention from both industries and academic institutes. Particularly, developments in wireless infrastructure, such as body-area networks or pervasive health-monitoring system, have proved beneficial to deliver telemedicine services regardless of a patient's physical location. However, there still exist many challenges to overcome before the real marketing stage due to requirements for reliable signal propagation characteristics, low network latency, low packet loss, robust data and image transmission, and the great need for safe, secure, and dependable operation. In addition, cost issue is another key concern for worldwide utilization of wireless devices for pervasive healthcare. The aim of the workshop is to bring together both the industry and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of wireless access for pervasive healthcare. The workshop will try to build a bridge between the industry and academic research so that future collaborations between two sectors can be identified. In addition, we welcome demos of state-of-the-art products.Detailed instructions for paper submission can be found in: http://www.pervasivehealth.org/submission.shtmlTopics of Interests (not limited to)Topics of interest relating to wireless access techniques for healthcare are (but not limited to):New network architecturesRF techniquesPropagation models, such as on-body/in-body propagation channel modelsTransmission technologies and baseband signal processingHealth sensing techniquesHealth imaging and localization by large bandwidth communications, for example UWBMobile, wearable and implantable sensor integrationAmbient and home based technologiesSensors and mobile devices for continuous patient monitoringWireless sensor networks for hospitals, operating rooms, elderly monitoring, and other applicationsWSN network performance modeling: methodology and evaluationCross-layer solutions to render WSN performance power-awareWSNs application design aspects: patient monitoringEnabling technologies for future medical devices and systemsEmbedded, real-time, networked system infrastructuresRobust, verifiable, fault-tolerant networking protocolsReal-time data acquisition, processing and analysisQoS and resource managementCognitive radio and dynamic spectrum sharing techniquesDistributed control of wearable and implantable medical devicesSecurity and privacy issuesTestbeds, prototypes, and other novel applicationsElectromagnetic interference by wireless devices on medical equipmentInteroperability and standardizationImportant datesPaper submission: Janunary 31, 2009Notification to Authors: February 20, 2009Camera Ready: February 27, 2009Workshop dates: March 31, 2009
