Submission deadline: March 22, 2010<br>============================================================ <br>BodyNets 2010 has been technically co-sponsored by IEEE Engineering in <br>Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS), and is organized in cooperation <br>
with ACM SIGCHI. The conference proceedings will be archived in the <br>ACM Digital Library. <br>============================================================ <br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br>============================================================ <br>
OVERVIEW: <br> <br>Recent advances in the field of wireless sensor networks have moved them <br>beyond their traditional areas of application in monitoring of remote and <br>mobile environments. Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed <br>
within and around the human body to form Body Area Networks (BodyNets). <br>In addition to monitoring focused applications BodyNets allow also for <br>closed loop systems incorporating actuators. They can be utilized in diverse <br>
applications such as physiological monitoring, human computer interactions, <br>education and entertainment through interactive games. This conference will <br>explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and <br>
deploying BodyNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a <br>forum to bring together research professionals from diverse fields including <br>computer science, biomedical engineering and medicine in both academia <br>
and industry to address the technical, social, system and application issues <br>related to BodyNets.<br> <br>TOPICS: <br>The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously <br>published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. <br>
Topics include, but are not limited to:<br> <br>1 Communications and Networking:<br> * In-body, on-body, and around body networks<br> * Communication techniques and protocols for BodyNets<br> * Scalable, flexible network architectures & deployments<br>
* Networking and security issues for BodyNets<br> * Advanced propagation and channel model for BodyNets<br> <br>2 Medical applications:<br> * Pervasive health care and patient monitoring<br> * Integrating BodyNets into the healthcare system<br>
* Novel closed-loop applications of BodyNets<br> <br>3 Systems and Technology:<br> * System design issues, and performance modeling<br> * Signal processing, reliability and fault-tolerance issues<br> * Emerging self-powered BodyNets<br>
* Novel wireless communication technologies<br> <br>4 Wearable computing:<br> * Wearable system design issues<br> * Entertainment and lifestyle applications<br> * Assistive technologies for independent aging<br> * Interactive Arts<br>
