<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">The International Workshop on Body
Area Sensor Networks (BASNet-2013) provides an international forum on the
latest technologies and research in the field of Body Area Networks (BANs).
BASNet 2013 will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (25-28 June 2013) in
conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks,
and Technologies (ANT-2013). </p>
