-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) Datum: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:30:24 -0500 Von: Krishna Kumar Venkatasubramanian <kven(a)wpi.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [apologies if you received multiple copies of this solicitation] *********************** CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Design Challenges in Mobile Medical Device Systems (DC-MMDS) In Conjunction with IEEE SECON 2013 New Orleans, LA, USA June 24-27, 2013 URL: http://dc-mmds.cs.wpi.edu/ *********************** SCOPE: A decade ago, medical devices were largely simple standalone entities. Today, wireless networking capabilities, sophisticated data processing, and new sensors and actuators are increasingly being incorporated into mobile medical devices that promise to improve a clinician’s ability to diagnose and treat a range of acute and chronic medical conditions. This new generation of mobile medical device systems (MDDS) faces a variety of challenges. Such devices are often implanted, ingested, or worn and deployed as a part of pervasive health monitoring system. Some interact directly with a patient’s biological systems in order to provide coordinated, closed-‐loop care. In order for these mobile medical cyber-‐physical systems to be successful, one needs to develop targeted platforms and technologies. This is particularly challenging because of the devices used in MMDS have to be small and unobtrusive. This makes them severely resource constrained in nature. Architectures developed for the desktop and hand-‐held computing world ill suited for such applications. Further, as people who have limited understanding of the underlying technologies will use such devices, the usability of such systems, from user-‐interface to sustainability to interoperability with other devices to configuration, is very important. These challenges have been recognized, in the abstract, in the community for some time. However, there has not been a dedicated forum for discussing ideas on building mobile medical devices. This proposed workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry to address challenges facing the design and implementation of mobile medical device platforms.

The workshop is endorsed by the Technical Committee on SaCoNeT 2013 and by the ICT PSP LiveCity research project. The LiveCity implements a range of pilots for city communities across the public Internet by building a wireline and 4G wireless network of 5 cities, including a right of way without interference from unwanted traffic. These communities could range from emergency ambulances, hospitals, doctors, patients, museum curators, city administrations and schools. The main goals and contributions include, but are not limited to, authenticated and encrypted traffic, live and secure interactive video-to-video, improvements for health services and city administration, reduction of fuel costs and carbon footprint, enhanced education techniques and augmented city experiences for tourists and cultural consumers. Despite all the opportunities envisioned for future services and applications - such as improved education, security, elderly support, among others - several communication and technical challenges must still be addressed by researchers, ensuring feasible and sustainable solutions with scalable and affordable options to include, replace or improve existing services. This workshop, sponsored by the Live City Project, will provide a forum in which these issues and opportunities will be discussed amongst researchers, industry stakeholders and the general community, leading to a better understanding of current state-of-the-art research approaches and future challenges.
