Then, in order to effectively design and deploy reliable e-Health systems, a strong cooperation among several diverse research areas of ICT is necessary (i.e., bioengineering, wearable sensors, wireless communications, data fusion and processing, decision support systems and others). This is fundamental to make e-Health systems a reality, satisfying main requirements of reliability and effectiveness. IREHSS aims to provide a forum for the interaction of experts belonging to these different research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, databases, security and privacy. The main objective is to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas as an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective e-health systems. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to E-health, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Wearable and Implantable sensors for healthcare - Wireless communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Privacy and security issues in healthcare - Middleware for e-health - Energy Efficiency in health monitoring - Artificial intelligence and expert systems - User interface, usability and acceptability of e-health systems - Healthcare applications for clinicians - Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Power Management and energy-efficient design in Wireless Body Area Networks - System architecture and networking protocols for e-health systems - Medical data analysis, measurements and management - Modeling and performance evaluation - Semantic Web in Healthcare - Standards and frameworks Paper submission for regular papers must be limited to 6 pages including text, figures, references and appendices. Manuscripts must be formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines.

Risen from the ashes of traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with the variability of a network solely made up from mobile users, opportunistic communications have recently stood out and gained a lot of research attention. Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile network. The idea of opportunistically exploiting extemporary contacts among the users of the network poses new and challenging problems, as well as providing with novel and promising opportunities, to the networking research community. The AOC 2011 workshop will be a meeting point for people working in the area and it will constitute a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. The AOC 2011 workshop will have a primary interest in the new directions of opportunistic communications represented by mobile social networking, content-centric networking, and participatory sensing. More in general, papers tackling issues related to opportunistic networking and computing are welcome. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications are solicited, as well as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing * Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and opportunistic networks * Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic communications * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the next years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We are looking forward to meeting you !
