*IEEE ICC 2014 2nd Workshop on Emerging BAN Technologies *

*Call for Papers:*
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have been recognised as a key technology to enable remote-health monitoring. Furthermore, WBANs are envisioned to transform the health industry by significantly reducing health care costs and providing independence and freedom to the elderly and disabled. In parallel to applications in health, WBANs have a diverse range of applications in a number of fields, such as sport, entertainment and social networking. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in the area of Wireless Body Area Networking (WBAN) to present cutting edge research and developments with respect to WBAN challenges. The workshop will have two major objectives: The first objective is to present current state-of-art in terms of the development of real test-bed and devices for various scenarios in WBANs. This includes intra, inter-body and end-to-end networking scenarios where a complete prototype has been developed. We are also interested to see applications beyond medical – such as clothing, entertainment, consumer electronics and enterprise usages. The second objective is to present current WBAN communication related research and development in PHY, MAC, routing models and routing protocols that address challenges such as energy efficiency, reliability and security.
The workshop will also include an opening keynote presentation by a distinguished researcher in the area of WBANs.
*Topics of Interest*
The workshop seeks contribution from authors with original (previously unpublished and currently not under-review) research and results in the area of WBANs. The work may include the development of new: algorithms, theoretical models and analysis, protocols and test-beds. The specific topics include (but not limited to):
* Antenna Design and modelling for On-body and In-body WBANs * Physical layer models including advanced channel and propagation modelling. * Radio Technologies and models for WBANs. * MAC layer protocols. * Resource allocation. * Power management. * Energy efficiency and harvesting. * Interference mitigation. * Intra and Inter WBAN communications. * Localisation and tracking. * Protocols for Heterogeneous WBAN Scenarios. * Routing and Addressing. * Reliability and Fault-Tolerance. * Cloud-based Management and Monitoring for WBANs. * Applications for WBANs. * Test-bed and early experimental results. * Simulation modelling and tools for WBANs * Security issues in WBANs.

If you wish to have your paper considered for this Workshop, please go to EDAS and click on the workshop link to submit your paper. Workshop papers will undergo the same peer-review process, page limits and formatting as other papers submitted to the IEEE ICC 2014. To be published in the IEEE ICC 2014 Workshop Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted workshop paper is required to register for the workshop and the paper must be presented at the workshop by an author of that paper, unless the Workshop Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter. Non-refundable Workshop registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the workshop paper to EDAS.
*Important Dates*
* 15 December 2013: Paper submission deadline on EDAS * 20 February 2014: Paper Acceptance Notification * 15 March 2014: Camera Ready submission
