Conference website: http://vip.doc.ic.ac.uk/bsn/
Deadline for paper submission: 8^th February 2005 Deadline for early registration: 21^st of March 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tutorial on Body Sensor Networks ** April 11, 2005
Tutorial website: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/vip/bsn/tutorial/ http://vip.doc.ic.ac.uk/bsn/tutorial/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a sequel to the very successful 2004 event for which you can find a list of speakers and their presentations from: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/vip/bsn/prev_ws/index.html.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together prominent scientists from computing, electronics, bioengineering, medicine and industry in order to discuss the latest technological developments and clinical applications of Body Sensor Networks.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel Bioelectrical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Biophysical sensors - Hardware considerations: low power RF transceiver, energy scavenging, battery technology, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing - Biocompatibility and materials - Context awareness and Multi-sensor data fusion - Quality of service, security and data encryption - Standards and communication protocols - Wearable and implantable sensor integration and development platforms - Applications of body-sensor networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The BSN tutorial will be held on 11^th April 2005, which covers - Introduction to Body Sensor Networks - BSN hardware architecture and sensor board design - Introduction to TinyOS - BSN programming – hands on session - BSN sensor board design – hands on session - Wireless data path and message hopping* *
** Each fully registered attendee for the Tutorial will receive a BSN development kit, which consists of a programming board, a sensor board, and a pair of BSN nodes.**
