                             CALL FOR PAPERS

SCOPE:

----------------------

The advancement in sensing, embedded computing, and wireless communication
has

accelerated the progress of Body Area Networks (BodyNets). BodyNetsintegrate

and deploy wireless sensors, RFID tags, and other pervasive devices within
and

around human bodies for constructing diverse and practical systems for

smart health and wellbeing, human computer interaction, and provision of

entertainment. This conference will explore the challenges and technical

approaches to designing, building, and deploying BodyNets. The conference
aims

to establish a forum to exchange ideas, discuss practices, raise awareness,
and

to share cutting edge technology and experiences among researchers and

practitioners in the field of computer science, biomedical engineering,

medicine, and other disciplines in both academia and industry.

TOPICS:

-----------------------

The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously

published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Topics

covers all aspects of BodyNets including, but are not limited to:

- Embedded Medical Devices

- Systems, Applications, Case Studies

- Wearable Computing

- Signal Processing in BodyNets

- Networking and Communications

- Privacy and Security

- Software Design and Support

- Hardware Design and Architectures

- Sensors and Actuators

- Integrating BodyNets into healthcare

- Medical Device Plug-and-Play

PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

--------------------------

Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 7 pages in ACM
Proceedings

format (7"x9" print area, single spaced, double column, 9-pt font size).
