Call for Papers ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems (TECS) Special issue on "Wireless Health Systems"

Guest Editors: Majid Sarrafzadeh (UCLA, Computer Science), William Kaiser (UCLA, Electrical Engineering)

Scope Recent advances in pervasive, low cost, wireless communication, embedded computing for sensor information processing, and medical informatics have enabled the development and first examples of "Wireless Health" and "TeleHealth". This new area is broadly defined as the use of personal communication technologies to provide and support individualized healthcare for patients in their home, workplace, and remote clinic environments. The arrival of broadband wireless services, along with increasingly powerful and convenient handheld devices, and compact sensors and instruments will introduce constantly vigilant local monitoring and guidance with a wide array of diagnostic capabilities. Applications under development range from monitoring and management of wellness to diagnostic measurement and guidance of patients through rehabilitative pathways. Wireless health development is critical for addressing the urgent needs for support to all members of our society, given a rapidly growing population in the presence of otherwise declining resources.

This special issue seeks contribution from international community in the general scope of design and development of architectures, algorithms, protocols, and technology for pervasive wireless health and development of cost effective design, implementation, optimization and test methods and tools to support the creation and evolution of such systems.

Topics include: • Customizable wearable medical monitoring devices; architectures and applications. • Pervasive healthcare, wellness management utilizing ubiquitous computing, embedded and wearable sensors • Advances in embedded computing platforms and complete systems for portable, personal assistive and rehabilitative care devices with embedded computing • Embedded wireless network architectures, methods, and protocols for ubiquitous and personal wireless health systems • Embedded computing, signal processing, and sensor information processing for wireless health applications. • Automated diagnosistic algorithms for embedded wireless health applications • Distributed and ubiquitous embedded personal health information management • Computational models and algorithms for embedded health and biomedical applications • Embedded computing architectures, algorithms, and system implementations for assuring integrity, security, and privacy for wireless health. • Methods for assuring efficient use of resources including energy for distributed wireless health systems and applications. • Development of standards for embedded wireless wearable devices and systems.

Instruction for Paper Submission:

"Papers should be submitted through the ACM TECS web site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acm/tecs and should clearly state in bold letters 'submitted to the special issue on wireless health systems' ".
