Call for Papers (SmarTel’07) First International Workshop on Smart Homes for Tele-Health May 21, 2007, Niagara Falls, Canada Website - http://cs.acadiau.ca/~shussain/smartel

SmarTel'07 is the First International Workshop on Smart Homes for Tele-Health, which is organized in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, AINA’07, Niagara Falls, Canada, May 21-23, 2007.

** Description **

Due to recent advancement in electronics industry, our homes can be equipped with smart devices that can monitor a patient’s vital signs and other useful information. The patient information can be locally processed and automatically transmitted to the relevant health-care staff, or they can be handled locally in the homes. These smart devices can assist in knowledge extraction and filtering the unwanted data. The quality of current health care system can be significantly improved by using these smart devices.

** Topics **

The main themes include, but not limited to: - Smart home applications for tele-health - Ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare services - Privacy, trust, and security in tele-health - Sensor network management for tele-health - Body sensor networks - Energy efficient communication protocols - Energy efficient data management - Monitoring of vital signs - Monitoring of elderly and congestive heart failure patients - Monitoring of chronic medical conditions - Integration of smart applications in healthcare system - Intelligent agent architectures
