***BSN 2012*** International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks Final Call for Papers May 10-12, 2012 London, UK http://www.bsn2012.org/

*Paper Submission Deadline: Jan 20, 2012* *Bert Gyselinckx (Holst Centre - IMEC), José del R. Millán (EPFL), and Joseph Wang (UCSD) confirmed as Invited Speakers*

Body Sensor Network (BSN) technology has gained significant interest in recent years from researchers both in academia and industry. With the development of innovative wearable/wireless/implantable biosensors, the applications for BSNs extend from in-vivo monitoring and intervention for healthcare, to fitness, life-style monitoring, sport and security.

The 9th International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN 2012) will address the fast-growing BSN research and offer participants a unique forum to discuss the key issues and innovative solutions in current BSN research and its future applications. The conference features a number of invited lectures by leading academic researchers and industrial experts as well as showcases and demonstrations of the latest BSN developments. In addition, a series of focused workshops and tutorials will be organised on a range of topics, including BSN Biomotion Analysis, BSN Platform/Programming, Healthcare Applications and Case Studies, Sensing in Extreme Environments, Implantable Sensors, IEEE 802.15.6 Standards, and Machine Learning for BSNs.

Topics to be addressed by BSN 2012 include, but are not limited to: -Novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors; -Hardware considerations for BSNs; -Biocompatibility and materials; -Context awareness and multi-sensor data fusion for BSNs; -Quality of service and security issues; -Links from the body to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring; -Wearable and implantable (or swallowable, etc.) sensor integration and development platforms; -Wearable biomotion sensors to monitor human activity for diagnosis, therapy, training, sports, etc.; -Value of BSNs to healthcare – hospital and community contexts; -Applications of BSNs; -Machine learning and pattern recognition/mining of large continuous BSN data sets.

Workshops and tutorials planned to be offered during BSN 2012 include: -BSN Platform Tutorial -Enabling Low-Power Medical Applications using Narrowband PHY, MAC Layer and Security Protocols -Pervasive Sensing in Sports and Extreme Environment -Clinical Applications of BSN

The 2nd Annual BSN Contest will also be held in conjunction with BSN 2012: http://www.bsn2012.org/m1567.html
