2014 IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Sensors Networks for Mobile Health (WSN4Health 2014 - https://sites.google.com/site/wsn4health2014/)

to be held in conjunction with the

Fourth International Conference on Selected Topics in Mobile & Wireless Networking (MoWNet 2014 - http://www.mownet.org/)

8-10 September 2014, Rome, Italy

Call for Papers

We are currently witnessing a growing interest in the area of wireless body area networking (WBAN) accompanied by a strong demand for a better medical & healthcare society, as well as by recent advances in low-power micro- and nano-electronics and wireless networking. Consumers and doctors envisage an era where mobile health monitoring systems will work seamlessly and in concert to eliminate the lag time between onset of symptoms and diagnosis. To this end, WBAN can provide a key contribution, but, compared to traditional wireless sensor and ad hoc networks, it also introduces several new research challenges.

The aim of the 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Sensors Networks for Mobile Health is to collect recent advances on WBAN for healthcare and pervasive applications. Submission of original and unpublished work in all areas of WBAN is welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Antenna design for in- and on-body networks - Channel modeling and radio propagation issues for WBAN - Electromagnetic radiation and human tissues - Interference management and mitigation - Coexistence of WBAN with other wireless technologies - Protocols and algorithms for PHY, MAC and network layers - End-to-end QoS provision for WBAN - Energy efficient and low-power consumption protocols - Power management for WBAN - Machine-to-machine for WBAN - Integration of WBAN with heterogeneous networks - Lightweight security, authentication and cryptography solutions for WBAN - Modeling and simulation for WBAN - Context awareness for WBAN - Energy harvesting for WBAN - Real life experimental platforms, prototypes and pilot studies - Personal devices for monitoring of disease detection, progression, remission and fitness - Recent standardization activities for WBAN - Regulatory issues

All papers accepted in MoWNet 2014 workshops will be published in the MoWNet 2014 Proceedings and will be available in IEEE Xplore, since MoWNet'2014 has received the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Communications Society.

The workshop is an independent publication forum organized by the IAPP-WSN4QoL project, which is partially funded by the European Commission within the EU 7th Framework Program under grant agreement GAâ•„2011â•„286047.

Submission requirements: - The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format. Authors should submit their papers using the EDAS submission system: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=17825&track=58537. - Articles must be of SIX pages (+ 2 pages with additional fee) in double-column by respecting usual IEEE publication rules (http://www.mownet.org/callforpapers.html). - All papers that conform the submission guidelines will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to the conference, contributions and readability.

Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: June 1, 2014 - Notification: June 30, 2014 - Final submission: July 30, 2014
