CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2006 IEEE Workshop on Body Sensor Networks
MIT Media Lab and MIT Wang Auditorium, Cambridge MA -USA-
3-5 April, 2006
http://ubimon.doc.ic.ac.uk/bsn/
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Soceity, EMB Soceity, and CAS Society
Important Dates:
* Paper Submission deadline: 15 Nov 2005
(4 pages in IEEE Computer Society format - see above website)
* Notification of acceptance: 15 Dec 2005
* Camera ready copy due: 20 Jan 2006
The last decade has witnessed a rapid surge of interest in new sensing and
monitoring devices for healthcare and the use of wearable/wireless devices
and sensor networks for clinical applications. One key development in this
area is implantable in vivo monitoring and intervention devices. While the
problems of long-term stability and biocompatibility are being addressed,
several promising prototypes are starting to emerge for managing patients
with acute diabetes, for treatment of epilepsy and other debilitating
neurological disorders and for monitoring of patients with chronic cardiac
diseases. Despite the technological developments in sensing and monitoring
devices, issues related to system integration, sensor miniaturization,
low-power sensor interface circuitry design, wireless telemetric links and
signal processing have still to be investigated. Moreover, issues related
to quality of service, security, multi-sensor data fusion, and decision
support are active research topics needed for deploying body sensor
networks.
The aim of the workshop is to address general issues related to using
wearable/wireless and implantable sensors and to bring together scientists
from computing, electronics, bioengineering, medicine and industry in
order to discuss the latest technological developments and clinical
applications of body-sensor networks.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
Novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors
Hardware considerations for body sensor networks, including: Low power RF
transceivers, energy scavenging, battery technology, miniaturisation,
system integration, process and cost of manufacturing
Biocompatibility and materials
Context awareness and multi-sensor data fusion for body sensor networks
Quality of service and security issues for body sensor networks
Standards and light-weight communication protocols for body sensor networks
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, dance etc.
Applications of body-sensor networks
