*International Workshop on Wireless Mesh Networking for Human and Livestock
Healthcare*
August 19 - 24, 2012 - Rome, Italy

Wireless mesh networked communication infrastructure has the ability to
change the topology dynamically and assure the reliable communications when
the users are mobile. This has been proved very useful in delivering high
quality services in human and livestock healthcare. The healthcare
requirements in human beings and livestock share some similarities while
wireless mesh networked architecture is applied, for example, traditional
wireless mesh networks developed for communications for complex application
scenarios are not suitable for healthcare, the possible harmness of the
wireless radios to the human beings and animals should be considered, the
design of antennas and transceivers should consider the special
characteristics of human and animal bodies, strict security requirement,
low power sensors, and so on. Research and development and applications of
wireless mesh networking in human and livestock healthcare are still facing
technical challenges. The objective of this workshop is to bring the
researchers from academia and industry, medical professionals and patients,
farmers and veterinarians to discuss the challenges, share experience and
skills in research and development, and demonstrate successful applications.
Topics:
- New radio technologies for around human and livestock communications
- Mesh networking protocols and algorithms for healthcare
- Antenna and transceiver design for healthcare
- Energy efficient protocols and architecture
- Implanted and wearable sensor design and sensor communications for
healthcare
- Sustainable design of networks and devices
- Applications of wireless mesh networks for healthcare
- Cognitive mesh networks for healthcare
- Secure networking for healthcare
- Standards of applying wireless networks for healthcare
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to
one of the IARIA Journals <http://www.iariajournals.org/>.
