CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Section on Information and Communication Technology for Medical and
Healthcare Applications in Conjunction with Main Topics of ISMICT2013, IEICE
Transaction on Communications
- Submission Deadline: July 1, 2013
- Publication Date: Mar. 1, 2014
The IEICE Transactions on Communications announces that it will publish a
special section entitled "Special Section on Information and Communication
Technology for Medical and Healthcare Applications in Conjunction with Main
Topics of ISMICT2013" in March 2014). Recently information communication
technologies for medical and healthcare applications have been recognized as an
emerging area in an ageing society. In February 2012, the IEEE 802.15 task
group (TG) 6 for body area networks (BAN) has finalized a standard for various
short range wireless applications in the vicinity of humans. The BAN commercial
products are being developed and currently coming out to the market. The 2013
International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology
(ISMICT2013) has been successfully held in Tokyo, Japan during March 6~March 8,
2013, which aims at providing an international forum for exchanging information
on recent progress of research and development in information and communication
technology in medical and healthcare applications. In conjunction with main
topics of ISMICT2013, the special section is planned to publish papers on the
related fields. The special section particularly calls for submission from, but
NOT LIMITED TO, the authors of ISMICT2013.
NOTE: IEEE owns the copyrights to all papers in the proceedings of ISMICT2013.
For copyright compliance, do not submit a paper including content identical or
extremely similar to material appeared in ISMICT2013 without the permission of
IEEE. For detail, please see the "Information for Authors"
