September 30 to October 2, 2013 

Boston, MA, USA

 

Technically-sponsored by IEEE EMB and ACM SIGCHI

Proceedings to be published by ACM

 

BodyNets 2013 aims to provide a world-leading and unique opportunity for
bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines to
plan, analyze, design, build,  deploy and experiment with/on body area
networks (BANs). We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the
following topics (but not limited to): 

 

1. Wearable Computing

- Ambient intelligence

- Pervasive user interface

- Context and situation awareness

- Augmented reality

- Sensory augmentation

- Motion detection and activity recognition

- User modeling and personalization

 

2 Embedded Devices and Medical Applications

- High-confidence medical devices

- Integration of medical devices with healthcare systems

- Medical device plug-and-play

- Assistive technologies for independent aging

- Pervasive health care and patient monitoring

- New medical diagnostics and treatments

- Ambient assisted living

- Virtual hospitals

 

3. Communications and Networking

- Various types of BANs; e.g, in-body, on-body and around-body networks

- Signal/information processing and communication models in BANs

- BAN architectures and protocols

- Power-efficient communications

- Wireless energy transfer

- Delay-tolerance, fault-tolerance and reliability in BANs

- Cloud computing and BANs

- Cognitive networks for medical bands

 

4. Systems and Applications

- Sensing and actuation in BANs

- Software engineering and systems engineering for BANs

- Modeling, simulations and empirical experiments

- Design and performance issues

- Tools, testbeds and deployment issues

- Wireless-to-bio interface/transduction

- Standardization

 

Application domains include, but not limited to, biomedical engineering,
computer vision, defense, entertainment (e.g. computer games), human
computer interaction, industrial design, interactive arts, Internet of
things, logistics and transportation, physiological monitoring, prosthetics,
robotics, smart garments, sports science, and vehicular networks. 

 

In addition to the main track that covers general/mainstream topics, the
BodyNets 2013 technical program features a series of special tracks that
focus on specific/emerging topics: 

 

- Antennas for Body Area Networks (ABAN)

- Body Area Networks for Sports Applications and Systems (BANS)

- Body Area Networks with Social Networks (BANSN)

- Brain and Body Computing based on Embodied Knowledge (BBC)

- Cloud-assisted Cyber-Physical Systems (CCPS)

- Computer Vision for Human Sensing (CVHS)

- Energy Harvesting in Body Area Networks (EHBAN)

- Healthcare Applications and Challenges of Body Area Networks (HACBAN)

- Human Body Communications (HBC)

- Mobile Grid Computing for Smart Health and Well Being (mGrid4SHB)

- Nano-scale Communications and Networking (NCN)

- Privacy, Security and Trust in Body Area Networks (PSTBAN)

- Smart Garments (SG)

- Smart Health and Big Data (SHBD)
