Emerging BAN Technologies - Goldcoast, Australia.
In conjunction with ISCIT (2-5 October 2012)
http://iscit2012.org/workshops/emerging-ban-tech
Scope:
The rapid acceleration in miniaturisation of computing and transceiver
devices is increasing the potential evolution and development of various
types of sensor networked devices in new domains. Body Area Networks (BANs)
are a specialised type of sensor networked device specifically designed to
provide sensing and communication within and around the human body. BAN
communicationis typically categorised into two areas: In-body and On-body.
In-body (implantable) BANs, refer to sensor networked devices implanted
inside the body, capable of performing a variety of tasks such as targeted
drug delivery and internal monitoring. On-body (wearable) BANs, refer to
sensor networked devices, which are placed on the skin or in wearable
garments, capable of a diverse range of applications in environmental and
medical monitoring including the development of smart clothing. BANs are an
emerging area of interest, which is gaining moment across a wide area of
research and application. The aim of this workshop is to present the latest
research and advancements towards developing practical BAN technologies for
future application.Note: All papers will undergo the same peer-review
process as other papers submitted to the IEEE ISCIT conference, and if
accepted and presented at the conference, will be published in IEEE Xplore.
Topics of Interest
The workshop seeks contribution from authors with original (previously
unpublished and currently not under-review) research and results in the
area of BANs. Topics include the development of new: algorithms,
theoretical models and analysis, protocols and test-beds. The specific
topics include (but not limited to):
? Antenna Design and modelling for On-body and In-body BANs.
? Physical layer models including advanced channel and propagation
modelling.
? Radio Technologies and models for BANs.
? MAC layer protocols.
? Interference mitigation.
? Intra and Inter BAN communications.
? Protocols Heterogeneous BAN Scenarios.
? Routing and Addressing.
? Reliability and Fault-Tolerance.
? Power management.
? Energy efficiency and harvesting.
? Applications in BANs.
? Test-bed and early experimental results.
? Simulation modelling and tools for BANs.
? Security issues in BANs.
