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" 
(http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji_cs.html). The accepted papers in this 
IEICE Special Section will be published in IEICE Transactions Online, but not 
included in the IEEE Xplore.

1. Scope

- Medical sensor networks; multi-hop, relay and cooperative data transmission
- High reliability techniques; Latency and QoS support
- Wearable and implant device technologies
- Human body communications (HBC)
- E-Health system and medical data information services
- Healthcare remote monitoring and wireless medical telemetry services
- Cloud computing and networking for health care services.
- Antennas and radio propagation in BAN
- Ranging and geolocation

2. Submission Instructions
The standard number of pages is 8; the page charges are considerably higher for 
extra pages. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guideline in the 
"Information for Authors." The latest version is available at the web site,
