*Conference Less Than 3 Weeks Away*
*Conference Programme Announced*
Body Sensor Network (BSN) technology has gained significant interest in
recent years from researchers both in academia and industry. With the
development of innovative wearable/wireless/implantable biosensors, the
applications for BSNs extend from in-vivo monitoring and intervention
for healthcare, to fitness, life-style monitoring, sport and security.
The 9th International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor
Networks (BSN 2012) will address the fast-growing BSN research and offer
participants a unique forum to discuss the key issues and innovative
solutions in current BSN research and its future applications. The
conference features an outstanding set of peer-reviewed paper
presentations, a number of invited lectures by leading academic
researchers and industrial experts, and showcases and demonstrations of
the latest BSN developments. In addition, a series of focused workshops
and tutorials will be offered on a range of topics.
Topics to be addressed by BSN 2012 include, but are not limited to:
-Novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors;
-Hardware considerations for BSNs;
-Biocompatibility and materials;
-Context awareness and multi-sensor data fusion for BSNs;
-Quality of service and security issues;
-Links from the body to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home
monitoring;
-Wearable and implantable (or swallowable, etc.) sensor integration and
development platforms;
-Wearable biomotion sensors to monitor human activity for diagnosis,
therapy, training, sports, etc.;
-Value of BSNs to healthcare ? hospital and community contexts;
-Applications of BSNs;
-Machine learning and pattern recognition/mining of large continuous BSN
data sets.
Confirmed invited speakers include:
-Bert Gyselinckx (Holst Centre - IMEC)
-Juergen Mayer-Zintel (Texas Instruments)
-Jos? del R. Mill?n (EPFL)
-Joseph Wang (UCSD)
