CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MobileHealth 2012
http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2012/
The Second ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2012
http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2012/
June 11-14, 2012. Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the workshop
-----------------------
Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of
people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This
increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing
the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and
communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software
could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. Recent
Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent,
wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health
monitoring
tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers
over
wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to
continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance.
However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication
chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a
set
of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and
use
of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset
after transfer
in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the
collected
data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to
consider.
Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy
employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost.
After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second
edition
of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina -
USA on
June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc
conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 workshop aims to
provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be
an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be
considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems.
The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental
achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case
studies
and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and
systems.
This announcement solicits technical papers describing original,
previously
unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference
or
journal. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues
on
wireless healthcare networking systems. Contributions describing an
overall
working system are particularly of interest.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Mobile devices for healthcare
- Wearable and Implantable Wireless sensors for healthcare
- Communications infrastructure for mobile healthcare apps
- Protocols for wireless healthcare
- Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare
apps
- Pervasive Wireless communications in healthcare
- Service and device discovery
- Data fusion and context elaboration
- Wireless monitoring and ambient assisted applications for
healthcare
- Energy Efficiency in Wireless health monitoring
- Pervasive Health Systems and Services
- Authentication and Sensors' monitoring
- Confidentiality and Data Security
- Mobile Interfaces for Data Visualization
- Realizations and Platforms
- Standards for mobile healthcare
Manuscript submissions
----------------------
Submitted regular papers must be up to 10 pages (US letter size, 8.5 X
11 inches)
and short papers up to 4 pages including text, figures and references.
It should
be in PDF format having a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers
should
present future research directions, ongoing work, visionary,
innovative ideas.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register
and present the paper.
Further submission instructions could be found on the workshop web site.
