 CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Track on Mobile Grid Computing for Smart Health and 
Well Being (mGrid4SHB)  

Paper submission due: June 1, 2013

Conference dates: September 30, 2013 (Mon) - October 2, 2013 (Wed) Boston, MA

Body Area Networks (BANs) have gained immense popularity in recent years due to 
the advances in sensing, microprocessor, storage, and wireless technologies. In 
BANs, wearable sensors capable of collecting biomedical, kinematic, and 
environmental data wirelessly communicate the raw data to hand-held mobile 
devices like smart phones, tablets, laptops, and netbooks so to generate 
real-time information about a person's health and well being. Information from 
raw data may be obtained either through manual inspection of visualized data 
(e.g., vital signs such as electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, electrical 
conductance, photoplethysmogram) or through automated analysis of features 
extracted from raw data (e.g., power spectral density, heart rate variability, 
sweating, hemoglobin saturation) to obtain actionable knowledge about a 
person's psycho-physiological condition (e.g., sleep quality, cardiac health, 
stress level, O2 and CO2 levels). However, computational models used for 
feature extraction, analysis, and automated diagnosis require computational 
capabilities that often exceed those of portable devices. In addition, the 
amount of data to be processed from multiple sensors on multiple individuals 
(in applications that are interested in the psycho-physiological analysis of a 
group of individuals) can be humongous and the communication cost of offloading 
data to the cloud for real-time feedback can be prohibitive. In such cases, 
trusted mobile computing devices in the vicinity can be used to form a 
federated mobile computing grid for generating actionable knowledge regarding 
the health and well-being of an individual or a group in real time and in situ.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The purpose of this special session is to provide a forum for researchers and 
practitioners from multiple disciplines to share, present, and discuss recent
