3. Communications and Networking
- Various types of BANs; e.g, in-body, on-body and around-body networks
- Signal/information processing and communication models in BANs
- BAN architectures and protocols
- Power-efficient communications
- Wireless energy transfer
- Delay-tolerance, fault-tolerance and reliability in BANs
- Cloud computing and BANs
- Cognitive networks for medical bands
4. Systems and Applications
- Sensing and actuation in BANs
- Software engineering and systems engineering for BANs
- Modeling, simulations and empirical experiments
- Design and performance issues
- Tools, testbeds and deployment issues
- Wireless-to-bio interface/transduction
- Standardization
Application domains include, but not limited to, biomedical engineering,
computer vision, defense, entertainment (e.g. computer games), human
computer interaction, industrial design, interactive arts, Internet of
things, logistics and transportation, physiological monitoring,
prosthetics, robotics, smart garments, sports science, and vehicular
networks.
In addition to the main track that covers general/mainstream topics, the
BodyNets 2013 technical program features a series of special tracks that
focus on specific/emerging topics:
