Call for Participation

With recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), their practical applications in general sensing and monitoring are rapidly broadening. Although originally conceived for wide area environment or process monitoring, WSNs are increasingly being used in human computer interaction, brain computer interaction, gaming, and interactive digital arts, as well as in healthcare and patient monitoring. Despite the recent technological developments in sensing, embedded electronics, and sensor networking, several challenging issues need to be addressed. In particular, technological scaling, wireless communication and networking, sensor data processing and presentation are key aspects that need to be investigated in an integrated fashion for enabling visionary applications in the above areas of WSN. The aim of this conference is to bring researchers in WSN to address the technical and application issues related to Body Area Sensor Networks.
