The First International Workshop on Recent Advances in WBANs Design and
Deployment
for Real-time and Healthcare Applications (RA-WERHA 2014)
(http://csserver.ucd.ie/~sdjahel/RA-WERHA2014/main.html)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be held in conjunction with The 39th IEEE Conference on Local
Computer Networks (LCN),
Sep. 8-11, 2014, Edmonton, Canada
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
The recent advances in wireless sensing technology have led to the
emergence of a wide
range of applications in different domains such as medical, sports,
consumer electronics,
social networking, and enterprise usage. E-health is recognized as the
most important and
promising among these applications for its potential for health
monitoring of chronic
illnesses, lifesaving in emergency situations, and its ability to
provide round the clock
healthcare to rural and disadvantaged areas. Wireless Body Area Networks
(WBANs) are the
key enabler of remote and in-hospital health monitoring and are expected
to revolutionize
the health and real-time body monitoring industry.
WBAN technology has quickly attracted a lot of attention from
researchers, practitioners
and clinicians as well as mobile health related data managers. The main
objective of WBAN
is to provide cost-effective, flexible, and secure use of biotelemetry
information and
communication technologies to support both medical and non-medical
applications. This
technology enables ambient assisted living by providing more freedom to
the elderly,
disabled, and chronic illness sufferers. Moreover, it can be rapidly
deployed in emergency
and disaster situations facilitating faster and more accurate remote
diagnosis of victims.
WBAN technology unleashes the possibilities and potentials for
personalized medicine which
promises to revolutionize healthcare that will have a significant
societal and economic
impact and improve the citizens? quality of life, particularly in future
smart cities.
However, WBAN applications present several challenges for the research
community including:
passive non-intrusive and power utilisation design issues, security and
reliability with
regards to the integrity of the acquired biotelemetry data and the
real-time transmission
of the monitored data using QoS aware techniques. Moreover, new emerging
applications,
which consider critical flows, are gaining more and more popularity in
various activity domains.
This workshop seeks to bring together leading academic and industrial
researchers,
practitioners, and clinicians to identify and discuss the major
technical challenges
and recent results related to WBANs based medical and non-medical
applications.
All are welcome to present and share their latest research findings,
ideas, simulation
tools and prototype test-beds at the 2014 RA-WERHA workshop.

Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and!
surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology.
The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution.?The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature!
and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate "Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms.
The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0.
IoTIP features two tracks:
- Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation;
- Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies
- IoT systems and components
- IoT for semantic web and personalization
- Tools for developing IoT applications
- Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT
- Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT
- Security and privacy control mechanisms
- Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc)
- PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications
- MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT
- Mobility management
- Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability
- Object, device and service management
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
- Middleware for IoT
- Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency)
- Test-beds and field trials
- Standardization and regulatory issues
Submission guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on IoTIP research topics. Standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX/Word formats can be found at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html . Papers should be submitted through EDAS at the following address: http://edas.info/N17145 . All submissions should be written in English using 10 point font and be six (8) printed pages long maximum using 10 point font and including figures and tables. The papers should be submitted to one of the two tracks:
- Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation;
- Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.
Authors must suggest their preferred track for their paper at the time of submission. The workshop chairs, however, reserve the right to switch papers between tracks if they deem them a better fit for another track.
Please note that the proceedings of this workshop will appear in IEEEXplore and will be included in DCOSS conference proceedings.
Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in IEEE IoT Journal.
