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. PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------- The aim of this conference is to bring researchers in WSN to address the following technical and application issues: * Body Area Networks and Human Computer Interaction · Interactive Virtual Reality and Gaming · Entertainment * Body Area Networks and Brain Computer Interaction · Invasive BCI · Non-invasive BCI * Wireless Communication and Networking Protocols: · “In-body” networks · “Near-body” networks * Applications · WSN based Interactive Digital Art · Ambient intelligence · Smart Spaces, Personalization · Healthcare and patient monitoring * Server side information processing: · Data querying · Event detection, classification,tracking * Middleware * Quality of service, security and fault tolerance issues * Enabling technologies: · Novel sensors and materials · Transceivers · Microcontrollers · Hardware platform * In Network information processing: · Data aggregation and fusion algorithms * Tools and test beds * Performance evaluation * Internetworking with heterogeneous networks Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 2 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format through COCUS (http://cocus.create-net.it). The proceedings will be an ACM Publication and the papers will be listed on the ACM digital library. Please refer to the website for more detailed information.
