----------
Scope
----------
The workshop will address several challenges related to networking and communication issues in Sensors, wearable, and medical devices in the area of eHealth. Despite the importance of this issue, it is being addressed as part of general networking and communication venues. This workshop solicits unpublished research work related to the latest challenges, technologies, solutions and techniques pertaining to networks of sensors, networks of wearables, networks of medical devices, body area sensor networks, WSN for medical applications, integrating these with networks infrastructures (wired and wireless networks), integration of these networks with cloud systems, protocols and performance issues in these networks. This workshop will bring together researchers from academia, industry and government in order to present the state of the art in the emerging area of networks of sensors, wearables, and medical devices in ehealth application.
----------
