Bodynets 2012 international conference

The Seventh International Conference on Body Area Networks (BodyNets 2012) will be held in Oslo, Norway in September, 2012. The Conference continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of results on cutting-edge research in BodyNets . While the mission of the conference is to share novel basic research ideas as well as experimental applications in the BodyNets area in addition to identifying new directions for future research and development the new scientific topics such as nano com munication networks, bio-inspired networks, molecular networks, etc. will be considered. BodyNets 2012 will give researchers a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects from molecular to micro level commu nication to novel applications from medicine to automobile industry. The conference consists of four symposia that cover a broad range of research aspects. In addition, the program will include three outstanding keynote speakers from academia and industry . A panel session on ?Nano communications networks: from theory to practical applications? and an industrial track will surely provoke thoughtful discussions. There will also be two tutorials given free of charge to all BodyNets 2012 attendees. We hope t hat the conference proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to researchers and developers in the area.
