The papers in this proceeding discuss current and future trends in wearable communications and personal health management through the use of wireless body area networks (WBAN). The authors posit new technologies that can provide trustworthy communications mechanisms from the user to medical health databases. The authors discuss not only on-body devices, but also technologies providing information in-body. Also discussed are dependable communications combined with accurate localization and behavior analysis, which will benefit WBAN technology and make the healthcare processes more effective. The papers were presented at the 13th EAI International Conference on Body Area Networks (BODYNETS 2018), Oulu, Finland, 02-03 October 2018.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 14th EAI International Conference on Body Area Networks, BodyNets 2019, held in Florence, Italy, in October 2019. The 27 papers presented were selected from 54 submissions and issue new technologies to provide trustable measuring and communications mechanisms from the data source to medical health databases. Wireless body area networks (WBAN) are one major element in this process. Not only on-body devices but also technologies providing information from inside a body are in the focus of this conference. Dependable communications combined with accurate localization and behavior analysis will benefit WBAN technology and make the healthcare processes more effective.

Over past few years, technologies have experienced boundaries getting blurred and concept of convergence to gain prominence. Harnessing from this, two main tracks for information processing management and communication are held, covering both research and application works of information management, intelligent information processing, interaction management, networking/ telecommunications, and social interaction. This book creates unique opportunity for research convergence among truly diverse technology domains of computer science. Leveraging from this diversity of topics, researchers get to generate novel research ideas by seeking application of their research in a different technology domain. This volume represents the collection of papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication (IMCOM 2019), held on 4-6 January 2019 in Phuket, Thailand. Out of 228 papers submitted from all around the world 88 papers were accepted for presentations. The 88 contributions to this volume are organized into 5 chapters: Chapter 1. Network Evolution, Chapter 2. Intelligent and Secure Network, Chapter 3. Image and Video Processing, Chapter 4. Information Technology and Society, and Chapter 5. Data Mining and Learning. Our editors wish readers to find this volume informative and enjoyable.

The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th EAI International Conference on Communications and Networking, held in October 2018 in Chengdu, China. The 71 papers presented were carefully selected from 114 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless communications and networking, next generation WLAN, big data networks, cloud communications and networking, ad hoc and sensor networks, satellite and space communications and networking, optical communications and networking, information and coding theory, multimedia communications and smart networking, green communications and computing, signal processing for communications, network and information security, machine-to-machine and IoT, communication QoS, reliability and modeling, cognitive radio and networks, smart internet of things modeling, pattern recognition and image signal processing, digital audio and video signal processing, antenna and microwave communications, radar imaging and target recognition, and video coding and image signal processing.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks, ADHOCNETS 2021, held in December 2021, and the 16th International Conference on Tools for Design, Implementation and Verification of Emerging Information Technologies, TRIDENTCOM 2021, held in November 2021. Both conferences were held virtually due to COVID 19 pandemic. The 15 full papers of ADHOCNETS 2021 were selected from 29 submissions and cover a variety of network paradigms including ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs), vehicular ad hoc networks (Vanets), airborne networks, underwater networks, underground networks, personal area networks, and home networks, etc. It promises a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The 18 full papers were selected from 47 submissions and deal the emerging technologies such as Industry 4.0, blockchain, deep learning, cloud/edge/fog computing, cyber physical systems, cybersecurity and computer communications.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Body Area Networks, BodyNets 2020, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in October 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 15 papers presented were selected from 30 submissions and issue new technologies to provide trustable measuring and communications mechanisms from the data source to medical health databases. Wireless body area networks (WBAN) are one major element in this process. Not only on-body devices but also technologies providing information from inside a body are in the focus of this conference. Dependable communications combined with accurate localization and behavior analysis will benefit WBAN technology and make the healthcare processes more effective.
