ISMSR 2013 - 6 th IEEE International Symposium on Monitoring & Surveillance Research (ISMSR): Healthcare-Bioinformatics

The ISMSR actually is the 6th annual event and is the continuation of the IEEE International Symposium on Research on Assistive Technologies (2007) and the Assistive and Monitoring Technologies tracks from the IEEE Conferences (TAI, BIBE, IISA) 2008-2012. Th e annual IEEE International Symposium on Monitoring & Surveillance Research (ISMSR) provides a major international forum where the creation and exchange of ideas related to smart homes, ambient assistive living, and monitoring and surveillance research are fostered among academia, industry, and government agencies. The symposium facilitates the crossfertilization of these ideas and promotes their transfer into practical tools, for developing intelligent systems and pursuing monitoring and surveillance applications, like Bioinformatics and Bioengineering. The ISMSR encompasses all technical aspects of specifying, developing and evaluating the theoretical underpinnings and applied mechanisms of the Monitoring and Surveillance based components of computer tools (i.e. algorithms, architectures and languages), smart devices and environments, and advanced sensors.
