This book provides the most up-to-date research and development on wearable computing, wireless body sensor networks, wearable systems integrated with mobile computing, wireless networking and cloud computing

This book has a specific focus on advanced methods for programming Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) based on the reference SPINE project. It features an on-line website to support readers in developing their own BSN application/systems and covers new emerging topics on BSNs such as collaborative BSNs, BSN design methods, autonomic BSNs, integration of BSNs and pervasive environments, and integration of BSNs with cloud computing. The book provides a description of real BSN prototypes with the possibility to see on-line demos and download the software to test them on specific sensor platforms and includes case studies for more practical applications.

Wearable computing is a relatively new area of research and development that aims at supporting people in different application domains: health care, fitness, social interactions, video games, and smart factory. Wearable computing is based on wearable sensor devices (e.g. to measure heart rate, temperature, or blood oxygen), common life objects (e.g. watch, belt, or shoes), and personal handheld devices (e.g. smartphones or tablets). Wearable computing has been recently boosted by the introduction of body sensor networks (BSNs), i.e. networks of wireless wearable sensor nodes coordinated by more capable coordinators (smartphones, tablets, and PCs).

In particular, BSNs enable a very wide range of application scenarios in different industry sectors. We can categorize them into different domains: e-Health, e-Emergency, e-Entertainment, e-Sport, e-Factory, and e-Social.

• Provides a future roadmap by learning advanced technology and open research issues

• Gathers the background knowledge to tackle key problems, for which solutions will enhance the evolution of next-generation wearable systems

• References the SPINE web site (http://spine.deis.unical.it) that accompanies the text

• Includes SPINE case studies and span topics like human activity recognition, rehabilitation of elbow/knee, handshake detection, emotion recognition systems

Wearable Computing: From Modeling to Implementation of Wearable Systems Based on Body Sensor Networks is a great reference for systems architects, practitioners, and product developers.
