The International Workshop on Medical Applications Networking (MAN) provides a forum for discussion of recent developments, bringing together researchers, scientists, engineers, academicians and students all around the world to share the latest updates on new technologies and applications that would shape the next generation of networks and systems related with medicine and healthcare.
Communications and network technologies play an important role in medical solutions and healthcare. New solutions continue to be developed to create safer health care environments. The rapid growth of using such devices and technologies in medical fields has created new opportunities and applications. However, enormous challenges still remain to be resolved in order to develop flexible, reliable, secure, and power-efficient networks suitable for medical needs.
MAN 2009 will be held in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2009, Dresden, Germany.
