Scope
It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the event AAL 2012, Living Usability Lab Workshop on AAL latest solutions, trends and applications, to be held in Vilamoura - Algarve, Portugal on 1-4 of February 2012, co-located with BIOSTEC 2012.
This event aims to present the latest results in the field of Ambient Assisted Living and to provide a forum for discussing the results achieved in the context of the project Living Usability Lab (LUL) for Next Generation Networks and in other related AAL projects. The technical program will consist of a full day of oral presentations, showcasing both internal contributions to the LUL project and latest research and applications on Ambient Assisted Living.
The authors are invited to submit their research contributions. All papers will be peer reviewed by a team of referees composed by members of the LUL consortium as well as external experts and scientists. The event provides an opportunity to present state-of-art research and development in a variety of topics related with the LUL project, as well as an opportunity to come up-to-date on important issues involved in the enhancement of Ambient Assisted Living.

Joaquim Gabriel Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Porto Portugal |
Scope
The First International Workshop on Veterinary Biosignals and Biodevices (VBB) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on animal science, to present their work and to share their knowledge among others. By making it inside the Biosignals and Biodevices Conference, it will promote bridges between Veterinary, Human and Engineering sciences. The workshop will also offer the opportunity to fill the gap between academic researchers, practitioners and industrial parts.
VBB encourages authors to submit papers to one of the main topics indicated below, describing original work, including methods, techniques, advanced prototypes, recent advances in acquisition devices, applications, software applications, diagnosis systems and tools.

Scope
There is an increasing number of research initiatives that utilize modern technology in order to support patients in maintaining or regaining a healthy mental state. Advanced technological solutions have been exploited for treating depression, anxiety disorders, and for coping with stress. This is of utmost importance to provide people with higher quality of life and also to shift a part of monitoring tasks from therapists and caregivers to unobtrusive technological systems. Effort have started with Internet-based self-help therapies, but since recently systems make increasingly use of ambient intelligence, pervasive computing, smart phones and sensor systems. Their shared goal is to provide effective solutions for improving mental health.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both psychological and technological fields (such as computer science, artificial intelligence, information systems) that share the same interest of strengthening or maintaining mental health. The goal of MindCare workshop is to exchange ideas aiming to support synergy of the two domains for further progress in this field.
