	abstract = {A new context-aware data- and patient-centric
paradigm for ubiquitous healthcare is central to deliver personalized
healthcare solutions to the elderly and the physically
challenged. However, this new paradigm requires real-time in the-
field processing of wirelessly collected vital signs using inherently
complex physiological models and analysis of the processed
information (derived physiological parameters) under context
(e.g., location, ambient conditions, current physical activity)
to extract knowledge about the health condition of patients.
As the computational capabilities of biomedical sensor nodes
are insufficient to run these models, an innovative resource
provisioning framework that harnesses the computing capabilities
of under-utilized electronic devices in the vicinity (e.g., smart
phones, laptops, tablets, DVRs, medical terminals) to form a
mobile computing grid is presented. The framework is imparted
with self-optimization and self-healing capabilities for efficiency
and robustness under uncertainty, respectively. The proposed
mobile grid management framework serves as a key enabling
technology for Internet-of-Things- (IoT-) based next-generation
ubiquitous healthcare solutions.},
