=====================================================================
ICTS4eHealth 2016 - 1st IEEE International Workshop on ICT Solutions for
e-Health
University of Messina, Messina, Italy
June 27-30 2016 - www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it
<http://www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it/>
in conjunction with the Twenty-First IEEE Symposium on Computers and
Communications
=====================================================================
MISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting
cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging ICT
technologies for Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of
Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence, is attracting the interest of
many researchers.
The use of Cloud computing, IoT technologies, and methods typical of Soft
Computing and Computational Intelligence have been very prominent recently and
can be of great help in finding good solutions to many practical healthcare
applications.
For instance, health monitoring, health data storage, health data collection,
mobile health, pervasive health, healthcare monitoring, telemedicine,
context-aware computing, ubiquitous computing, processing health data in the
cloud, securing health data in the cloud and Assistive Technology (AT) are
areas of interest that are being addressed using cloud computing and IoT
techniques. On the other hand, several challenging issues have raised due to
the adoption of such emerging technologies. These include the quality of health
data, the ability to retrieve information and use it in health context, as for
example in tasks related to machine learning, knowledge discovery, decision
support, regression, forecasting, optimization, feature selection, and
additionally privacy and security issues of health data while being processed
in the cloud, availability of health data, models of context and
tele-monitoring of contextual applications.
ICTS4eHealth 2016 is the first International IEEE Workshop dedicated to ICT
solutions for e-Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things
(IoT), and Computational Intelligence.
The workshop will bring together researchers from academia, industry,
government, and medical centers in order to present the state of the art in the
emerging area of the use of cloud systems in connected health infrastructure
and applications, and the use of IoT and Computational Intelligence technique
in the area of eHealth.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, with a paper
length of six (6) printed pages, including figures, tables & references in IEEE
double-column format (IEEE standard conference templates). Submissions should
contain original material and not be previously published, or currently
submitted for consideration elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed for
scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee. Paper submission implies
the willingness of at least one author to register, at the regular rate
(non-student), and present the paper. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of
the ISCC 2016 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore
Digital Library.
The IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2016 Workshop is using the EDAS Conference Management
System to manage the paper submission process: http://edas.info/22287
