Workshop in the context of BCS HCI, SEP,2,2008
to be held at Liverpool John Moores University
http://www.hci2008.org (SEP 1-5)
Human-Computer Interaction for Medicine and Health Care (HCI4MED)
http://hci4all.at/HCI4MED08.html
Organized by
Andreas HOLZINGER, Research Unit HCI4MED, Institute of med. Informatics,
Statistics and Documentation, Medical University Graz, AT
Harold THIMBLEBY, Future Interaction Technologies Laboratory, Department
of Computer Science, Swansea University, UK
Russell BEALE, Advanced Interaction Group, School of Computer Science,
University of Birmingham, UK
General Theme:
Ensuring good usability can be seen as the key success factor in our
digital world: technology must support people. In particular, Medicine
and Health Care are currently subject to exceedingly rapid technological
change and because they involve a range of people - technicians,
doctors, patients, nurses, managers - the role of usability is of
increasing importance. Consequently, Medicine and Health Care offer
great challenges for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Usability
Engineering (UE) research. The optimization of processes and operational
sequences is of increasing interest, but we need to ensure that we
engineer effective, repeatable solutions as well as understanding the
stakeholders and the issues they can and do encounter. It is
particularly important for Medical Information Systems (e.g. Hospital
Information Systems and Decision Support Systems) to be designed from
the perspective of the end users, especially given that this is a
diverse set of people.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Formal Methods and Methodologies (incl. Agile Methods);
Usability of Medical Information Systems;
Human Aspects of Future Technologies in Health Care;
Incident Investigation and Safety Issues for Healthcare;
Human Error and System Development;
Usability and Human Aspects of Medical Informatics;
Aspects of Usability in Information Visualization;
Usability in Ambient Assisted Living and Life Long Learning;
Augmented Cognition (AugCog) in medical workflows etc.;
Device design;
Collaborative and distributed Health Care;
Procedure:
1) JUL,16,2008 send your manuscript (not exceeding 4000 words) as pdf
directly to: [log in to unmask]
Submissions undergo rigorous reviews by at least three independent
reviewers.
2) AUG,15,2008 authors will be notified on the review outcome
3) SEP,2,2008 Presentation of accepted papers during the workshop.
Based on the feedback and discussions, authors have the opportunity to
extend their contribution up to 8000 words following the author
guidelines available at
http://ees.elsevier.com/ijhcs
4) NOV,14,2008 SUBMISSION DEADLINE to the online EES system of the
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS)
There will be a separate CfP for this special issue: New submissions
will undergo a 2-round review process; papers previously accepted for
the HCI4MED workshop will undergo one round, however, extended versions
of conference papers must contain at least 50% new material.
5) FEB,16,2009 Final notification of acceptance
Revisions done by the authors.
6) APRIL,16, 2009 Final revision due
Special Issue of the
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMAN-COMPUTER STUDIES (IJHCS)
Target publication date: Summer 2009
IJHCS is a highly prestigious journal in the field of HCI and innovative
interactive systems. Articles must be based on original research.
