==========================================================================
ICTS4eHealth 2017 - 2nd edition of the IEEE International Workshop
on ICT Solutions for e-Health
Aquila Atlantis Hotel, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
July 03, 2017 - www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it
in conjunction with the Twenty-Second 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 2017 is the second edition of the 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.
