SAC'06 - ACM 2006 SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED COMPUTING
(http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2006)
April 23-27, 2006, Dijon, France
Special Track on Computer Applications in Health Care (CAHC)
http://lil.univ-littoral.fr/~collet/SAC06CAHC.html
1. SAC 2006
For the last twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC)
has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from
around the world. SAC 2006 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group
on Applied Computing, and is hosted this year by Bourgogne University,
Dijon, France. For additional information, please visit the ACM SAC 2006
web site (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2006).
2. Special track on Computer Applications in Health Care
Advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have
provided the tools and the environment to study, analyze, and better
understand complex medical problems. This technological development has
enabled researchers to provide increasingly advanced services, including
Computer Aided Radiology, Computer Aided Surgery, Augmented Reality,
Telemedicine, Robotized Teleoperating Systems, etc. In recent years,
research in Computer Applications applied to Health Care has dramatically
intensified.
The Track "Computer Applications in Health Care" in SAC 2006 aims to
provide a platform for researchers to present and discuss recent
breakthroughs in this area. Major topics of interest include the
following in the context of Health Care. This is not an exhaustive list:
- Programming methodologies in applications for health care including
object oriented, component oriented, aspect oriented, agent oriented,
genetic and evolutionary programming, fuzzy programming and hybrid
paradigms, Artificial Intelligence in health care.
- Theoretical aspects of computer programming with a clear practical
potential in applying the results to health care.
- Open Source software for Health Care.
- Computer applications for Medical Imaging (segmentation, 3D
reconstruction, Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality,
etc.)
- Web programming and engineering involving health care applications.
- Knowledge recovery in databases, including data mining and methods
such as clustering, classification, Bayesian networks and association
rules.
- Computer applications for Telemedicine and Telecare applications.
- Methodologies for e-health, Telehealth and knowledge management
integration in intranets and the Internet.
- Computer applications for Teleteaching of health care.
- Decision support systems, including knowledge based systems, belief
networks, statistical models, fuzzy models, evolutionary programming,
hybrid systems, and intelligent agents.
- Evidence-based health care including computer assisted diagnosis
and prognosis, risk analysis, example-based learning, problem-based
learning and case-based reasoning.
- Human-Computer Interaction including human factors, Cognitive
Modeling, Problem solving strategies, Linguistic Comprehension,
User interface design, Direct manipulation techniques and Virtual
Reality.
- Health care information systems and Groupware, including Computerized
Patient Records, survey applications in health care specialties,
Decision Support Systems, Clinical Information System design
architectures and Electronic document interchange and Computer-
Supported Collaborative Work.
- Theoretical or practical ICT applications involving health care.
Computer applications for Medical Informatics (Computer Aided
Radiology, Computer Aided Surgery, ...) Any other computer
application in health care.
3. Topics
Preferential topics in 2006 edition of SAC Special Track on Computer
Applications in Health Care Authors are invited to submit original papers
in all areas of experimental computing and application development
relevant to the themes of the track, among which preferentially:
- Computer applications for medical imaging and Computer Aided Surgery.
- Open Source software for Health Care.
- Programming methodologies in applications for health care.
- Computer applications for Telemedicine and Telecare.
- Artificial Intelligence applied to Health Care.
Submissions fall into the following categories:
- Original and unpublished research work.
- Reports of innovative computing applications in the sciences, and
engineering areas of Health Care.
- Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains.
- Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems.
Peer reviewers with expertise in the track focus areas will blindly
review submissions to this track. Papers will be selected based on their
originality, timeliness, significance, relevance and clarity of
presentation. Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the
ACM Press SAC 2005 proceedings. Expanded versions of selected papers
from all categories will be considered for publication in the ACM/SIGAPP
Applied Computing Rev iew (SIGAPP ACR). In addition, the possibility of
organizing special issues in journals related to the themes of the track
is examined. These Special Issues will include a collection of the best
papers accepted in the track.
A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will
be accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended 2-page
abstracts in the symposium proceedings.
Please note that we are not soliciting for just poster papers. We will
select the poster papers from the submitted pool of reviewed, regular
papers.
Paper submissions should be sent to the Track Chairs in PDF format.
Papers spanning more than one SAC track should be submitted to one track
only.
4. Guidelines for paper submission
The following paper submission guidelines must be strictly followed:
a) An abstract must be submitted on the following web page:
http://milo.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2006/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsac2006%2fSubmitAbstract.aspx%3fTrackID%3d31&TrackID=31
by Saturday. September 3 2005. This will allow the chairs to select
appropriate reviewers for your paper and give you one more week to
finish your paper. A confirmation email with further instructions on
paper submission will be sent to the contact author. Please contact
track chairs or Jeff Allen ([log in to unmask]) for any problems with
submission.
b) Submit the full paper in PDF format to both track chairs
([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) by Friday September 9 2005
(firm).
(Hardcopy, fax or submissions in other wierd formats such as Word will
not be considered).
c) The submission e-mail subject should read Submission to SAC'06 CAHC
track. The body should include:
i) the title of the paper,
ii) a maximum of five keywords selected among the topics of interest
of the track,
iii) the name, affiliation, address, email, phone, and fax of the
author who will serve as CONTACT PERSON for the paper.
d) A separate file containing a cover sheet should include the title of
the paper, a maximum of five keywords selected among the topics of
interest of the track, the name(s), affiliation(s), and address(es),
email(s), phone(s) and fax(es) of the author(s).
e) The name(s) and address(es) of the author(s) must not appear in the
body of the paper, and self-references should be made in the third
person in order to facilitate blind review.
f) The body of the paper (in PDF format) should not exceed 4,000 words
(approximately 15 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font size). In order
to give you as much information as possible for you to prepare your
paper, keep in mind that up to last year, the camera-ready version
without extra page fee was to be 5 pages long, in sig-alternate.cls
format. A maximum of 8 pages was allowed for an additional page charge
specified on the web site. The same should apply for this year although
nothing is specified yet.
g) At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register for
the conference and present the paper.
5. Important dates
Electronic submission of full papers: September 3, 2005
Notification of paper acceptance: October 15, 2005
Camera-ready copy of accepted paper due: November 5, 2005
