--------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS
PerHealth 2010 - The First IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Healthcare (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/perhealth2010/)
in conjunction with the Eighth IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications - PerCom 2010 (http//www.percom.org/)
Mannheim, Germany March 29, 2010 (tentative) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** Paper Submission Deadline --- October 18, 2009 ****

Pervasive Healthcare constitutes one of the most promising and technically challenging application domains for pervasive computing. It involves many research areas, from wearable computing and ubiquitous connectivity to context-awareness, sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence, expert systems, medical analytics, databases and user-friendly interfaces. While significant technological progress has been achieved in the past few years, further work is needed to develop complete systems that can really improve the patient quality of life and reduce medical errors and costs. First of all, an efficient, reliable, and complete pervasive healthcare system must satisfy both medical and patient requirements in terms of accuracy, reliability, unobtrusiveness and user acceptance. To do this, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary starting from the integration of new wearable technologies in a single Body Area Network to the design and development of system architectures and middleware solutions able to support efficient and dependable services like continuous remote monitoring, patient tracking, and ambient assistance. The IEEE PerHealth workshop will provide a forum where researchers in the area of Pervasive Healthcare can discuss current results in the field and possible hints for future work. Original contributions are solicited related to all areas involved in the design of pervasive healthcare systems.
TOPICS
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wearable and Implantable sensors for healthcare - Pervasive communications in healthcare - Service and device discovery - Data fusion and context elaboration - Privacy and security issues in healthcare - Middleware for pervasive healthcare - Energy Efficiency in health monitoring - Artificial intelligence and expert systems - User interface, usability and acceptability of pervasive healthcare systems - Home monitoring and ambient assisted applications for healthcare - Healthcare applications for clinicians - Business Models of Pervasive Health Delivery - Standards and frameworks
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages including text, figures, references and appendices, organized following the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. The link for the templates can be found at: http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting .
All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the PerCom 2010 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. No-shows of accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers NOT being included in the IEEE Digital Library.
Extended versions of selected papers with special merit will be considered for a possible fast track publication on Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (Elsevier).
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: Oct. 18, 2009 Author notification: Dec. 21, 2009 Camera-ready due: Jan. 29, 2010
For further information, please contact the workshop chairs at perhealth2010-chairs@iit.cnr.it or visit the workshop website (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/perhealth2010/).
