When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the ‘‘Manuscript Type’’ as ‘‘Special Issue,’’ enter the ‘‘Running Head’’ as ‘‘SCN-SI-017,’’ and the ‘‘Special Issue Title’’ as ‘‘Privacy and Security on Pervasive e-Health and Assistive Environments,’’ respectively.

Scope of Contributions This Special Issue aims at providing researchers and professionals with an insight on Privacy and Security on Pervasive e-Health and Assistive Environments. Motivated by the above observations, this special issue is organized to accommodate the most state-of-the-art implementations and research studies on achieving secure and privacy-preserving pervasive e-health and assistive environments. We seek for new and unpublished research contributions from research, industry, government, business, and the academia, that:

•Investigate underpinning security and privacy models bringing together expertise from interdisciplinary fields such as technology, law, and management sciences. •Facilitate the applicability of security and privacy models for pervasive e-health and assistive environments. •Develop new management paradigms for emerging technologies and architectures.

In particular, papers which cover the following areas (but not limited to) are highly solicited: •Policies and practices for access, authentication, authorization, and auditing for health information systems in order to protect the privacy and security of electronic health information. •Policies for sharing/exchange of patient’s sensitive information among health/assistance providers for example, during an emergency. •Legislation issues related to handling of protected health information in pervasive e-health environments. •Secure data access in e-health and assistive infrastructures. •Trust and privacy issues in e-health and assistive environments. •Sensor network security for e-health environments. •RFID, sensor networks and biometrics to enable security in e-health and assistive environments. •Encryption, cryptographic techniques to ensure privacy and security in e-health. •Case studies in respect to privacy and security in e-health environments. •Trust and privacy issues in e-health and assistive environments. •Sensor network security for e-health environments. •RFID, sensor networks and biometrics to enable security in e-health and assistive environments. •Encryption, cryptographic techniques to ensure privacy and security in e-health. •Case studies in respect to privacy and security in e-health environments. -------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors •Grammati Pantziou, Technological Educational Institution of Athens, E-mail: pantziou@teiath.gr •Fillia Makedon, University of Texas Arlington, USA, E-mail: makedon@uta.edu •Petros Belsis, Technological Educational Institution of Athens, E-mail: pbelsis@cs.teiath.gr
