Pervasive Health 2011

Pervasive Health 2011 Conference 23rd-26th May, 2011 :: Dublin, Ireland 
http://www.pervasivehealth.org/


---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - -  -  -  -  -   -
Submission deadline: February 4th, 2011
---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - -  -  -  -  -   -

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 5th International Conference
on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare.

The overall goal of the conference remains tightly coupled with the original
aims of the field, to address a set of related technologies and concepts
that help integrate healthcare more seamlessly into everyday life,
regardless of space and time.  To achieve this, it is necessary to take a
multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and
development. 

The Pervasive Healthcare Community has a broad scope of research topics and
concerns: 
- identifying and understanding problems from a technological, social, and
medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and
supporting patient needs);
- design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software
infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and
- organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive
Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. 

The 2011 Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather technology experts,
practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards
the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based
technologies, standards and procedures. 

The theme of this year’s conference is: Coping with the Challenges and
Opportunities within Pervasive E-Healthcare (COPE), with a special focus on
pervasive healthcare management and its ability to deliver timely, quality
based information to medical practitioners in providing high levels of
patient care. The challenges and opportunities within e-Healthcare are
immense. A multidisciplinary and coordinated approach is needed from 1) user
requirements, 2) technology development and 3) application integration, to
help deliver a successful pervasive healthcare management system.
Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to
manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient
conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource
constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety
of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health
care environments. 
Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no
meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments,
through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data
presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of
patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and
health management.

Emerging Synergies of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering

===== Call for Papers ====
 
A Special Issue on "Emerging Synergies of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering"
International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering
 
http://zimmer.csufresno.edu/~shliu/IJSEKE/
 
** Theme:
As software engineering is requested to answer dynamic, automated, adaptive, optimal and/or large-scale demands, other computer science disciplines come to play. Artificial Intelligence is one of them that may bring software engineering into further height. Conversely, software engineering techniques also play an important role to alleviate development cost and time of AI techniques as well as assist in introducing new AI techniques. Such mutually beneficial characteristics have appeared in the past few decades and still evolved due to new challenges. Several exemplified challenges include, but not limited to, how machine learning addresses software optimization problems derived from new software approaches (e.g., model-driven engineering, service-oriented computing, and cloud computing); and conversely how these new software approaches may help develop artificial intelligence-related software environments.
 
A special issue on "Emerging Synergies of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering" of the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering will devote to the latest innovative “synergistic” AI and software engineering techniques/practices to the aforementioned challenges. Namely, we are interested in new and novel AI solutions to software engineering challenges, software engineering practices to answer AI obstacles, and techniques that could benefit these realms bi-directionally.

                                Athens, Greece


ENASE 2010 will be held in conjunction with ICSOFT 2010
Hosted by the University of Piraeus
Proceedings indexed by THOMSON REUTERS - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Awaiting confirmation of indexation)

Let me kindly inform you that ENASE 2010 is now welcoming the submission of position papers, whose deadline is set to March 29th. ENASE will be held in Athens, Greece, during 22 - 24 July 2010. The deadlines are:

> Position Paper Submission: March 29, 2010
> Authors Notification (position papers): April 26, 2010
> Final Position Paper Submission and Registration: May 3, 2010

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster", i.e. a position paper is not a candidate to acceptance as "full paper".
 
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support. 
We are still awaiting the confirmation of indexation by INSPEC, DBLP, Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index and EI.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) Series.
 
You may obtain further information at the conference Website (http://www.enase.org/). 
 
Don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
