Dear users of Hpc-Announce mailing list,
FYI
[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP]

===========================================================================
ICTS4eHealth 2020 - 5th edition of the IEEE International Workshop on ICT
Solutions for e-Health
The conference will be held in Rennes, France
July 7th, 2020 - http://icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it

in conjunction with the Twenty-Fifth IEEE Symposium on Computers and
Communications (ISCC)
===========================================================================

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 2020 is the fifth 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.

pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers in the IEEE double
column proceedings format including tables, figures and references.
Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings here.

Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no
additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee.
Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the
conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will
be published in the conference proceedings.

All papers should be submitted via EasyChair using the following link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeiscc2020 and then secelting
"ICTS4eHealth Workshop" track.

Please, contact us for any questions regarding the submission of
manuscripts.

Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2020 Proceedings and will be
submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC Proceedings have been
indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference
