IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COMPSAC 2022 AUTHORS
COMPSAC 2022 will be completely virtual as it was in 2020 and 2021, and all presentations will be done virtually. We will announce this update also in the submission acceptance letters to authors. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide a video of their presentation together with the submission of the final version of their papers. COMPSAC will provide detailed guidance regarding preparation and submission of these videos.
17th IEEE International Workshop on E-Health Systems & Web Technologies (ESAS 2022)
Goal of the workshop:
ESAS 2022 fosters the following complementary objectives:
- Inquiring into the theory and practice of engineering health systems, especially methods, means, and best cases;
- Exploring into unifying software engineering methodologies employed in the health informatics applications across domains,
- Investigating the models and applications that aim to preserve security and privacy of patient health records; and,
- Using relevant methodologies of Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Deep Learning, Semantic Web as well as incorporating Recommendation, Knowledge-Based Reasoning, Decision Support, and Expert Systems to implement intelligent and resilient computing in an uncertain world for E-Health.
Workshop theme:
E-Health systems play a significant role in the well-being of individuals, be it as medical solutions or for everyday healthcare. New models and methods continue to be developed to produce safer healthcare environments. The rapid growth in usage of such devices and technologies in medical fields has generated new opportunities for emerging application improvement. Huge challenges still remain to be resolved in order to develop consistent, suitable, safe, flexible, inter-connected and power-efficient systems fit for medical needs. In unison with the main conference, the main theme of ESAS 2022 will be “Computers, Software, and Applications in an Uncertain World” for E-Health.
Scope of the workshop:
Web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed and shared content equally accessible to human reader and software agents. Distributed agents functioning autonomously can utilize Web content to gather and aggregate knowledge for reasoning and inferring new results towards achieving their goals as well as generating new knowledge. Such knowledge in turn may be disseminated and used to achieve the shared goal of the application system. Here, the vision is to achieve a synergy with E-Health systems whereby both semantics and agents will be equally in the center stage. Therefore, paper proposals on approaches and applications of big data analytics, knowledge-based expert systems, machine learning, security, privacy, and Web technologies for affecting E-/M-health Systems in the digital world are welcome. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice.
Authors are invited to submit original technical papers and novel research contributions in any aspect of E-Health covering but not limited to the topics of interest listed below.
