*** Fourth Call for Papers ***
First International Conference on ICT for Health, Accessibility
and
Wellbeing (IHAW 2021)
November 8-10, 2021, Golden Bay Hotel 5*, Larnaca, Cyprus
http://cyprusconferences.org/ihaw2021/
(Proceedings to be published by Springer;
Special Journal Issue with SN Computer Science)
ICT for Health, Accessibility and Wellbeing (IHAW 2021) is the
first of the
series of International Conferences on "ICT for Societal
Challenges". It is a
showcase for high quality oral and poster presentations and
demonstrations
sessions. This conference aims to be a platform for multi and
interdisciplinary
research at the interplay between Information and Communication
Technologies, Biomedical, Neuro-cognitive, and Experimental
research.
This research includes the design, experimental evaluation and
standardization of new ICT scalable systems and in-silico systems
for new
and future inclusive and sustainable technologies that benefit
all: healthy
people, people with disabilities or other impairments, people
having chronic
diseases, etc. User-centered design and innovation, new intuitive
ways of
human -computer interaction, and user acceptance are the topics of
particular interest.
Conference Topics
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
• AI and Cognition, Cognitive Mechatronics, Human-Machine
Interaction,
Cobotics, Model-based design and configuration tools for
healthcare and
well-being, AI methods for medical device testing
• Systems for management of health and care (mental health, pain,
neurological disorders, sight, hearing, balance, space awareness;
sensory
based physiological and psychological non-invasive measurements,
preventive healthcare, m-healthcare, e-healthcare, integrated
care, serious
games, electronic health record, self-management, patient-centered
systems
for survivorship, palliation and/or end-of-life care)
• Precision medicine
• ICT for in-silico trials
• Implantable medical devices
• Computational methods for medical device
• Models for human-device interaction for medicine
• Systems promoting access to the socio-economical and cultural
environment
• Age-friendly systems for active and healthy aging (telepresence,
robotics
solutions, innovative solutions for independent living, innovative
elderly care,
integrated care, age-related risks prevention/detection)
• Multimodal assistive ICT devices to empower people with sensory,
cognitive, motor, balance and spatial impairments
• ICT systems to improve the quality of life and for daily life
activities
assistance (education, recreation, and nutrition)
• Smart living homes and wearables (Intelligent and personalized
digital
solutions for sustaining and extending healthy and independent
living;
personalized early risk detection and intervention)
• New experimental validation methods with end-users
• Standardization, certification, labeling, privacy, security and
communication
issues (related to aging well, to sensory impairment)
High-quality original submissions that address such future issues,
show the
design and evaluation in (near-) real scenarios, explain how to
benchmark
systems, and outline the education and training procedures for
acquiring new
perceptual skills while using such systems are welcome.
Research and technical papers are expected to present significant
and original
contributions validated with the targeted end-users. Early works
and works-
in-progress are invited to submit a short or demo paper.
Submissions should clearly state the progress beyond the existing
state-of-
the-art and the expected societal benefits of the developed
technology. When
possible, validate scenarios with the target user groups and
well-identified
technology readiness levels
(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level)
should be at least outlined.
Submissions
We invite three types of paper submissions:
1. Research and Technical papers, up to 15 pages, describing
original
unpublished research, making a substantial contribution to the
research field
2. Short papers, up to 6 pages, describing original unpublished
research,
making a small but solid contribution to the field
3. Demos, up to 4 pages, describing innovative tools that address
topics
relevant to the conference
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
Accepted
contributions will appear in the archival proceedings of IHAW
2021,
published by Springer in the Communications in Computer and
Information
Science (CCIS) series (
https://www.springer.com/series/7899),
and will be presented in plenary sessions of the conference.
The authors of the best papers accepted for IHAW2021 will be
invited to
submit extended versions for a special issue with SN Computer
Science
(
https://www.springer.com/journal/42979).
Submissions of all types should be carefully formatted according
to the
Springer format for conference proceedings:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
and should specify on the first page the type of submission
("R&T", "Short",
"Demo"). The submission process will be handled through Easy Chair
and the
submission link is:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icihaw2021 .
