Technological performance increases exponentially and Medical Information Systems and Decision Support Systems are extremely sophisticated. However, human cognitive performance does not advance at the same speed. Consequently, the focus on interaction and communication between human and computer is of increasing importance.

We are seeking high quality papers, which will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Accepted contributions will be published by Springer in their series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Suggestions for Tutorials and Workshops are also welcome.

TOPICS include but are not limited to:

* Medical Usability and New Research Methodologies * Formal Methods and Methodologies * Human-Computer Interaction in Health Care * Usability of Medical Information Systems * Human Aspects of Future Technologies in Health Care * Semantic Usability in Medicine and Health Care * Human Language Analysis and Natural Language Processing * Usability of Ontologies in the Medical Domain * Usage and Utility of Medical Terminology * Incident Investigation and Safety Issues for Health Care * Human Error and System Development * Usability and Human Aspects of Medical Informatics * Aspects of Usability in Info Vis for Medicine and Health Care * Usability Aspects of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine * Usability in Ambient Assisted Living and Life Long Learning * Cognitive Performance Support (CPS) in Medical Workflows * Augmented Cognition (AugCog) in Medical Workflows * Cognitive Workload in Medical Tasks * Problem Solving Support * Adaptivity and Usability of Medical Decision Support Systems * Usability of Mobile Computing in Medicine * Adaptive User Interfaces for Medical Information Systems * Simulations in Medicine * Log File Analysis in Health Care * User Centered Design & Development in Medicine and Health Care * Real-Life Usability Testing in the Hospital * Cognitive Task Analysis
