There is a clear consensus that our current healthcare models are not well suited for our future generations, in that they cannot be scaled up in a cost-effective manner for the growing healthcare needs. The key questions facing us are
NetHealth 2014 will adopt a new model to promote directly answering the above three questions, by bringing together leaders from both medical and engineering communities. The aim of the one-day workshop is to promote a deeper dialogue leading to actual collaborations. If you are serious about being part of the solution to one of the biggest challenges facing the mankind in this century, we invite you to participate in NetHealth. NetHealth 2014 will have a three-part agenda
(i) leaders from different areas laying out open challenges,
(ii) demos to lay out the land of new and novel ideas which have already taken shape, and
(iii) research papers which are inventing answers for the future.
We invite research papers, research demos, product presentations and position papers that present novel ideas for networked computing technology in support of healthcare, and which are likely to invoke thoughtful discussion at the workshop. Both academia and corporate contributions are highly welcome and encouraged. Of interest, though not exclusively, are the following topics:
Formatting Guidelines for Submitted Papers
The NetHealth workshop solicits paper submissions of up to 6 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. All papers must be electronically submitted via the NetHealth submission site on EDAS (Submit Papers to “NetHealth Workshop 2014 – Papers Only”) in PDF. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Xplore and will include the final papers of up to 6 pages in length. All NetHealth technical papers must be associated with an author registration at the full rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one full registration is valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the workshop (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the workshop.
Overall appearance: Submitted papers should adhere to the appearance of the standard IEEE twocolumn format that is used for IEEE Transactions.
Margins: Papers must use a 10pt font on US Letter paper with margins no smaller than 0.75in for the top margin, 1.0in for the bottom margin, and 0.625in for side margins.
Templates: Depending on whether you are using LaTeX or Microsoft Word for formatting your paper, you can download the relevant templates that incorporate the formatting specifications at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Demo Session
In addition, NetHealth 2014 will feature a demo session on the day of the workshop to allow industry and academic researchers to showcase their latest applications and prototypes in all related topics. Demo proposals are invited for both mature or innovative systems and prototypes developed for commercial use or for research purposes, from industries or universities. The submitted demo proposal should include all relevant technical content in a maximum of 2 pages in double column format. The demo proposals can be submitted on EDAS (“NetHealth Workshop 2014 – Demos Only”) or simply emailed to Ashu Sabharwal ([email protected]).
Each paper acceptance is subject to the conditions that the paper does not contain any plagiarized material and that the authors do not submit the paper material in parallel to another publication venue. Violations of these conditions will most likely result in rejections of the violating submissions or even already accepted papers.
