The provision of healthcare supported by electronic processes and communication is an area that is expanding almost exponentially. E-Health is a field that embraces medical informatics, public health and business, referring to health services and information delivered or enhanced through the Internet and related technologies.
In order to learn about recent developments different from those presented at rigid forums of scientific, technical and academic conferences, it is crucial to provide opportunities for researchers, developers, investors, entrepreneurs, regulatory experts, decision makers and corporate executives to share ideas on business models and opportunities, discuss advances in their R&D efforts and talk about regulatory issues impacting their current projects. The Position Paper Track caters exactly for this need by providing a forum to present leading developments relevant to state-of-the-art technologies.
Submission Instructions
The length of submitted articles varies according to the three types of position papers; Standard Papers (8 pages), Short Papers (4 pages) and Work-In-Progress Papers (2 pages). The criteria of selection for papers will be based on novelty, innovation and originality.
