SCOPE OF WORKSHOPS
Following the success history of the workshops at the ICHI Conference we cordially invite you to submit your workshop proposal to the IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2015) to be held in Dallas on October 21st – 23rd 2015.
Every workshop at ICHI 2015 can be half-day or one-day. It will be held as part of ICHI 2015. Topics should be relevant to healthcare informatics. We are particularly interested in the emerging topics that will draw attention from the community. A full list of current topics of interest in ICHI 2015 can be found below and at http://cs.utdallas.edu/ichi2015/contributors/topics/ All ICHI workshop papers will be appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be made available on IEEE Explore.
The ideal ICHI workshop proposal will focus on a timely and emerging topic, and be able to attract a number of interesting and high-quality contributions that spark discussions in an informal setting. The goal is to stimulate interactive conversations and inspire new research ideas in focused areas. The workshop organizers can determine the format that may include paper presentations, invited talks, and panels that will foster the interaction and discussion of the audiences. The approved workshop organizers are responsible to invite and review submissions, decide the workshop program, and coordinate the workshop.
