Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an important role in the decision making process, in the way the data of the patients are collected, treated, processed, anticipating and avoiding critical situations, as well to test and simulate new treatments and devices.   The big question to be answered is: How Artificial Intelligence can help to overcome these challenges and improve the efficiency of medicine?   Data Science, Sensing, Pervasiveness, Ubiquity and Intelligent Agents in Medicine, can contribute with new artefacts and new knowledge for health professionals.   AI aims to improve the usability of programs for assisting physicians in figuring out what is wrong with the patients and provide new solutions to help making better decisions.   AI systems are intended to support healthcare practitioners in the normal course of their duties, assisting with tasks that rely on the manipulation of data and knowledge.   In particular, these systems have for example the capacity to learn, leading to the discovery of new phenomena and the creation of medical knowledge improving human health and longevity.  This track promotes a forum to discuss and present emergent topics, new projects and ideas about how AI can contribute to the field of Medicine and, improve patient conditions.   By bringing together researchers from two distinct areas is expected to produce new scientific and technical knowledge in a particular area as is medicine.   Special attention will be given to the social impact/gain of the AI contributions in medicine.     TOPICS OF INTEREST  Innovative and exciting works are welcome in areas including but not limited to:    Medical methodologies, architectures, environments, and systems.  •	Agents for information retrieval;  •	AI in Medical Education and Clinical Management;  •	Wellbeing and lifestyle support;  •	Interoperability, Security, Pervasiveness, Ubiquity and Cloud Computing in Medicine;  •	Methodological, philosophical, ethical, and social issues of AI in Medicine;  •	Pervasive Healthcare Environments;  •	Software architectures.

FiCloud 2017

5th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud
21-23 August 2017, Prague, Czech Republic

http://www.ficloud.org/2017/workshops.php

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
Deadline for submission of workshops proposals (via email): 21 January 2017

==============================================

 

WORKSHOP FORMAT

 

FiCloud 2017 invites workshop proposals. Research and industrial community is invited to submit proposals of Workshops for FiCloud 2017 – The 5th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud to be held at Prague, Czech Republic, 21-23 August 2017: http://www.ficloud.org/2017/

 

The main objective of the workshops is to provide a forum for researchers and professionals to discuss a specific topics related to the theme of FiCloud 2017. Each workshop will be coordinated by an Organizing Committee (Workshop Chair) composed of, at least, two researchers in the field. The organizers should create an international Program Committee for the Workshop, with recognized researchers within the specific Workshop scientific area.

 

The selection of Workshops will be performed by FiCloud 2017 Workshop Coordinator. Workshops full and short papers will be published in the conference main proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Service (CPS) (approval pending). The proceedings will be submitted to the IEEE-Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society (CSDL) digital libraries. The proceedings are also submitted for indexing through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services;

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for a special issues in international journals (see Journal Special Issues section).
