IEEE eHPWAS'16: Fourth international IEEE workshop on e-health pervasive wireless applications and services 2016

The fifth international IEEE workshop on e-Health Pervasive Wireless Applications and Services e-HPWAS'17 (in conjunction with the 13h IEEE WiMob conference) targets providing optimal, secured and context aware e-health services with the best quality of services (QoS) and user’s experience (QoE). Applications and services are considered in wireless environments and architecture with the use of IoT (Internet of things), big data analysis and a strong heterogeneity of the used access technologies, sensors, terminals, users’ needs and services (data, content, live streams or complex network services). Emerging e-Health services and applications can involve the use of “heavy” content such as multimedia content and streams (e.g. 3D-TV, media conferencing, remote live diagnostics) using conventional e-health devices but also using terminals like smart TV sets, home-boxes, smartphones and tablets. The considered issues of e-HPWAS are related to e-Health care and safety services provided for patients, elderly and dependent persons. These services are generally built using different communication technologies, for different profiles of people and in different contexts and places (e.g. in health institutions, at home, in the city). Provided services should, ideally, be accessible anytime, anywhere and using any kind of device or platform. eHPWAS encourages the submission of original works describing research results, practical or industrial e-health solutions. Papers describing advanced prototypes, platforms, techniques and general survey for discussing future perspectives and directions are also encouraged. CALL FOR PAPERS >> All accepted papers will be published in the 13h IEEE WiMob WiMob proceedings published by IEEE, and will be accessible via IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed by DBLP. The workshops will be held in Rome, Italy - October 9, 2017. A selection of accepted papers of high quality will be considered and authors will be invited to produce an extended version to be published in a special issue of a specialized journal.
