SEHC 2013 - 5th International Workshop on Software Engineering in Health Care

The world faces increasing reliance on software-intensive systems to manage quality health care services, from scheduling, billing, and health care records to the control of life-critical devices and process-guided procedures. Unique challenges and risks arise with the development, evolution, and integration of health software. The goal of this fourth workshop is to continue the development of an interdisciplinary community to identify and address software engineering challenges in health care applications.
We solicit submissions in the following, non-exclusive areas:
Software engineering for clinical, home, and mobile healthcare systems (subsuming information and communication systems and devices)
Quality assurance techniques including testing, static/dynamic analyses, and formal methods in health care systems, processes, and medical devices
Security engineering aspects of health care systems
Middleware and interoperability infrastructure for integration of medical devices into overall healthcare systems
Requirements engineering for health care processes and systems (involving many different stakeholders)
Model-driven engineering for health care systems and system integration
Architectures and product line techniques for healthcare systems and system integration
Healthcare process definition, analysis, automation, and improvement
User interface issues in health care systems and processes
Certification and regulatory issues in medical device and health care system development
