WMCCH 2013 - The First Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing in Healthcare

The First Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing in Healthcare (WMCCH)
A mobile cloud computing for healthcare (MCCH) system is a specific type of mobile cloud computing system that focuses on healthcare and wellness applications. Examples of MCCH include body sensor networks for long term healthcare monitoring, sensor-based elder care systems, smartphone apps for Alzheimer’s. In these examples, cloud computing, mobile computing and wireless networking are combined to build successful solutions. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, researchers, and practitioners working in the areas of MCCH to share and exchange ideas, experiences, and lessons leant.

Call For Papers
Pervasive high speed wireless networks, powerful mobile devices, and scalable cloud computing resources has led to the rise of a new area typically known as mobile cloud computing (MCC). In a MCC ecosystem, all three technologies are seamlessly combined together, giving rise to new applications. A mobile cloud computing for healthcare (MCCH) system is a specific MCC system that focuses on healthcare and wellness applications.
Healthcare informatics require systems with stringent requirements (security, reliability, fault tolerant, QoS, etc.). The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, researchers, and practitioners working in the areas of MCC in healthcare to share and exchange ideas, experiences, and lessons leant.
Note that submissions do not need to incorporate all three areas (mobile, cloud, wireless), but must be related to healthcare.
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
MCCH prototype systems
Programming models for MCCH applications
Security and privacy for regulatory compliance and/or novel threats to MCCH applications
Algorithmic foundations for MCCH applications
Algorithms and techniques to provide and validate Quality of service (QoS) for MCCH applications
Fault tolerant, resilient systems, algorithm, and protocol design for MCCH applications
Coexistence of heterogeneous systems (e.g. wireless standards, hardware, etc) in MCCH systems
Real world MCCH application deployment experiences and lessons
Data management, cleaning, and mining of MCCH generated data streams
Health information technology (HIT) and MCCH
