FHIES 2014 - Fourth Symposium on Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems (FHIES)

FHIES '14 seeks contributions from both the solution domain (engineering and scientific methods) and the problem domain (healthcare and health informatics). Solution-domain papers should present their methods in the context of a concrete application in healthcare, while problem-domain papers should be devised to educate the formal methods community about unique challenges and characteristics of the healthcare domain. Submissions should seek to inform and further the development, adaptation, evaluation and adoption of formally based and rigorous engineering methods in health care systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Conformance to regulations and standards and the certification of software-intensive ICT systems in healthcare..
Interoperability between devices and with information systems, integration across institutions and jurisdictions
Application and integration of foundational methods from different disciplines in engineering and science (including automation of clinical guidelines, ontology development and reasoning, cloud computing and social networking, mobile devices and pervasive computing)
Health service delivery in different settings, including the developing world.
Software quality, security, safety issues in health care systems and processes
Effective integration of medical devices into overall healthcare systems and processes
Determining the quality of the software in healthcare systems, including embedded medical devices
Requirements engineering for healthcare processes and systems
Healthcare process definition, analysis, automation, and improvement
Architectures for healthcare systems and system integration
User interface issues in healthcare systems and processes
Healthcare issues in aging-in-place (Eldercare)
Privacy of healthcare data
Privacy-preserving sharing of healthcare data
Trusted, privacy-preserving analytics of aggregated healthcare data
