ESAS 2015 - 10th IEEE International Workshop on E-Health Systems & Semantic Web

E-health systems play a significant role in the well-being of individuals, as medical solutions or for healthcare towards everyday well-being. New models and methods continue to be developed to produce safer healthcare environments. The rapid growth of using such devices and technologies in medical fields has generated new opportunities for emerging application improvement; however, huge challenges still continue in order to develop consistent, suitable, safe, flexible and power-efficient systems fit for medical needs. In unison with the main conference, the main theme of ESAS 2015 is Applying Semantic Web Technologies in Agent-Oriented Software Engineering of Distributed e-Health Systems - Challenges and Prospects.
Papers on Semantic Web technology and e-health topics are welcome. Semantic Web technologies render dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed and shared content equally accessible to human readers and software agents. Distributed agents functioning autonomously can ultilize Semantic Web content to gather and aggregate knowledge for reasoning and inferring new results towards achieving their goals and generating new knowledge. Such knowledge in turn may be disseminated and used to achieve the shared goal of the application system. Here, the vision is to achieve a synergy with e-health systems whereby both semantics and agents will be equal on the center stage.
ESAS Workshops are garnering the synergy of both technologies by taking up both medicine and healthcare through Web technologies. Topics of interest span a wide spectrum in both theory and practice of autonomous Web based e-health systems, context-aware intelligent e-health agents, e-health Web services, software e-health agents, mobile e-health agents, intelligent e-health systems, e-health architectures, multi-agent e-health systems, emerging e-health systems, mobile e-health systems, cloud for e-health systems, e-health systems for diagnosis, monitoring and medical feedback, e-health agent communities, developing image and video processing on e-health, e-health ontology, inferencing on e-health, safety and security in health systems, other QoS issues, privacy and so on. Authors are invited to submit original technical papers and novel research contributions in any aspect of e-health covering but not limited to the topics of interested listed below.
