ACM 1st International Workshop on Knowledge Management for Healthcare (KMH) October 26, 2018
http://dtmbiokmh.net/

Joint Summit with the ACM 12th International Workshop on Data and Text Mining in Biomedical Informatics (DTMBio)
In conjunction with ACM 27th Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM)
Lingotto, Turin, Italy, October 22 – October 26, 2018

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are widely used within health care, and they are playing an increasingly important role in the practice of medicine and in clinical research in a variety of scenarios, e.g.:.
– Smart healthcare systems are used for primary prevention purposes, with ICT solutions being employed for monitoring users’ activities and habits in order to infer the probability or likelihood of chronic disease onset.
– Knowledge-based data management solutions provide efficient representations of information (i.e. personal clinical data, documents and images content, etc.) enabling the construction of smart systems and ensuring the interoperability between healthcare platforms.
– Integrated knowledge-based business process solutions in organizational frameworks to support the monitoring and optimizing of processes implemented within healthcare organizations.
However, the lack of integration and semantic interoperability in healthcare information systems is the primary cause for limited efficient and effective digital solutions, which challenges the ability of the healthcare industry to reach its primary goal, i.e. to supply continuous care that is personalized for each patient and to put new knowledge into practice by translating clinical research results from “bench to bedside”.
The workshop on Knowledge Management Technologies for Healthcare aims cover a wide spectrum of topics concerned with the integration of knowledge management technologies within the healthcare domain including, communities of practice and social networks, analytics and engagement with tracking and monitoring wearable devices, big data, public health surveillance, persuasive technologies, epidemic intelligence, participatory surveillance, and emergency medicine.

*** Submission Guidelines ***
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates (available at the ACM official web site or KMH web site).

- Full papers: Submissions must describe substantial completed work. Full papers may consist of up to six (6) pages with the possibility of having a seventh page containing only references. Full papers will be presented at the workshop.
- Short papers: Short papers will be presented at the workshop, and will be given three (3) pages in the proceedings with the possibility of having a fourth page containing only references.
- Posters: We solicit quality posters that describe previously published or unpublished work. Posters will be presented at the workshop in a shared lightning talk session with the DTMBio Workshop (~5 mins for each poster).

All papers (in PDF format) should be submitted on Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtmbiokmh18)

Selected full papers (~8 papers) will be invited for a top-ranked journal (to be announced).


*** Important Dates (subject to change) ***
