COMPUTER-BASED MEDICAL SYSTEMS(CBMS 2008)

Special Track 8: HEALTH KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

https://www.cs.tcd.ie/conferences/cbms08hkm/

CALL FOR PAPERS

Healthcare staff are notable in the amount of interaction and mobility exhibited in their work, which often involves
synchronous (or asynchronous), coupled, communication and activity, and is sometimes conducted among a distributed team.
As well as providing novel approaches to support traditional methods of communication, a range of technologies offer
the potential for individuals and groups to reconfigure their collaboration practices in new and useful ways.

This special track invites reports on significant unpublished work in the area of computer-support for co-operative work in
healthcare with particular emphasis on design and technology applications for interaction among medical specialists.
Research on support for collaboration among medical, nursing, scientific and ancillary staff is encouraged, including case
studies or incident reports. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Ward rounds
Shift handover
Meeting support
Mobile work
Team working
Consultations
Visual communication environments
Remote collaboration
Collaborative writing / notetaking
Shared displays
Intense collaborative environments
Computer support for co-operative healthcare work

Submission of paper (IEEE 2-column, 6-pages maximum)

Submission Procedure

Unlike workshops, where position papers and reports on initial and intended work are appropriate,
papers selected for a special track should report on significant unpublished work suitable for publication as a conference paper.

Submissions to this special track on Health Knowledge Management, will be done electronically via the CBMS
web submission system, which will open in December, approximately one month before the deadline January 28th,
2008. Prospective authors should simply choose the Special Track title �??ST8: Health Knowledge Management�??
when submitting a paper to this track.

No hardcopy submissions will be accepted. Electronic submission of original research papers will only be accepted in PDF format,
observing the IEEE guidelines and formatting instructions for full papers. Authors should refer to the general webpage of
CBMS 2008 for submission guidelines:
http://cbms2008.it.jyu.fi/

The format of IEEE CBMS 2008 proceedings will be the IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch format (2-column)
and submission is required in this format.

All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees. All accepted papers will be included in the
conference proceedings.
