Call for Papers
International Conference for Smart Health (ICSH) 2014


Beijing, China 
July 10-11, 2014
http://www.icsh2014.org


Advancing Informatics for healthcare and healthcare applications has become an international research priority. There is increased effort to transform reactive care to proactive and preventive care, clinic-centric to patient-centered practice, training-based interventions to globally aggregated evidence, and episodic response to continuous well-being monitoring and maintenance. 


In 2013, the International Conference for Smart Health 2013 was successfully held in Beijing, China. Researchers and practitioners from related fields attended this conference and engaged in active interdisciplinary discussions concerning bio-medical, IT, and policy topics. The International Conference for Smart Health 2014 is intended to provide a forum for the growing smart health research community to discuss the principles, algorithms and applications of intelligent data acquisition, processing, and analysis of healthcare data. The ICSH conference proceedings will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Selected papers will also be considered for IEEE Intelligent Systems and ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems.

IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) 2014 Industry Track Call for Papers


* Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP *




Beijing China August 17-20, 2014
Home Page: www.asonam2014.org


Full paper/short paper/extended abstract submission deadline: May 23, 2014 (extended)


===========================================================================================


Social network analysis and mining techniques are being widely applied in industrial settings. In many cases such techniques are incubating and defining new industry sectors. Industry research in related areas is growing fast and a lot of exciting ideas, and innovative techniques and applications originated from these industry research activities.


The Industrial Track of the 2014 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) seeks submissions in all submission categories (8-page full papers, 3-page short papers, and 1-page extended abstracts) to showcase recent advances in social network analysis and mining research with direct industry relevance, to discuss emerging trends and challenges with practical implications, and to facilitate interactions between academia and industry in this vital area of study of growing interests.


All papers submitted to ASONAM 2014 Industrial Track will be peer-reviewed. Compared to the ASONAM regular track (for which paper submission is already closed), Industrial Track papers do not necessarily need to contain major methodological advances, algorithmic contributions, or rigorous experimental validation. Rather, the emphasis will be on industrial innovations, clear practical relevance, interesting lessons learned through significant practice, or new classes of applications which might open up new venues for interesting academic work.


Contributions from both industry R&D groups and the academia are welcome. Note that industry should be broadly interpreted in this call, encompassing both private and public sectors.


In many related top-rated conferences, papers presented at the industry tracks tend to draw large audience and generate interesting discussions, and many among them become well-cited work down the road. In addition to regular presentation-based industry track sessions at the conference, we will also organize an all-inclusive Industry Poster Session to encourage exchange of ideas between academic researchers, industry researchers, and practitioners. Depending on the availability of presentation slots, a portion of accepted Industry Track papers might be scheduled for poster presentation only. In addition, we will also organize an Industry System Demo Session.


Industry teams that plan to give a Poster presentation or show a Demo but do not have full or short paper submissions, are requested to contribute 1-page extended abstracts, which will be reviewed and, if accepted, will be included in the conference proceedings.
