ICTS4eHealth 2019 - 4th edition of the IEEE International Workshop on ICT
Solutions for e-Health
Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza, Barcelona, Spain
June 29 -July 3, 2019 - www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it
in conjunction with the Twenty-Fourth IEEE Symposium on Computers and
Communications (ISCC)
===========================================================================
MISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting
cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging ICT
technologies for Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of
Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence, is attracting the interest of
many researchers.
The use of Cloud computing, IoT technologies, and methods typical of Soft
Computing and Computational Intelligence have been very prominent recently
and can be of great help in finding good solutions to many practical
healthcare applications.
For instance, health monitoring, health data storage, health data
collection, mobile health, pervasive health, healthcare monitoring,
telemedicine, context-aware computing, ubiquitous computing, processing
health data in the cloud, securing health data in the cloud and Assistive
Technology (AT) are areas of interest that are being addressed using cloud
computing and IoT techniques. On the other hand, several challenging issues
have raised due to the adoption of such emerging technologies. These
include the quality of health data, the ability to retrieve information and
use it in health context, as for example in tasks related to machine
learning, knowledge discovery, decision support, regression, forecasting,
optimization, feature selection, and additionally privacy and security
issues of health data while being processed in the cloud, availability of
health data, models of context and tele-monitoring of contextual
applications.
ICTS4eHealth 2019 is the fourth edition of the International IEEE Workshop
dedicated to ICT solutions for e-Health, especially based on Cloud
computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence.
The workshop will bring together researchers from academia, industry,
government, and medical centers in order to present the state of the art in
the emerging area of the use of cloud systems in connected health
infrastructure and applications, and the use of IoT and Computational
Intelligence technique in the area of eHealth.

March 28, 2019 - submission deadline
April 15, 2019 - results online
This contest is devoted to image matching using local image descriptors.
In order to test descriptor effectiveness for real-world scenarios, we
have built an image pair dataset including non-trivial transformations
induced by relevant viewpoint changes with respect to either planar or
non-planar scenes. The evaluation metrics will be based on the exact
overlap error for the planar case, and on a patch-wise approximation
to it for the non-planar case.
Participants will be able to download the local image patches from which
to extract descriptors. The matched descriptor pairs, formatted according
to the submission instructions, will be sent for evaluation to the official
e-mail of the contest. Results will be published online within two weeks
after the deadline. The most interesting descriptors will be selected for
possible publication in the forthcoming Special Issue "Local Image
Descriptors
in Computer Vision" of the international journal IET COMPUTER VISION.

The CAIP2019 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops and
tutorials in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on
Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns. The workshops and tutorials
will be held as side events of the main conference.
*Proposals for Workshop*
The CAIP2019 workshops will provide forums where participants will have
opportunities to discuss technical topics and actively share ideas. The
topics of the workshops should be at the frontiers of academic research
or important applications in the domain of computer vision and pattern
recognition. Each proposal will be assessed for its scientific content,
structure and relevance. Cogently, good proposals would encourage
discussion and interaction between the participants, achievable in a
several ways, e.g., through presentations of submitted work, panel
discussions and hands-on sessions.
