Dear colleagues, this is a kind reminder that the submission deadline for the IEEE ICTS4eHealth Conference has been extended to July 1, 2021. Please note that this new deadline is firm and final. We also remind you that the Best Conference Paper Award is sponsored by MDPI Computers Journal with a prize money amounting to 300 CHF. Additionally, authors of papers presented at this conference may submit a technically extended version to two Special Issues, one on Sensors Journal (IF 2019: 3.275) and another one on Computers Journal (indexed in ESCI-Web of Science and Scopus). Please find below the Call For papers. We do hope it can be of interest to you. Yours sincerely the IEEE ICTS4eHealth Conference Chairs [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ======================================================= IEEE International Conference on ICT Solutions for e-Health ICTS4eHealth 2021 Athens, Greece, September 5-8, 2021 www.icts4ehealth.icar.cnr.it in conjunction with the Twenty-Sixth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications ======================================================= 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. Following five successful workshop editions, ICTS4eHealth 2021 is the International IEEE Conference dedicated to ICT solutions for e-Health, especially based on Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational Intelligence. The conference 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 techniques in the area of eHealth.

Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings from: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht… Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. In IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2021, as well as in IEEE ISCC 2021, all submissions must be done through EDAS by using the link https://edas.info/N28521. Accepted papers will be included in the IEEE ISCC 2021 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas. SPECIAL ISSUES: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors of papers presented at this conference may submit a technically extended version to Special Issues with reduced or no fees: - MDPI Sensors Journal (Impact Factor 2019: 3.275, Journal Rank: JCR - Q1 (Instruments & Instrumentation) / CiteScore - Q1 (Instrumentation)) Special Issue on “The power of edge computing and IoT to support healthcare” - MDPI Computers Journal (Journal Rank: JCR - Q2 (Computer Networks and Communications) Special Issue on “Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning approaches for eHealth” Other Special Issues will be announced. BEST PAPER AWARD: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee. The Best Conference Paper Award is sponsored by MDPI Computers Journal. The authors of this paper will be entitled a prize money amounting to 300 CHF.
