Dear Colleagues:
Due to numerous requests, we have extended the paper submission deadline to
March 29, 2010 (11:59pm; UTC).

Those authors who have already submitted their papers (in response to the
first CFP), will receive the notification of acceptance or rejection by the
dates announced in the first CFP (5th of April).
Those authors who submit their papers in response to this announcement, will
receive the notification within the 12th of April, 2010.
Thank you.

CALL FOR PAPERS
-------------------------------------

Pervasive healthcare systems are more and more characterized by the
heterogeneity of devices and users. Such systems exploit various
technologies such as ever-smaller mobile devices, location and tracking
tools, as well as wearable, portable, and implantable medical sensors.
Designing systems for effectively taking advantage of the potential of such
a variety of devices is a challenge to providing reliable solutions to real
problems. Furthermore, pervasive systems are increasingly characterized by
the heterogeneity of their users, too. In the healthcare domain, typical
users may be either patients of every age or practitioners such as doctors,
technicians and nurses. Accordingly, pervasive systems for healthcare are
intended not anymore just for experienced and technology-prone users, but
also for users with a different domain knowledge and so with different
skills and desiderata. According to this vision, a key role of pervasive
systems in the healthcare domain is to grant access to medical anywhere /
anytime and in a reliable way, but also to simplify the way these data can
accessed, explored and edited, so to increase their acceptance from both
patients and practitioners.

The special session at KES-IIMSS 2010 aims to bring together top researchers
both from academia and industry to stimulate research and create
interdisciplinary collaboration links allowing the exploration of new
frontiers in the area of Pervasive System. In details this session provides
a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the
interrelation of medical, environmental, technical and social factors and
their consequences for the design, use and acceptance of pervasive
healthcare systems. The session aims at giving participants a broad and deep
understanding of the multitude of issues involved in the design,
implementation and evaluation of pervasive systems and services.

submission and review system available at

http://www.prosemanager1.co.uk/iimss-10/submitpaper.asp

(session name IS03)

Papers must be uploaded as a PDF document for review. If accepted, a full
set of publication files in MS Word or LaTeX must be provided.
Accepted papers must be presented at the symposium.
