Papers (in PDF format) should be submitted electronically via the Easychair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr4hcprohealth2019
Submissions are two-stage. In the first stage an abstract is required. Full papers are expected after the abstract.
Original contributions are sought, regarding the development of theory, techniques, and use cases of Artificial Intelligence and / or process management in the area of healthcare, particularly connected to patient data, clinical guidelines and healthcare processes.
Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish their research contribution and the relation to the goals of the workshop. The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to the following areas:
- Process modeling in health care
- Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines and protocols for decision support
- Workflow management in healthcare
- Semantic integration of health care processes with electronic medical records
- Knowledge representation and ontologies for health care
- Temporal knowledge representations and exploitation in health care
- Facilitating knowledge-acquisition of health care
- Visualization, monitoring, and mining health care processes
- Knowledge extraction from health care databases and medical records
- Knowledge combination, personalization, and adaptation of health care
- Adherence and compliance of health care processes
- Evaluation of quality and safety of care flow systems
- Managing flexibility and exceptions in health care
- Process optimization and simulation in health care organizations and networks
- Experiences in deploying knowledge-based tools in health care
- Patient empowerment in health care
- Decision support technologies for multimorbid and co-morbid patients
- Linking clinical care and clinical research
- Lifecycle management for health care processes
- Context-aware health care processes
- Knowledge-based modeling, simulation and synthetization of health care
- Ambient intelligence & smart processes in health care
- Process interoperability & standards in health care
- Process-oriented system architectures in health care
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Three types of submissions are possible:
(1) full papers (12 pages long) reporting mature research results,
(2) position papers (no longer than 6 pages) reporting research that may be in preliminary stage not yet been evaluated, and
(3) tool reports (no longer than 6 pages).
Papers must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in the LNCS format. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper, position paper, or tool report).
