The First Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing in Healthcare (WMCCH)
A mobile cloud computing for healthcare (MCCH) system is a specific type of
mobile cloud computing system that focuses on healthcare and wellness
applications. Examples of MCCH include body sensor networks for long term
healthcare monitoring, sensor-based elder care systems, smartphone apps for
Alzheimers. In these examples, cloud computing, mobile computing and
wireless networking are combined to build successful solutions. The
objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists,
researchers, and practitioners working in the areas of MCCH to share and
exchange ideas, experiences, and lessons learnt.
The workshop will be held in Philadelphia, PA, in conjunction with IEEE
International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI) 2013. Please
refer to the main conference website (
http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/ICHI2013/) for more information.

Call for papers
Pervasive high speed wireless networks, powerful mobile devices, and
scalable cloud computing resources has led to the rise of a new area
typically known as mobile cloud computing (MCC). In a MCC ecosystem, all
three technologies are seamlessly combined together, giving rise to new
applications. A mobile cloud computing for healthcare (MCCH) system is a
specific MCC system that focuses on healthcare and wellness applications.
Healthcare informatics require systems with stringent requirements
(security, reliability, fault tolerant, QoS, etc.). The objective of this
workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, researchers, and
practitioners working in the areas of MCC in healthcare to share and
exchange ideas, experiences, and lessons learnt.
Note that submissions do not need to incorporate all three areas (mobile,
cloud, wireless), but must be related to healthcare.
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
* MCCH prototype systems
* Programming models for MCCH applications
* Security and privacy for regulatory compliance and/or novel threats
to MCCH applications
* Algorithmic foundations for MCCH applications
* Algorithms and techniques to provide and validate Quality of service
(QoS) for MCCH applications
* Fault tolerant, resilient systems, algorithm, and protocol design for
MCCH applications
* Coexistence of heterogeneous systems (e.g. wireless standards,
hardware, etc) in MCCH systems
* Real world MCCH application deployment experiences and lessons
* Data management, cleaning, and mining of MCCH generated data streams
* Health information technology (HIT) and MCCH
Submission instructions
Papers must adhere to the IEEE Proceedings Format available for LaTex and
Word. Changing the templates font size, margins, inter-column spacing, or
line spacing is prohibited. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF
file, formatted for 8.5 x 11 paper. The page limit is no more than 6
pages.
