Track Description

Advance in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as well as electronics and informatics tools opened up new opportunities in healthcare systems and hospital management.

The aim of the track is to provide researchers, practitioners and workers in medical fields with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in the field of healthcare modelling, simulation and management, taking into account the modern ICT innovations.

Expected topical areas include but are not limited to:

· Modelling, simulation and management of hospital departments

· Modelling, simulation and management of hospital drug logistics

· Modelling and simulation in patient care

· Modelling and simulation in bio-systems

· Modelling and simulation of emergency procedures

· Disease and emergency modelling and management

 

Nevertheless, different topics concerning modelling and simulation of healthcare systems and hospital management are welcome. Authors are invited to include in their papers and presentations case studies, applications as well as open and challenging problems.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

 

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by May 20, 2008.

 

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.
