ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

 

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the 2nd ACM SIGHIT
International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2011). IHI 2011 is the main
conference of the newly formed ACM Special Interest Group on Health
Informatics (SIGHIT).

 

IHI 2011 is ACM's premier community forum concerned with the application of
computer science principles, information science principles, information
technology, and communication technology to address problems in healthcare,
public health, and everyday wellness. The conference highlights the most
novel technical contributions in computing-oriented health informatics and
the related social and ethical implications. IHI 2011 will feature keynotes,
a multi-track technical program including papers, demonstrations, and
panels. New additions to the IHI 2011 program include tutorials and a
doctoral consortium.

 

IHI 2011 serves as a venue for the discussion of innovative technical
contributions highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and
technologies, even if available only in prototype form (e.g., a system is
not deployed in production mode and/or evaluation may be performed by giving
examples). We strongly encourage authors to submit their original
contributions describing their algorithmic contributions, methodological
contributions, and well-founded conjectures based on an application-oriented
context. A paper does not have to be comprehensive and can focus on a single
aspect of design, development, evaluation, or deployment.

 

Contributions in the realm of social and behavioral issues might include
empirical studies of health-related information use and needs,
socio-technical studies on the implementation and use of health information
technology, studies on health informatics in the context of community impact
and implications, studies on public policies on leveraging health
informatics infrastructure, among others.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

 

The conference will accept both regular and short papers. Regular papers
(6-10 pages in length) will describe more mature ideas, where a substantial
amount of implementation, experimentation, or data collection and analysis
will be described. Short papers (1-5 pages) can be less formal and will
describe innovative ideas where a less degree of validation and
implementation have occurred. All papers will appear in the ACM Digital
Library. The best papers of IHI 2011 will also be considered for journal
publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Intelligent
Systems and Technology (TIST).

 

IHI 2011 has three tracks: analytics, systems, and human factors.

"              The analytics track focuses on data analysis.

"              The systems track focuses on building health informatics
systems (e.g., architecture, framework, design, engineering, and
application).

"              The human factors track focuses on understanding users or
context, interface design, and user studies of health informatics
applications.

 

When submitting a paper, the authors must select a track that they regard as
the most appropriate one for their paper. Before the review process starts,
the PC co-chairs will check each paper and make adjustment if necessary to
ensure the submission will be reviewed in the correct track. 

 

A subset of highly-ranked papers will have oral presentation slots. The
other accepted papers, which are not selected for oral presentation, will be
presented as posters. The conference organizers will work on ensuring that
poster sessions are well attended and have a vibrant discussion environment.

 

Submitted papers must not have appeared in, or be under consideration for,
another conference, workshop, journal, or other target of publication.

 

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following formatting
instructions:

 

"              Papers must adhere to the ACM Proceedings Format available
for LaTex, WordPerfect, WordPerfect 9, and Word. Changing the template's
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 length of submission depends on the type of submission:

- Regular papers must be 6-10 pages long.

- Short papers may be at most 5 pages long.

 

"              Each paper must provide an appendix (which is excluded from
the page limit) indicating the preferred review approach, including:

- The track (analytics, systems, or human factors) 

- The preferred allocation of reviewing expertise. This can be done by
electing the primary and secondary focus of the paper (e.g., Computing,
Information Science, Medicine, Nursing, and Social/Behavioral Science).

- A bulleted list with up to 3 topics covered in the paper (from the list of
conference topics presented above)

 

REVIEWING

 

Each contribution will be carefully evaluated by a group of reviewers,
including experts with multidisciplinary experience spanning computing,
information science, social and behavioral sciences, public health,
medicine, and nursing as appropriate, to ensure that proper and
comprehensive peer-review analysis and feedback can be provided to authors.
Submissions will be judged on validity, originality, technical strength,
practical and clinical significance, quality of presentation, and relevance
to the conference topics.

 

Because of IHI's multidisciplinary nature, the review process will include
at least a computing expert and a health expert as well as a review editor
to reconcile the evaluation, making a single recommendation to the Program
Committee Co-Chairs. This process is designed to ensure that experts from
multiple areas can assess the importance and validity of the work.

CALL FOR DEMOS

2nd ACM SIGHIT International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2011)

November 9-11, 2011

Miami, Florida, USA

http://sites.google.com/site/web2011ihi/

(mirror site: http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/ihi2011/)

 

SCOPE OF THE DEMO TRACK

 

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the demo track of the
2011 ACM SIGHIT International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2011).

 

The IHI demo track is an exciting and highly interactive way to demonstrate
your health informatics system or application. Because of IHI's focus on
end-to-end systems, whereby applied informatics is used to address the needs
of health and healthcare applications, demos of innovative systems are
solicited, which illustrate practical research or engineering contributions
in an interesting and interactive manner.

 

The demo program will be featured prominently in the conference program and
should be seen as a vehicle for researchers, practitioners, and
commercial/industrial/non-profit institutions to showcase innovative new
technologies or applications in health informatics.

 

The demo review process will look for practical uses of technology and also
for a "wow" factor in all submissions. We encourage the description of
prototypes as long as they clearly present a coherent, end-to-end view of
what the application might become once it gets deployed in production.

 

A submission proposal includes a demo paper and can optionally include a
demo video, whose URL should be referred to in the textual demo description
for reviewers to take into consideration when analyzing the submission. Note
that the demo paper should differ from regular papers in several important
aspects. First, it should clearly describe the overall architecture of the
system or technology demonstrated. Second, the paper should put great
emphasis on the motivation of the work, on the applications of the presented
system or technology, and on the novelty of the work. Third, the proposal
should clearly describe the demo scenario. In particular, it should describe
how the demo audience can interact with the demo system, to better
understand the underlying technology. For demos running over the web, a
back-up scenario should be described, in case connectivity is limited at the
demo venue.

 

All topics described in the Call for Papers are eligible for demo track
submissions.

 

WHAT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED

 

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:

 

"              The author(s) name and affiliation(s) must be present in the
submitted document. Any submitted demo proposal violating the length, file
type, or formatting requirements will be rejected without review.

"              Papers must adhere to the ACM Proceedings Format available
for LaTex, WordPerfect, WordPerfect 9, and Word. Changing the template's
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 length of submission is 4 pages. This page limit includes
all parts of the proposal: title, abstract, body, and bibliography.

"              Each paper must provide an appendix (which is excluded from
the page limit) indicating the preferred review approach, including:

- The preferred allocation of reviewing expertise. This can be done by
electing the primary and secondary focus of the paper (e.g., Computing,
Information Science, Medicine, Nursing, and Social/Behavioral Science).

- A bulleted list with up to 3 topics covered in the paper (from the list of
conference topics)

 

The optional demo video should focus on illustrating the demo scenario and
the interactive nature of the demo system. The video must be no more than
three minutes in length and should start by clearly identifying the authors
and title of the proposal. The video should be in common video format (e.g.,
MPEG, AVI), and should be playable on a wide variety of media players. We
strongly encourage authors to produce and submit a demo video that will be
linked off of the final program on the conference website (e.g., YouTube,
Vimeo).

 

The notification for acceptance of demo papers is the same as that for
regular papers. Accepted demo proposals will appear in the final proceedings
and in ACM digital library. Note that all deadlines are the same as for
regular paper submissions.

 

IMPORTANT DATES

 

Demo paper submission deadline: May 30, 2011 11:59pm EST

Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2011 11:59pm EST

Tutorials at IHI 2011 will be presented by domain experts to cover current
topics directly relevant to the conference theme of computing-oriented
health informatics (a list of IHI areas/topics can be found in the Call for
Papers). Proposed tutorials should be comprehensive, informative, and
appealing to IHI 2011 attendees.

 

Each tutorial will be 120-minutes long. Tutorial instructors must make a
commitment to prepare the tutorial materials (e.g., slides) that reflect the
high quality standard of IHI.

 

Tutorials will be free to all IHI 2011 attendees, and tutorial instructors
will receive free registration but not any financial aid from the
conference.

 

All tutorials will be featured prominently in the conference program.

 

SUBMISSION PROCESS

 

Each tutorial proposal should have two parts:

"              Part 1: A 1-page extended abstract that includes: the title
of the tutorial, the name and affiliation of the instructor(s), a
