Workshops
Following the success of workshops at the past IEEE International Conference of Healthcare Informatics (ICHI), we cordially invite you to submit your workshop proposal to ICHI 2024 to be organized in Orlando, Florida, United States of America.
Workshops are an integral part of ICHI 2024 and will be held on the day prior to the start of the main program (June 3rd, 2024). Workshops at ICHI 2024 may be planned for a full or half day, and should address topics relevant to healthcare informatics.
The ideal ICHI 2024 workshop proposal will focus on a timely and emerging topic and attract many interesting and high-quality contributions that spark discussions in an informal setting. The organizers can determine the workshop format, which may include paper presentations, poster sessions, invited talks, panels, or any other activity that will foster interaction and discussion. The approved workshop organizers will be responsible for inviting and reviewing submissions, planning the workshop program, and organizing the workshop.
Submission
Each workshop proposal should include the following information:
- Organizers: Names, affiliations, and email addresses; contact person; organizers’ background, prior experience of organizing similar workshops.
- Topic: Abstract, theme, rationale for the workshop, issues to be addressed, goals of the workshop, relevance to ICHI, previous workshops that this workshop is building on (if applicable).
- Audience: Target audience, communities that the workshop addresses, anticipated number of attendees.
- Publicity: Measures foreseen to announce the workshop and attract a sufficient number of participants; envisaged follow-up activities after the workshop (if applicable).
- Workshop Structure: Workshop length (half-day/3 hours or one-day/6 hours), tentative workshop program, activities foreseen to foster interaction and communication.
- Reviewing: Planned reviewing process, program committee (if applicable).
- Call for Papers: Tentative call for papers with workshop deadlines.
If the workshop has been held before, please clearly describe any changes you propose, if any, and also include its history (i.e., the number of submissions, the number of accepted papers, and the number of attendees).
No specific format is required, but the overall length of the proposal should not exceed 4 pages.
Workshop proposals should be submitted by email to the workshop chair:
- Pierangelo Veltri, PhD, University of Calabria, Italy (pierangelo.veltri@dimes.unical.it)
- Lisiane Pruinelli, PhD, University of Florida, USA (lisianepruinelli@ufl.edu)
Reviewing
Reviewing will be done by the Workshop Chairs and independent reviewers as needed. Workshops will be accepted based on the timeliness of the topic, relevance to ICHI, potential to attract a sufficient number of participants, and potential of the workshop to spark discussions and achieve impact in the research community.
Publication
All IEEE ICHI 2024 workshop papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be made available via IEEE Xplore. It is also envisaged that successful workshops may form the basis for special issues of the Journal of Health Informatics Research.
We shall offer 1 complimentary registration for the workshop organizer/chair.
