HIS'14 CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------

The 3rd International Conference on Health Information Science
April 22-24, 2014，Shenzhen, China,
http://www.his2014.org


HIS 2014 aims to integrate computer science/information technology with health sciences & services, embracing information science research coupled with topics related to the modeling, design, development, integration, and management of health information systems.

The scope includes:

1. medical/health/biomedicine information resources, such as patient medical records, devices and equipments, software and tools to capture, store, retrieve, process, analyse, optimize the use of information in the health domain;
2. data management, data mining, and knowledge discovery (in health domain), all of which play a key role in decision making, management of public health, examination of standards, privacy and security issues; and
3. development of new architectures and applications for health information systems.

We solicit your submissions in English for:
1. unpublished research papers on any aspect of the health information sciences and systems;
2. two page abstracts for an oral or a poster session;
3. two page technique reports for a poster session;

More information about each type of submission is included below.
