	    	                CALL FOR PAPERS

================================================
   The Second Workshop in e-Healthcare Information Security 
                          (e-HISec 2010)
	   http://www.comp.dit.ie/e-hisec2010
================================================

 
In conjuction with The International Conference on Information   
                               Society (I-Society 2010)
                               June 28-30, 2010,
                                   London, UK
                              http://www.i-society.eu/
================================================
This workshop will bring together researchers and industry participants 
who are involved either in the design, development, and implementation 
of novel secure e-Healthcare  Information Systems or in the research 
that addresses the key questions in the enhancement of privacy and 
securing of e-Healthcare information. We expect the works  to be 
presented in this workshop to address security and privacy problems and 
solutions that can be used 
in distributed and heterogeneous computer systems as well as in mobile 
devices, which will characterise the emerging e-Healthcare environment.

In the recent years substantial budgets have been and are being 
committed towards e-Healthcare. For example, as part of the stimulus 
package the Obama administration is going to 
spend 19 Billion dollars in Healthcare. A significant part of this 
budget will be spent on making sure that all Americans have 
e-Healthcare records by 2014. The move towards e-Health-
care is envisaged to reduce the cost of provision of healthcare, 
improve quality of care and reduce medical errors. Despite all these 
advantages the security concerns are real and going
to increase as the rate we digitise information and use the web. Major 
security issues include patient privacy, trust, and quality-assurance. 
Security concerns are affecting the adoption 
rate and usage of these e-Healthcare systems. Unless deliberate efforts 
are taken to secure these systems from design to implementation most of 
the development achieved to date may not
be realised and rolled out to the real world.

The security and privacy issues in e-Healthcare Information Systems 
that are covered in this workshop are also becoming important now in 
digital information management in general. These issues will also have 
significant effect in other emerging application areas such as cloud 
computing.

We welcome original, high-quality research contributions that advance 
the state-of-the-art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation 
and understanding of secure e-Healthcare 
Information Systems.


TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO: 
==============================================

* Security in e-Healthcare Information Systems
* Privacy concerns in e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Trust concerns in e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Design principles of secure context-aware e-Healthcare Information 
Systems.
* How security addresses the legal and ethical issues in emerging 
e-Healthcare Information 
  Systems?
* Frameworks for evaluation of e-Healthcare Systems
* Security and privacy standards for e-Healthcare Information Systems
* Tools and techniques for designing, developing, implementing, and 
evaluating e-Healthcare 
  Information Systems.
* Challenges in building secure e-Healthcare Information Systems.
* Impact and incorporation of legal aspects in security and privacy of 
e-Healthcare Information 
  systems


IMPORTANT DATES
===================

Paper submission deadline: March 10, 2010
Notification of Paper acceptance: March 15, 2010
Camera-ready paper submission: March 31, 2010

SUBMISSION DETAILS
==========================

We encourage submissions from researchers and practitioners from 
academia and industry. All 
are invited to submit papers limited to 6 pages in the format provided 
at the conference web 
page http://www.i-society.eu/Paper_Submission.html, describing original 
work or a position paper. 
Participants will be selected based on their submissions; a selection 
of papers will be presented
at the workshop. Proceedings of all I-Society 2010 workshops are to be 
published and will be 
distributed at the I-Society 2010 conference in London.

Paper must be submitted electronically to Fredrick.Mtenzi at dit.ie. All 
papers will be fully refereed 
by at least two referees and before final acceptance all referees 
comments must be considered. The 
required formats of the paper are available on the conference website, 
http://www.i-society.eu/

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work at 
the workshop. All attendees 
must register for the I-Society 2010 conference.
