EHST considers e-Health services and their related technologies, with a 
particular stress on the modeling of complex e-Health IT-driven 
service-provisioning systems. Some fundamental modeling challenges related 
to e-Health services are to be addressed. In approaching such services 
though, we are mainly concerned with Tele-Monitoring and Tele-Treatment, as 
two essential directions of supporting healthcare through advanced ICT. 

In 2014, EHST will be held in Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, 
following previous events in The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Bulgaria.

and topics: 
1. MONITORING FACILITIES

also be included in the SciTePress Digital Library 
(http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary). 
====================================================== 

Venue 

The EHST sessions will be held at the Chambre des Metiers that is not only 
in very close proximity to both the University of Luxembourg and the CRP 
Henri Tudor but is also conveniently reachable by bus (for around 20 
minutes) from both the city center and the airport. Luxembourg is the 
capital of the Grand Duchy, one of the founder states of the European 
Union, where about 43 per cent of the half million inhabitants are foreign. 
This multicultural ambience of day-to-day contact with people from the four 
corners of the Earth gives the small state an astonishingly cosmopolitan 
outlook - not least thanks to the European institutions and the financial 
centre. It is however far easier to get around the capital (100 000 
inhabitants) than it is in Berlin or Paris. The distances are short. There 
is a lively nightlife scene around the fashionable bars of Hollerich, 
Grund, and Clausen. Furthermore, there are plenty of sports, leisure 
activities as well as events: 

cinemas and climbing parks, mountain bike trails and an enormous cultural 
range - from Jazz in the medieval city, contemporary art at MUDAM, theatre 
in every language or classical music in one of the most beautiful new 
buildings in Luxembourg, the Philharmonie. All this set against the 
romantic backdrop of the medieval city (a UNESCO world heritage site since 
1994), rhe castle in the richy-forested north and the vineyards along the 
Mosel.
