MISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Health is one of the major research topics that have been attracting cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new emerging technologies for Health, with the gradual integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence techniques, is attracting the interest of many researchers. Within this framework, healthcare is becoming a ubiquitous, complex, sophisticated, efficient and autonomous ecosystem.
The workshop on AI-driven Smart Healthcare (AIdSH) aims at bringing together researchers from academia, industry, government and medical centers in order to present the state of the art and discuss the latest advances in the emerging area of the use of Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, and Soft Computing techniques, be they black boxes or explanation-based, to signals, images, and data in the fields of medicine, healthcare and wellbeing.
An important aspect related to the healthcare systems is the implementation of apt security measures. About that, one of the latest trends involves artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technologies that allow seamless management of heterogenous data while designing highly decisive attack patterns to accurately foresee hacker’s behavior. Additionally, game-theoretic approaches have also surfaced as eminent candidates for cyber defense to optimally address the complex decision-making problems
AIdSH is expected to cover the whole range of theoretical and practical aspects, technologies and systems related to the application of artificial intelligence and soft computing methodologies to issues as machine learning, deep learning, knowledge discovery, decision support, regression, forecasting, optimization and feature selection in the healthcare and wellbeing domain, as well as the application of AI-based cyber security for smart healthcare ecosystem.
In light of the current pandemic, severely affecting the whole world, papers focusing on the application of the above ideas to any issue related to COVID-19 are highly welcome.
