We are delighted to invite you to InMed-16, featuring a Workshop on Smart Medical and Healthcare Systems. This conference will gather a multi-disciplinary group consisting of researchers and engineers, managers, students and practitioners from the medical arena, to discuss the ways that innovation, knowledge exchange and enterprise can be applied to issues relating to medicine, surgery, healthcare and the issues of an ageing population.

The conference will be co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures umbrella with our other Intelligent Systems conferences: AMSTA, IIMSS, IDT and SEEL. Registration gives access to all of these conferences, together with a paper published in one set of proceedings. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus
and Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science.
