ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the 2nd ACM
SIGHIT International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2011). IHI 2011
is the main conference of the newly formed ACM Special Interest Group
on Health Informatics (SIGHIT).

IHI 2011 is ACM's premier community forum concerned with the
application of computer science principles, information science
principles, information technology, and communication technology to
address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday
wellness. The conference highlights the most novel technical
contributions in computing-oriented health informatics and the related
social and ethical implications. IHI 2011 will feature keynotes, a
multi-track technical program including papers, demonstrations, and
panels. New additions to the IHI 2011 program include tutorials and a
doctoral consortium.

IHI 2011 serves as a venue for the discussion of innovative technical
contributions highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and
technologies, even if available only in prototype form (e.g., a system
is not deployed in production mode and/or evaluation may be performed
by giving examples). We strongly encourage authors to submit their
original contributions describing their algorithmic contributions,
methodological contributions, and well-founded conjectures based on an
application-oriented context. A paper does not have to be
comprehensive and can focus on a single aspect of design, development,
evaluation, or deployment.

Contributions in the realm of social and behavioral issues might
include empirical studies of health-related information use and needs,
socio-technical studies on the implementation and use of health
information technology, studies on health informatics in the context
of community impact and implications, studies on public policies on
leveraging health informatics infrastructure, among others.

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

The conference will accept both regular and short papers. Regular
papers (6-10 pages in length) will describe more mature ideas, where a
substantial amount of implementation, experimentation, or data
collection and analysis will be described. Short papers (1-5 pages)
can be less formal and will describe innovative ideas where a less
degree of validation and implementation have occurred. All papers will
appear in the ACM Digital Library. The best papers of IHI 2011 will
also be considered for journal publication in a special issue of the
ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (TIST).

IHI 2011 has three tracks: analytics, systems, and human factors.
- The analytics track focuses on data analysis.
- The systems track focuses on building health informatics systems
  (e.g., architecture, framework, design, engineering, and
  application).
- The human factors track focuses on understanding users or context,
  interface design, and user studies of health informatics
  applications.

When submitting a paper, the authors must select a track that they
regard as the most appropriate one for their paper. Before the review
process starts, the PC co-chairs will check each paper and make
adjustment if necessary to ensure the submission will be reviewed in
the correct track.

A subset of highly-ranked papers will have oral presentation
slots. The other accepted papers, which are not selected for oral
presentation, will be presented as posters. The conference organizers
will work on ensuring that poster sessions are well attended and have
a vibrant discussion environment.

Submitted papers must not have appeared in, or be under consideration
for, another conference, workshop, journal, or other target of
publication.

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following formatting
instructions:

- Papers must adhere to the ACM Proceedings Format available for
  LaTex, WordPerfect, WordPerfect 9, and Word. Changing the template's
  font size, margins, inter-column spacing, or line spacing is
  prohibited. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file,
  formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper.

- The length of submission depends on the type of submission:
  - Regular papers must be 6-10 pages long.
  - Short papers may be at most 5 pages long.

- Each paper must provide an appendix (which is excluded from the page
  limit) indicating the preferred review approach, including:

  - The track (analytics, systems, or human factors) 
  - The preferred allocation of reviewing expertise. This can be done
    by electing the primary and secondary focus of the paper (e.g.,
    Computing, Information Science, Medicine, Nursing, and
    Social/Behavioral Science).
  - A bulleted list with up to 3 topics covered in the paper (from the
    list of conference topics presented above)

REVIEWING

Each contribution will be carefully evaluated by a group of reviewers,
including experts with multidisciplinary experience spanning
computing, information science, social and behavioral sciences, public
health, medicine, and nursing as appropriate, to ensure that proper
and comprehensive peer-review analysis and feedback can be provided to
authors. Submissions will be judged on validity, originality,
technical strength, practical and clinical significance, quality of
presentation, and relevance to the conference topics.

Because of IHI's multidisciplinary nature, the review process will
include at least a computing expert and a health expert as well as a

CALL FOR DEMOS
2nd ACM SIGHIT International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI 2011)
November 9-11, 2011
Miami, Florida, USA
http://sites.google.com/site/web2011ihi/
(mirror site: http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/ihi2011/)

SCOPE OF THE DEMO TRACK

We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the demo track
of the 2011 ACM SIGHIT International Health Informatics Symposium (IHI
2011).

The IHI demo track is an exciting and highly interactive way to
demonstrate your health informatics system or application. Because of
IHI's focus on end-to-end systems, whereby applied informatics is used
to address the needs of health and healthcare applications, demos of
innovative systems are solicited, which illustrate practical research
or engineering contributions in an interesting and interactive manner.

The demo program will be featured prominently in the conference
program and should be seen as a vehicle for researchers,
practitioners, and commercial/industrial/non-profit institutions to
showcase innovative new technologies or applications in health
informatics.

The demo review process will look for practical uses of technology and
also for a "wow" factor in all submissions. We encourage the
description of prototypes as long as they clearly present a coherent,
end-to-end view of what the application might become once it gets
deployed in production.

A submission proposal includes a demo paper and can optionally include
a demo video, whose URL should be referred to in the textual demo
description for reviewers to take into consideration when analyzing
the submission. Note that the demo paper should differ from regular
papers in several important aspects. First, it should clearly describe
the overall architecture of the system or technology
demonstrated. Second, the paper should put great emphasis on the
motivation of the work, on the applications of the presented system or
technology, and on the novelty of the work. Third, the proposal should
clearly describe the demo scenario. In particular, it should describe
how the demo audience can interact with the demo system, to better
understand the underlying technology. For demos running over the web,
a back-up scenario should be described, in case connectivity is
limited at the demo venue.

All topics described in the Call for Papers are eligible for demo
track submissions.

WHAT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED

All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:

- The author(s) name and affiliation(s) must be present in the
  submitted document. Any submitted demo proposal violating the
  length, file type, or formatting requirements will be rejected
  without review.

- Papers must adhere to the ACM Proceedings Format available for
  LaTex, WordPerfect, WordPerfect 9, and Word. Changing the template's
  font size, margins, inter-column spacing, or line spacing is
  prohibited. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file,
  formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper.

- The length of submission is 4 pages. This page limit includes all
  parts of the proposal: title, abstract, body, and bibliography.

- Each paper must provide an appendix (which is excluded from the page
  limit) indicating the preferred review approach, including:

  - The preferred allocation of reviewing expertise. This can be done
    by electing the primary and secondary focus of the paper (e.g.,
    Computing, Information Science, Medicine, Nursing, and
    Social/Behavioral Science).
  - A bulleted list with up to 3 topics covered in the paper (from the
    list of conference topics)

The optional demo video should focus on illustrating the demo scenario
and the interactive nature of the demo system. The video must be no
more than three minutes in length and should start by clearly
identifying the authors and title of the proposal. The video should be
in common video format (e.g., MPEG, AVI), and should be playable on a
wide variety of media players. We strongly encourage authors to
produce and submit a demo video that will be linked off of the final
program on the conference website (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo).

The notification for acceptance of demo papers is the same as that for
regular papers. Accepted demo proposals will appear in the final
proceedings and in ACM digital library. Note that all deadlines are
the same as for regular paper submissions.

IMPORTANT DATES

Demo paper submission deadline: May 30, 2011 11:59pm EST
Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2011 11:59pm EST
