Medical Device Interoperability, Safety, and Security Assurance
WORKSHOP DATE CHANGED TO SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2019
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
WORKSHOP PROGRAM AVAILABLE
Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) encompass a new generation of smart medical systems that integrate human, cyber, and physical elements in closed-loop control. They aim to improve patient care by enabling the delivery of advanced therapies and complex surgeries. An example is the artificial pancreas that allows people with diabetes to better manage their condition. Designing safe and effective Medical CPS involves the work of a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, medical domain experts, and human factors specialists. This work needs to be supported by rigorous development processes and tools, as substantial evidence needs to be documented and integrated to justify design choices and ease the review process mandated by regulation.
The objectives of Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS) in the Internet of Medical Things workshop 2019 are to provide opportunities for researchers, industrial practitioners, caregivers, and government agencies to demonstrate innovative development methods and tools, present experience reports, discuss open challenges, and explore ideas for future development of Medical CPS as it relates to the Internet of Medical Things. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of system development, including specification, design, analysis, implementation, documentation, and certification of Medical CPS. Demonstrations of existing tools for design and analysis of Medical CPS are also encouraged.
The 10th MCPS workshop will be an one-day event co-located with The 4th IEEE/ACM Conference on Connected Health: Applications, Systems and Engineering Technologies (CHASE 2019). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
July 18th, 2019 |
Papers (4-6 pages) and abstracts (2 pages) due | |
August 31st, 2019 |
Extended abstracts (2 pages) due | |
July 21st, 2019 | Author notification | |
July 31st, 2019 | Papers and abstracts camera ready due (hard deadline) |
STILL ACCEPTING EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
Authors are invited to extended abstracts (2 pages, excluding references) which will be reviewed on a rolling basis until August 31st, 2019.
Authors are invited to submit papers (4-6 pages) by July 7th, 2019 July 14th, 2019 July 18th, 2019 at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mcps2019. The papers must be in IEEE 2 column format: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Authors are also encouraged to submit demos and posters for their papers or abstracts. Please indicate in your submission if you wish to present a demo and/or poster.
Papers submissions (4-6 pages) must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this workshop. Extended abstracts (2 pages) need not be original and could describe previously published work or work under consideration that the authors would like to share with the participants at this venue in order to reach a wider audience.
Note: If submitting an extended abstract about work submitted to the CHASE 2019 conference, please make sure to describe the work in the context of the theme and goals of this workshop. Also, if accepted, you will be expected to have a presentation that is different from your CHASE presentation.
Accepted papers (only 4-6 page papers) will be published in the conference proceedings indexed by IEEE. While extended abstracts will not be published, authors of extended abstracts are encouraged to submit them to the lightning talks session for the main CHASE conference where they can share their work with the larger community beyond those at the workshop: https://conferences.computer.org/chase2019/lightningtalks.html. Lightning talk submissions are due September 1st.
