Call for Participation
SCOPE
The field of medical emergencies is more dynamic and subject
to context variability compared to other e-health fields.
The emergency management domain is very information-intensive
and mission-critical, and the involved tasks exhibit wide heterogeneity,
difficulties in communicating and in physically reaching the place.
The efficiency of the assistance is an aspect of vital importance,
so that all involved people (healthcare workers, drivers, police,
firemen, and so on) need to communicate, coordinate
and access distributed resources in a simple and fast way.
The employed resources (users and medical devices) must dynamically
organize themselves in a temporary net, where communication links
are established just in time.
Therefore, the major requirements of such support systems are
dynamicity and context-awareness, ie they have to easily
self-configure and adapt to the situation variability.
The above described context demands the adoption
of very innovative and powerful paradigms,
much more dynamic and flexible than those usually
adopted for conventional distributed systems.
The workshop will focus on mobile and distributed approaches
to face the issues of emergency scenarios, and to support
involved actors in their tasks.
