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.
