          conjunction with the Twenty-Third IEEE Symposium on Computers
          and Communications 

        

        

        

        

        
MISSION: 

        

        
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        
e-Health
          is one of the major research topics that have been attracting
          cross-disciplinary research groups. The deployment of new
          emerging ICT technologies for Health, especially based on
          Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational
          Intelligence, is attracting the interest of many researchers.

        

        

        
The
          use of Cloud computing, IoT technologies, and methods typical
          of Soft Computing and Computational Intelligence have been
          very prominent recently and can be of great help in finding
          good solutions to many practical healthcare applications.

        

        

        
For
          instance, health monitoring, health data storage, health data
          collection, mobile health, pervasive health, healthcare
          monitoring, telemedicine, context-aware computing, ubiquitous
          computing, processing health data in the cloud, securing
          health data in the cloud and Assistive Technology (AT) are
          areas of interest that are being addressed using cloud
          computing and IoT techniques. On the other hand, several
          challenging issues have raised due to the adoption of such
          emerging technologies. These include the quality of health
          data, the ability to retrieve information and use it in health
          context, as for example in tasks related to machine learning,
          knowledge discovery, decision support, regression,
          forecasting, optimization, feature selection, and additionally
          privacy and security issues of health data while being
          processed in the cloud, availability of health data, models of
          context and tele-monitoring of contextual applications.

        

        

        
ICTS4eHealth
          2018 is the third edition of the International IEEE Workshop
          dedicated to ICT solutions for e-Health, especially based on
          Cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and Computational
          Intelligence.

          workshop will bring together researchers from academia,
          industry, government, and medical centers in order to present
          the state of the art in the emerging area of the use of cloud
          systems in connected health infrastructure and applications,
          and the use of IoT and Computational Intelligence technique in
