Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Model-Based Trustworthy Health Information Systems (MOTHIS) in conjunction with the 10th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2007) Nashville, Tennessee September 30, 2007 OVERVIEW While many information-intensive industries have developed and deployed standards-based information infrastructures, healthcare has been characterized as a 'trillion dollar cottage industry' that, in its current state, is heavily dependent on paper records and fragmented, error-prone approaches to service delivery. In response, Health Information Systems (HIS) are emerging as a new and significant application domain for information technologies to capture and promote interactions between patients and healthcare providers. However, the ingratiation of information systems into the complex world of healthcare generates unique technology challenges. A primary concern is that privacy and security requirements for HIS are frequently expressed in vague, as well as contradictory, complex laws and regulations. To address this problem, model-based methods offer a revolutionary way to formally and explicitly integrate privacy and security goals into HIS architectures. End-to-end architecture modeling, integrated with formal privacy and security models, offer new opportunities for HIS system designers and end users. This workshop intends to bring computer scientists, medical experts, and legal policy experts together to discuss research results in the development and application of model-based methods for representing, analyzing and integrating, architectures, privacy and security policies, computer security mechanisms, web authentication, and human factors engineering. This workshop will help the various communities understand the unique challenges in this field and will offer HIS developers' insight into the state of the art in model-based design technologies. INTENDED AUDIENCE The workshop is designed for:
o Researchers in model-based design interested in applying
model-based methods in
security, privacy.
o Researchers and practitioners working in health information systems.
o Researchers and systems developers interested in the model-based
design of
enterprise information systems based on Service-Oriented Architectures TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE Electronic medical record (EMR) systems - Health information integration models and technologies - HIS Model-based platform design - HIS Model-based generators - HIS Modeling languages - HIS Modeling tools and toolkits - HIS Model verification tools - Complex healthcare organization modeling - Privacy modeling and integration in biomedical systems - Service oriented architectures for HIS - Security architectures and formal models for HIS - Systems that integrate HIS with EMRs and business processes IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: July 24
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION INFORMATION Papers need to be submitted electronically at the submission site in pdf format. Manuscripts should be formatted in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style. Manuscripts are to be no more than 15 pages in length, including all figures, references, and appendices. Accepted papers will be available through the conference website and the two best contributions of the workshop, in addition to a workshop report, will be published in a "Workshop and Symposia" proceedings by Springer in the LNCS series after the conclusion of the conference. Furthermore, selected papers will be published in the prestigious Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM) journal.
