All accepted and presented papers will be published in a Topical Collection of the Journal of Medical Systems, Springer, I.F. 3.058.

For publication, it is required that authors carefully revise their manuscripts according to both the reviewers’ comments received while submitting to the workshop, and the comments received from the audience during the workshop.

Please note that for Original Research Papers text is limited to 3000 words and that you are not and Please do not use two-column formatting

Review process

All papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers, in a double-blind process. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity, and quality of presentation.

A typical scale of [-2, 2] will be used to score the papers, and only those with a positive average classification will be considered for presentation. Furthermore, papers with at least one negative score will be further screened:

  • if the negative review is too low, the paper will be rejected
  • in case of a mild negative review, the paper will receive an additional fast-track review to determine if it can be considered for presentation
