HealthSec ‘10–the 1st USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy–has issued a call for papers, with submissions due April 9, 2010.
According to the HealthSec call for papers:
There is an increasing trend toward moving medical information to digital systems. This trend has materialized in the form of medical information sharing–both within internal and federated medical systems and in cloud systems such as Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault. This trend has also materialized in the form of advanced medical care, ranging from next-generation medical devices in the home and in the operating room to remote robotic medical devices on the battlefield. The focus of this workshop will be on protecting the security and privacy of these next-generation medical and healthcare systems.
HealthSec is intended as a forum for lively discussion of aggressively innovative and potentially disruptive ideas on all aspects of medical and health security and privacy. A fundamental goal of the workshop is to promote cross-disciplinary interactions between fields, including, but not limited to, technology, medicine, and policy.
HealthSec 2010 will be co-located with the USENIX Security ‘10 Symposium, August 11-13, 2010 in Washington D.C.
