CFP IEEE ICTS4eHealth - Extended deadline, Virtual Presentation and Special Issue announcement (IF 4.217)

[Giovanna Sannino <giovanna.sannino@icar.cnr.it>]

Dear Colleague,
due to the COVID-19, IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2020 will be held virtually.

Authors of the accepted papers will be invited to upload a 15 minutes presentation of their work, and their video will be available through this website to all interested readers.

Accepted papers will be anyway included in the ISCC 2020 Proceedings, and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp, and Scopus.
For each paper accepted at ICTS4eHealth workshop, one of the authors will have to pay a reduced fee just to cover the IEEExplore costs:
â IEEE Author Member Fee: 100 Euros
â IEEE Authors Non-Member Fee: 125 Euros

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version in the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (WoS Impact Factor 4.217, Scopus SJR 1.122) - Special Issue on "Enabling Technologies for Next Generation Telehealthcare".
