Abstract :
This special issue aims to provide a central forum for researchers with different background and from the diverse fields of engineering, computing, medicine and health science to present the latest findings and the state-of-art methodologies for the cross-area research on computerized health care, which includes not only the fundamental issues on data analytics in the rich context of health related multimedia data, but also the crucial components such as health data representation, management, analysis, classification, bioinformatics, machine learning, ubiquitous computing and network technologies. The goal of this special issue is to foster the state-of-art research findings, methodologies, technologies and services on a general platform of multimedia computing for diverse cross area healthcare applications with the insight into the current advances, challenges and trends. Its coverage and impact is beyond the conventional medical imaging by providing more comprehensive health related content on the aspects of diversity, complexity and generalization. Prospective authors are requested to submit new, unpublished manuscripts for inclusion in the upcoming event described in this call for papers.
