** KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Prof. Dr. Christian Guttmann(*), "How Multi-Agent Systems and AI is a driving transformation force in Health Care"
Artificial Intelligence offers substantial benefits to how we deliver health care and medicine. AI is becoming increasingly accurate and effective in performing a broad range of complex health care related tasks (e.g. recognizing a malignant tumour on MRIs, and coordinating care). Such AI driven performance can then be scaled up, improve health outcomes and save many lives. As a result, AI helps clinicians, patients and many health stakeholders to make faster, better, and cheaper decisions, at scale. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the art in how AI and MAS are shaping the health care journey forward.

** SUMMARY
"CARE for Smarter Health" aims to discuss computational models, social computing, decision support systems, and agent-based technology, both theoretical models as well as research applied to practical solutions related to Healthcare and Medicine, including (non-exhaustive list):Personalized Healthcare. Topics of interest include (non-exhaustive list):
- Personalised Healthcare - Ethical Issues of AI and Health - Distributed Healthcare Systems - Social Computing in Healthcare - Decision support systems in Healthcare - Care for Chronic Conditions with AI Support - Deep Learning in Medicine - Medical Expert Systems - Care Team Coordination and Collaboration - Medical Robotics, Drones, Surgery, Prosthetics - Chatbots in Healthcare - Social Media Analysis for Epidemiology
The CARE workshop series promotes the research agenda around topics relevant to the future of the society aiming at novel technologies, translate research into industry, support new business and create new industries. The discussion will address questions such as: How to create and combine currently scientific paradigms and disruptive technologies that enable the next generation of solutions for challenging scenarios in health and socially-centred applications? How can we create computational models, representations, algorithms and protocols to enable the next generation of intelligent collaborative technologies? And finally, how to translate these advanced researches into industry solutions?
The half-day event will feature a mixture of invited talks, discussions and submitted contributions describing current work or work in progress in AI, agent and machine learning research and technology.
We conclude with a panel discussion around a proposed research agenda to advance the field of collaborative technology and healthcare, to foment the development of new technologies, support new business structures, and shape the academia-industry relationship.
** SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Submission is done electronically through Easychair. They should be formatted according to LNCS specification and submitted as a PDF file.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=care-2019
We seek three types of submissions: - Full paper of 8-12 pages. - Short paper of 4 pages, such as position and early result papers. - Demo paper of 4 pages describing a demonstration.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by, at least, three reviewers per paper. Selection criteria will include relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes, or which enhance balance of workshop topics. We plan to publish selected papers through Springer, possibly as Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS).
