CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
------------------
The First Workshop on "Blockchain & eHealth: Towards Provable Privacy & Security in Data intensive Health Research" will be held on:
November 7, 2017, Markham (Greater Toronto area), Ontario
https://www-01.ibm.com/ibm/cas/cascon/workshop.jsp
The workshop is co-located with CASCON 2017: The Cognitive Era: Data, Systems and Society conference
https://www-01.ibm.com/ibm/cas/cascon/
The registration for the conference and its workshops is free.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together security, privacy and eHealth experts from academia, healthcare institutions, industry and public policy to focus on the challenges and opportunities of developing a blockchain enabled infrastructure that promotes trust between different stakeholders in health research and enables a provable privacy-aware path to real time access to patients data.
We invite interested researchers to submit an abstract (limit of 500 words) reporting the state of their research relevant to the workshop objectives. Accepted abstract submissions will be invited to present in the workshop. Both research and application papers are solicited. The submitted abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance and clarity. We particularly encourage PhD students in the early stage of their research on blockchain and R&D managers who are planning the application of blockchain technology to submit an abstract to this workshop.
Topics of this workshop include (but not limited to) the following:
• Decentralized platforms for health information exchange
• Public vs. private Blockchain for health research
• Access control, anonymity and privacy issues among blockchain participants
• Blockchain scalability issues and its solutions
• Blockchain threat models, attacks, defenses and countermeasures
• Network forensics in Blockchain
• Blockchain trust verification models
• Legal, ethical, and societal aspects of using blockchain in health research
• Case studies (for adoption, attacks, etc.)
