International Workshop on Scheduling in Healthcare Systems (SCHEALS'10)
25-27 August 2010
IAMSR, Åbo Akademi University
Turku, Finland
=======================================================================
Abstract
Many Healthcare providers have suffered a crisis of poor quality and inefficiency with rapidly increasing costs. Healthcare delivery faces complex scheduling needs and stands to gain from advances in scheduling technology and understanding. The SCHEALS 2010 workshop will take place at Åbo Akademi University in the city of Turku, in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Applied Operational Research (ICAOR'10). We invite you to join your colleagues for this international forum. Sharing of ideas, knowledge and experience is the primary goal of the workshop. The meeting would be ideal for young researchers to present their work, even at a preliminary stage, for constructive discussion and feedback.
Workshop Theme
The workshop will cover the general area of scheduling with particular emphasis being placed on healthcare applications, including, but not limited to:
* Automation
* Exact Methods
* Expert Systems
* Heuristics
* Machine Scheduling
* Meta-Heuristics
* Optimization
* Patient Scheduling
* Personnel Scheduling
* Queuing
* Rescheduling
* Shift Timetabling
* Simulation
* Uncertainty
Paper Submission
Researchers wishing to contribute to the conference are invited to submit manuscripts of not more than 12 pages either as full papers or extended abstracts. The working language of the conference is English. Authors are encouraged to prepare their manuscripts in LNCS style using the MS Word template provided by the Springer, please see Information for LNCS Authors.
Papers should be submitted online through the conference website submission system in MS Word 2003 format (.doc). All submissions will be reviewed by at least two referees, and successful papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings.
Special Issue
The authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration to post-workshop special issues of the Journal of Applied Operational Research (JAOR) or Lecture Notes in Management Science (LNMS).
