The objective of this workshop is to provide an informal forum for researchers from academia, industry and health care institutions to present their work on digital libraries in healthcare, share their experience and discuss mutual technical and user-centred interests in order to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial and real-world project needs. Academic researchers can often provide technically brilliant solutions to theoretical problems with no applicability to the real-world systems. Real-world health care project decision makers are not involved in cutting-edge research to see how new inventions could serve the needs of real projects. User-centred research should bridge this gap but the application of this within the healthcare domain has been limited. This workshop is aiming to bridge this gap by providing digital library researchers an opportunity to discuss and collaborate with colleagues working on real-world healthcare projects. In particular, it will focus on information management in health-care digital libraries, health care information provision on the Internet, searching and Web crawling, personalization aspects and end-user evaluation and needs for information in digital libraries. The presentations are not
expected to be directly related to existing healthcare applications but
should address technical or implementation issues that need to be solved in
real health care systems. By attracting researchers and decision makers from
academia, industry and health care institutions, this workshop will be a
unique event providing a forum for sharing both technical user-centred
interests enabling post-workshop collaboration. |
