The 6th International IEEE Workshop on e-Health Pervasive Wireless Applications and Services e-HPWAS'18 (in conjunction with the prestigious 14h IEEE WiMob conference) targets providing optimal, secure and context aware e-health services with the best quality of services and user’s experience. 
Applications and services are considered in wireless environments and architecture with the use of IoT (Internet of things), big data analysis and a strong heterogeneity of access technologies, sensors, terminals, users’ needs and services (data, content, live streams or complex network services). 

eHPWAS encourages the submission of original works describing research results, practical or industrial e-health solutions. Papers describing advanced prototypes, platforms, techniques and general survey for discussing future perspectives and directions are also encouraged. 

Main Topics of Interest: 

- E-Health services in smart environments (smart homes, smart medical institutions, smart cities) 
- E-Health and the Internet of Things (IoT) 
- E-Health and Big Data analysis, summarization, prediction 
- Sensor networks for e-Health services (e.g. BAN, WPAN, etc.) 
- Network interoperability in the e-health ecosystems 
- Wireless network security and privacy (e.g. access networks, exchanged and shared medical data) 
- Wireless sensors, mobiles, and cognitive radio networks 
- User acceptance of advanced and complex e-health services 
- Quality of Experience (QoE) with e-health applications, services, and network technologies 
- E-Health services composition and adaptation 
- Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) with e-health services development 
- Norms for e-Health data exchange and distributions (e.g. HL7 norms, electronic health information exchange-HIE, Health Record-HER) 
- Existing and ongoing Web norms and communication technologies for e-Health (e.g. WebRTC) 
- Context Models for people monitoring and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) 
- Heterogeneity of e-Health environments and platforms (used sensors and actuators, heterogeneous access technologies, medical places) 
- Techniques and models for performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization 


All accepted papers will be published in the 14h IEEE WiMob conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be accessible via IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed by DBLP. The workshops will be held on October 15, 2018 (Limassol, Cyprus). 

All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The eHPWAS organizers will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. 

The eHPWAS organizers plan to have selected papers appear in a special journal issue. A selection of accepted papers of high quality will be considered and authors will be invited to produce an extended version to be published in a special issue of a specialized journal.
