CFP IEEE ICTS4eHealth - Extended deadline, Virtual Presentation and Special Issue announcement (IF 4.217)

Dear Colleague,
due to the COVID-19, IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2020 will be held *virtually*.

Authors of the accepted papers will be invited to upload a 15 minutes 
presentation of their work, and their video will be available through 
this website to all interested readers.

Accepted papers will be anyway included in the ISCC 2020 Proceedings, 
and will be submitted for inclusion to *IEEE Xplore*. The ISCC 
Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp, and Scopus.
For each paper accepted at ICTS4eHealth workshop, one of the authors 
will have to pay a reduced fee just to cover the IEEExplore costs:
•    IEEE Author Member Fee: 100 Euros
•    IEEE Authors Non-Member Fee: 125 Euros

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version 
in the*IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (WoS Impact 
Factor 4.217, Scopus SJR 1.122)* - Special Issue on "Enabling  
Technologies for Next Generation Telehealthcare".

=======================================================
ICTS4eHealth 2020
