PAPER SUBMISSION:
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 7
pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format, including tables,
figures and references. Download manuscript templates for IEEE conference
proceedings from: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no
additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee.
Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the
conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will
be published in the conference proceedings.

In IEEE ICTS4eHealth 2026, as well as in IEEE ISCC 2026, all submissions
must be done through EDAS.

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of ISCC 2026, of which
ICTS4eHealth conference is a co-located event, and will be submitted for
inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ICTSeHealth and ISCC proceedings have been
indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference
one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both
Computer and Communications areas.


BEST PAPER AWARD:
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a
paper presented at the conference, selected by the Chairs based on
scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of
the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the
Program Committee.
