Modern Healthcare Systems that have embraced Internet technologies are evolving towards self
management from a clinical knowledge perspective. In contrast, patients are using Web 2.0 technologies and
developing social networking communities for healthcare which are evolving towards becoming user-
generated online medical portals. Semantic Web or Web 3.0 is now being developed by adding Artificial
Intelligence to internet services to deliver the next generation of personalised services. A grand challenge is
to focus the rapidly evolving social networking community towards defining healthcare solutions. A pioneering
session at SWWS '08 focuses on the research developments towards an open assisted living platform
combining web services and networked devices in a seamlessly connected health community called HoIP
which brings together Web, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies for personalised healthcare.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper (about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to
12) to Professor Andy Marsh by March. 15, 2008 (am@hoip.eu). Email submissions in MS Doc or PDF
formats are preferable. All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not
have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft
paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author as
well as the name of the conference the paper is being submitted to (i.e., SWWS'08). The first page should
also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent
the content of the paper.
CATEGORIES OF ACCEPTED PAPERS:
   (RRP) Regular Research Papers: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings. (20-minute formal
   presentation slot.),
   (RRR) Regular Research Reports: 7-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings. Presentation in an
   informal setting (during Discussion Sessions.) Typically, those authors with language difficulties prefer
   this mode of presentation.
   (SRP) Short Research Papers 4-page IEEE-style publication in the proceedings. Presentation in an
   informal setting (during Discussion Sessions.) Same presentation mode as RRR papers.
