* Conference Background and Goals The IADIS Health Informatics 2006 conference addresses several themes within the Health Informatics area.

You choose which sessions to attend from the conference themes offered and you can tailor your best schedule.
* Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in selected Journals like the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems.
* Types of Submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters-Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process.
