= Background =
In the latest years we have been witnessing the ubiquitous application of
Artificial Intelligence in real-world domains; in particular, AI-based
solutions significantly changed the game in the field of medicine and
healthcare in several respects (research, management, clinical practice).
Indeed, applications of AI in the healthcare domain became a major research
topics, that attracts cross-disciplinary research groups.
Medicine and health care require highly complex decision making to ensure
that the trajectory a patient with a disease needs to take for diagnosis,
treatment, recovery, and finally outcome is optimal in some sense. As a
consequence, researchers have to draw methods from the entire field of AI.
On the other hand, healthcare and medicine are built upon a rich and
evolving body of knowledge, e.g., concerning the pathophysiology of
diseases, molecular, genetic, cytological, and histological
characterization of stages of a disease, described by temporal and spatial
patterns. Such knowledge can also act as background knowledge to guide
machine learning. In order to move towards effective and long-lasting
applications of AI in healthcare, it is crucial to elucidate the
relationship between what can be expected from AI methods when applied to
healthcare problems and the role knowledge of healthcare and clinical
medicine can play in developing AI solutions to health-care and clinical
problems.


= The Workshop =
Following the success of the first edition, the HC at AIxIA workshop aims at
gathering researchers from academia, industry and medical centers for
presenting and discussing the latest research results and ongoing works
related to the application and impact of AI in the healthcare domain, to
the larger extent, thus aiming at covering a wide spectrum of topics,
including theoretical and practical aspects, methodologies, technologies,
and systems.

Topics include, ***but are not limited to***:
 - Machine learning methods, data mining and statistical methods for
clinical decision support
 - Probabilistic graphical models for clinical decision-making and causal
networks
 - Learning, representation and reasoning with time
 - Knowledge representation, reasoning and formal argumentation in
healthcare:
 - Methods for diagnosis, treatment selection, treatment planning, and
prognosis
 - Monitoring patients in healthcare
 - Ontologies and medical vocabularies
 - Personalized medicine
 - Computer-interpretable clinical guidelines
 - Support for natural language generation/understanding in connection
electronic patient records
 - Tools for supporting authoring, execution and maintenance of clinical
protocols and guidelines
 - Tools for building and deployment of clinical decision-support systems


= Contributions =
The workshop will feature presentations of refereed contributions; four
types of submissions are invited:
 - full papers;
 - short papers, which are particularly suitable for presenting work in
progress, software prototypes, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, or
general overviews of research projects;
 - systems or prototype software descriptions: they must include a brief
description, prepared according to the guidelines given for short papers,
and a specification of the required hardware and software equipment.
Systems of both research and industrial character are welcome.
 - papers already submitted to other conferences or journals, suitable for
dissemination and opening discussion.

Besides demos, some contributions might be invited to be presented as
posters.


= Submission Instructions =
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts in PDF via the EasyChair
system at the link:

    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcaixia2023

Articles must not exceed 15 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short
papers, respectively. No page limit is set for non-original contributions.
Manuscripts should be formatted using the CEUR-ART style available at the
link:
https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html.

To ease the reviewing process, the authors of regular papers may add an
appendix (although reviewers are not required to consider it in their
evaluation).

All contributions must be written in English.

For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors is required to:
 - register to AIxIA 2023;
 - attend HC at AIxIA 2023 workshop and present the paper (each attendee
should not present more than 2 works at the workshop).

The event is organized by AIxIA.


= Proceedings =
All accepted original contributions (both full and short) will be published
on CEUR-WS.org. Non-original communications will be given visibility on the
workshop web site, including a link to the original publication, if already
published.


= Journal Special Issue =
Workshop post-proceedings will be part of a special issue of the
international journal "Progress in Artificial Intelligence", published by
Springer (ISSN: 2192-6352) - provided that a sufficient amount of quality
papers is collected. In such case, authors of accepted papers (including
non-originals, if not published in a journal yet) will be invited to submit
extended and revised versions of their papers. A second review formal
process will be run in order to meet the expected quality of a journal.



= Working Group Meeting
All authors of accepted papers are invited to participate in the annual
meeting of the AI and Healthcare Working Group of AIxIA, that will be held
right after the workshop.
