Workshop Description

Life quality has been attached importance by the modern peoples. More and more people would like to choose to live in a clam, clean, safe surroundings and regard the comfortable environment will benefit their health. Water, air, and radiation are three critical external factors to affect the human physical state. There must be a systematic model to descript and monitor the food safety, climate change, community chemical drift, land and environmental health practice, drinking water and other environment issues. Via environmental optimization, we can attain the finer precondition for the human health. A Multiple Objective Decision Analysis Involving Health and Safety Risks is a comparatively innovative research field to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate different health and medical topic.

We developed this workshop to improve the multiple objective decision support on health and environment domain among academic researchers and industry practiser. The workshop welcomes both high-quality academic (theoretical or empirical) and practical papers in the broad ranges of multiple objective decision support on environment, health scenario including, but not limited to the following:

Multiple objective decision support systems,

Health Information Technology

Medical Image Processing and Mining

Text Mining in Health

Health Data Warehouses/OLAP

Clinical Decision Support

Health Information Modelling and Integration

Health Information Retrieval, Analysis, Visualization and Prediction

Health Knowledge Discovery

Ontology and Semantic Web services

Security, Privacy and Trust in Health Domain

Multiple objective model for optimization on environment or health domain,

Medical related topic using the MCDM tools, bioinformatics with the MCDM algorithm,
