Held in conjunction with the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW) is the premier event for

Computer Science researchers across Australasia that comprise several conferences covering a wide

range Computer Science topics. ACSW is attended by many national and international delegates

comprising academics, industry representatives and HDR students.

HIKM has been a leading forum for academic research in the area of computing in support of healthcare in

the Pacific Australasian region for over a decade. Submission of papers presenting original unpublished

work is now open. Accepted papers will be published with ACM Press. Papers should address current

research topics in the field of computational intelligence, big data analytics, safety and security in health
