WIS 2012 will review academic contributions on these topics at the intersection of health, ICT and urban way of living, all manifested in the information society context, but also room for industry and third-sector contributions is found in the program.
A special track on Age and Information Society will be organized!

e-Health
Urban planning for health and sustainable development
