Business intelligence is a new methodology to maximize the benefits for healthcare organization Business intelligence provides an integrated view of data that can be used to monitor, key performance indicators, identify hidden patterns in diagnosis and identify variations in cost factors. Intelligent techniques provide an effective computational methods and robust environment for business intelligence in the healthcare domain. From the technical point of view, healthcare based business intelligence systems, are complex to build, maintain and face the knowledge-acquisition difficulty. Efficiency of such systems is determined by the efficiency of the intelligent techniques and methodologies. This paper discusses AI based techniques and approaches which are used in such systems namely; expert systems, data mining and grid computing.

One of the main recent achievements in engineering is description of complex products and their physical environment in a single object model. This model has capabilities to serve engineering from the first specification of a product to recycling. New research programs were needed in order to establish a new style of engineering where engineers communicate model creation and application procedures. The authors joined to these efforts and developed new modeling methods for the above purpose. In this paper they introduce some of these methods considering needs by the complex and knowledge intensive engineering for robot systems. Paper starts with an outline of application of virtual spaces in robot system modeling. Following this, a content based contextual object definition is explained considering robotic application. Next, application of human control by contextual spaces for adaptive definition of engineering objects and the related control of product definition are shown. Finally, object space for robot system is outlined as application related issue of the proposed modeling.

Traditional process mining approaches focus on extracting process constraints or business rules from repositories of process instances. In this context, process designs or process models tend to be overlooked although they contain information that are valuable for the process of discovering business rules. This paper will propose an alternative approach to process mining in terms of using process designs as the mining resources. We propose a number of techniques for extracting business rules from repositories of business process designs or models, leveraging the well-known Apriori algorithm. Such business rules are then used as a prior knowledge for further analysing, verifying, and modifying process designs.

A wide variety of programming abstractions have been developed for cyber-physical systems. These approaches provide support for the composition of cyber-physical systems from generic units of application functionality. This paper surveys the current state-of-the-art in composition mechanisms for cyber physical systems and reviews each approach in terms of its support for composition analysis, re-use and adaptation. We then review approaches for modeling and verifying cyber-physical application compositions and conclude by proposing promising research directions that will address these shortcomings.

Classification of high resolution urban remote sensing imagery is addressed. The classification is done by both considering the panchromatic imagery and the multi-spectral image obtained using the spectrally consistent fusion method introduced in [1]. The data are classified using support vector machines (SVM). To further enhance the classification accuracy, mathematical morphology is used to derive local spatial information from the panchromatic data. In particular we use the Morphological Profile (MP) in classification of satellite imagery as was proposed in [2, 3]. We also use the derivative of the MP (DMP). In the majority of the image fusion (pansharpening) techniques proposed today, there is a compromise between the spatial enhancement and the spectral consistency. By comparing classification results obtained by using our model based scheme [1] to results obtained using the IHS and Brovey fusion methods, we find that spectrally consistent data give better results when it comes to classification.

Visual information retrieval systems are often constructed upon the notion of image similarity. The concept of image similarity may be defined in many ways: from a pure visual level, where we seek identical images, to a semantic level related with human perception the image. In our research we address the first approach, we explore topics of image matching (image alignment), however in terms of image fragments. The goal of image fragment matching is to find similar parts of two images, without a given model of particular objects present on images. It is also assumed that the number of similar objects (image fragments) is not known. In this paper we present a novel method for image fragment matching. It uses two ellipse pairs as an elementary object for image geometry reconstruction. The method is an extension of the previously proposed approach based on triangles. We have decided to replace triangles with a different geometrical structure to reduce computational complexity from O(n 3 ) to O(n 2 ), where n is the number of coherent key regions. We discuss and compare both matching methods both in terms of quality and processing efficiency.
