In this paper we describe an innovative system that aims to integrate heterogeneous distributed healthcare information resources. It is based on the advantages of technologies like the extensible markup language (XML), controlled vocabularies (CVs) such as wordnet and the unified medical language system (UMLS), as well as the common object request broker architecture (CORBA). The proposed approach is based on three key functionalities: a) the user-transparent acquisition of each source's structural information, b) the lexical and semantical analysis based elaboration of the user's initial query and c) the appropriate combination of the results from the two previous functionalities, aiming to the selection of the query that corresponds with each source. CORBA is responsible for providing the interoperability between objects in this disparate distributed environment.

This paper provides an overview of the concept, the functionalities and the architecture of the CHILDCARE platform. The CHILDCARE system aims at supporting the out-of-hospital continuous healthcare management of chronically ill children. Special focus is placed on the utilization of the latest technology accomplishments towards the incorporation of teleconference sessions, collaborative spaces and intelligent add-ons over a common secure platform. This combination allows for: (a) remote communication between health experts and the child's family, (b) efficient collaboration between the responsible doctor and healthcare professionals, (c) interfacing legacy hospital information systems to obtain health records, (d) set-up, execution and monitoring of health management plans, (e) ubiquitous access from multiple devices, (f) role-based management of the actors with respect to their actual involvement in the healthcare process, (g) confidentiality and security at all levels.

We present an intelligent web-based system, called h-Life, which addresses the monitoring and improvement of health and lifestyle through the provision of customized dietary plans. Additional plan-related services including monitoring, alerting, reminding and evaluation, complement the functionality of the h-Life system. Several innovative components are integrated in order to efficiently manage the storage, access and retrieval of medical and personal data. Based on the latest technologies in intelligent and communication systems, the system provides the user with personalized dietary plans and lifestyle information, tailored to the individual needs. The h-Life system is based on a scalable and interoperable architecture that can be easily extended to accommodate future needs. Apart from a personal health assistant for the end-users, h-Life is a valuable tool for the health professionals that can remotely monitor their customers and manage the medical knowledge utilized by the system.

In this article, we present PLACEBO, an innovative software and hardware platform, which intends to solve biomedical problems formulated in terms of partial differential equations. It can be networked with various imaging devices, such as MRI and CT and can be used for pre-operative surgical planning. It employs an effective computational environment for solving partial differential equations, which is based on neural networks. This approach, in order to exploit the parallel character of the neural networks, is implemented partly in specialized hardware hosted on a commercial PC. There are two operation levels. A user-level, targeting health professionals that need to solve a set of predefined biomedical problems, and a bioengineering level, which allows the construction of problem sets. Since ease of use is of paramount importance for these kind of platforms, a friendly graphical user-interface is being developed.
In this paper, we show how standard GIS operations like the complement, union, intersection, and buffering of maps can be made more flexible by using fuzzy set theory. In particular, we present a variety of algorithms...
