National and international efforts under the initiative ‘patient safety’ aim for more safety and transparency within healthcare systems for both patients and professionals. Within the healthcare sector, workflows become more and more complex, while time and money become scarce. As the consequence, the risk awareness, fault management and quality aspects in general become more important. One of the most established risk assessment methods is Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) – a reliability analysis and risk assessment tool widely used in various industries. The traditional FMEA is using a Risk Priority Number (RPN) ranking system to evaluate and identify the risk level of failures, and to prioritize actions. However, there are shortcomings in obtaining a quality estimate of the failure ratings with FMEA, especially when human factors play a role, as it is in healthcare. Thus, a new risk assessment method named HFdFMEA (Human Factor dependent FMEA) based on dependency of used parameters and observation of human factors, is proposed to address these drawbacks. The results of this paper show that the HFdFMEA does not only increase risk level of failures based on the inclusion of human-factors but also gives the possibility to reduce the risk level of failures through means of addressing human-factors via trainings, motivation, etc. Finally, we discuss the opportunity to improve patient safety as result of the proposed HFdFMEA, used as technique for Human-Factor-based Risk Management (RiDeM).
Whenever personal data is processed, privacy is a serious issue. Especially in the document-centric e-health area, the patients' privacy must be preserved in order to prevent any negative repercussions for the pat...

In industrial production systems engineering projects, the work of software managers depends on engineering artifacts coming from multiple disciplines. In particular, it is important to software managers to assess the project risk from the status and evolution of various heterogenous distributed engineering artifacts. Thus, software risk management is most often an error prone and cumbersome task in such projects. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a model-based foundation for risk assessment in multi-disciplinary systems engineering projects. In particular, we build on the recent modeling support for the Automation ML (AML) standard which enables representing data coming from different engineering disciplines as models and employ a linking language to reason on a set of distributed engineering artifacts and their relationships. Based on this pillars, we propose in this paper a dedicated metric suite and measurement support for AML as an important ingredient for efficient risk assessment of heterogenous and distributed engineering data. We evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach by providing tool support on top of the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and demonstrate its application with a showcase based on a real-world case study.

In concurrent engineering process for industrial production plants, the domain experts need to keep an overview on the different engineering artifacts which are changed in parallel to coordinate their work. Unfortunately, current solutions often lack support for providing a versioned overview on data elements of local engineering results coming from different tools by linking them to the overall plant structure. Recently, the AutomationML (AML) standard for tool data exchange has provided a foundation for harmonizing engineering data exchange coming from a heterogeneous tool network by means of a unified format which may be also exploited in concurrent engineering processes. In this paper, we introduce a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach for developing and providing versioning and linking support for AML. The MDE process builds on an AML metamodel to derive tool support (i) for representing sets of local engineering results as data elements in AML files, (ii) for extracting AML data elements for versioning the local engineering results, and (iii) for linking the versioned local engineering results to an AML tree representing the overall plant structure. We evaluate the feasibility of the approach with a showcase based on a real-world case study. The results show that the MDE approach worked efficiently to derive tool support for versioning and linking AML structures.

We present an innovative L-shaped trifocal system involving a high-end main camera with a compact assistant stereo rig attached to it. The system can accurately reconstruct dense disparity information which enables the creation and processing of high-quality 3D film content based on virtual view synthesis. In particular, our system provides compactness and increased flexibility in the spatial camera arrangement, improving upon previous approaches which have focused on linear camera arrays. We provide technical details on our whole workflow, ranging from the hardware design to the key algorithms including rectification, disparity computation and virtual view synthesis based on inter-camera mapping. A subjective evaluation based on a user study demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed approach in terms of quality of the 3D viewing experience.

We present a generic model for multimodal information retrieval, leveraging different information sources to improve the effectiveness of a retrieval system. The proposed method is able to take into account both explicit and latent semantics present in the data and can be used to answer complex queries, not currently answerable neither by document retrieval systems, nor by semantic web systems. By providing a hybrid approach combining IR and structured search techniques, we prepare a framework applicable to multimodal data collections. To test its effectiveness, we instantiate the model for an image retrieval task. Copyright 2014 ACM.

A common way of formulating search queries over a set of items is to select facets these items should satisfy. For example, when searching for a specific person based on specific skills, the user wants to specify the skills she is searching for. Very often, few or no search results are returned that satisfy all search facets, which leads the user to iteratively refine her search. This process is not only tedious and time consuming, but it might cause the user to miss relevant results that partially satisfy the search constraints. We present a visualization of multi-faceted data which provides an overview of which data items satisfy each combination of search facets. By means of interaction and visual guidance, the user can interactively refine her search queries and retrieve the items that satisfy as much of the desired search facets as possible.
