The annual number of publications at scientific venues, for example, conferences and journals, is growing quickly. Hence, even for researchers it becomes harder and harder to keep track of research topics and their pr...

In this paper we look at information technology (IT) trends in the healthcare sector. We analyse recent changes in IT implementations in the healthcare sector to identify critical factors and technologies that are likely to be an integral part of healthcare institutions (HIs) in the new millennium. We contend that the recent advances in Biomedical knowledge coupled with the Genetic engineering revolution are likely to bring about an increased understanding of known diseases and will lead to the identification of new risk factors. We then highlight the fact that, despite appreciating the importance of ensuring integration between different Healthcare Information Systems, HIs are not allocating sufficient funds for this. We highlight the case of US based HIs who face IT challenges in light of a marginal percentage decrease in financial resources for IT purposes. We identify the lack of an Integrated Healthcare Information System to be the most fundamental obstacle that is denying the productivity explosion needed in the healthcare sector. To provide a realistic solution, we look at some of the technologies that together could provide solutions. We use data from our collaborating organization to present a possible low cost IT solution.
In domains with high knowledge distribution a natural objective is to create principle foundations for collaborative interactive learning environments. We present a first mathematical characterization of a collaborati...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are made up of tiny sensor nodes which sense the data and communicate to the base station via other nodes. These sensor nodes are inexpensive portable devices with limited processing power and energy resources which make them in need of smart clustering protocols. Many clustering and routing protocols were proposed in the literature to serve large networks of such tiny devices. In this paper, we have implemented and analyzed different clustering protocols, namely LEACH, LEACH-C, LEACH-1R, and HEED using MATLAB environment. These clustering protocols are compared in different terms such as residual energy, data delivery to the base station, maximum number of rounds and the number of live nodes. Experimental results showed a better performance of the LEACH protocols when compared to the different versions of HEED. Moreover, LEACH-1R proved to be efficient in terms of network lifetime.
While the interpretability of machine learning models is often equated with their mere syntactic comprehensibility, we think that interpretability goes beyond that, and that human interpretability should also be inves...

There has been a significant increase in recent years in the volume and diversity of streams of data, data streams from sensors, data streams arising from the analysis of content or data mining, right through to user generated Twitter streams. There has been a corresponding increase in demand for more real-time analysis of these streams in order to spot significant events and trends of interest to an individual or business. This has resulted in an increased need to achieve efficient temporal reasoning upon the streams. In this paper, we present a novel approach to perform temporal reasoning on real time streams of data using Semantic Web Technologies so that we could derive more valuable information by taking account of the time dimension. Moreover, in order to deal with such high-frequency data, several filter mechanisms have been implemented to, significantly, improve the performance of the reasoning process. In order to illustrate and evaluate the approach, the real-time analysis of Twitter data is taken as a concrete use case for such data streams.
Ordinal real-world data such as concept hierarchies, ontologies, genealogies, or task dependencies in scheduling often has the property to not only contain pairwise comparable, but also incomparable elements. Order di...
