Improvement of pressure ulcers (PU) images analysis through computerized techniques is advantageous both to medical assistance institutions and to patients' life quality. The scientific challenge is to improve assistance to patients with PU by means of reliable image analysis procedures. Diagnosis of stage and predominant texture in a PU is essentially an image colour classification problem that can use existing knowledge. This study performs a classification of pressure ulcers images through an algorithm based on ID3 to construct a decision tree that has RGB statistics as input features and PU stage and texture as target features. A decision tree is constructed first by classification of 18 images of a training set. Then this tree is tested in a set of 45 PU images. Acceptable classification accuracy for training sets was not confirmed in test set.
Treatment of pressure ulcers (PU) is essentially image dependent, because its surface provides relevant visual information for medical procedures. There is an increasing interest to adapt informationtechnology advanc...

This short paper/poster discusses the role uncertainty plays in judgments of the meaning and significance of ideas and texts encountered by scholars working with networked information systems. Uncertainty is often associated with risk, fear and danger. However, the perception and strategic use of uncertainty can be both a positive and negative influence on behavior. This poster discusses an investigation of the nature of uncertainty in the context of scholarly research and the use of networked information systems in the ongoing research activities of two informants. What forms do positive and negative perceptions of uncertainty take in this context? How much uncertainty are people in such a context prepared to tolerate? The themes presented here are based on a process-oriented, longitudinal study of these judgments. This poster invites discussion about the complexity surrounding searcher experiences of uncertainty by demonstrating how working through uncertainty becomes a mediating strategy for knowledge generation.

Our highly digitized world brings us into contact with networked information systems with the potential to help us locate information quickly and easily at the touch of a button. But it is far from easy to quickly find the exact information we need. Every new resource added increases the time needed to locate the right information. The increasing scale of resource collections continues to drive the need for innovative methods of organizing and providing access to the information within these collections (Bates, 1999 ). This panel will discuss the prospect of designing for uncertainty - that is creating information systems based on the premise that (in certain situations) uncertainty can be a powerful mediating strategy for people.

The high number of clients suffering from pressure ulcers (PU) overloads hospital services, which are not equipped with the necessary human and technological resources. One needs to increase the productivity of this work, since health professionals, especially nurses use subjective and inaccurate assessments for PU diagnosis. This paper proposes a system for automatic interpretation of tissue and color to support the treatment of patients with PU.
