Patients with serious diseases, such as cancer, often must consider and choose between multiple clinical trials. Patients are often concerned that participation in one clinical trial may preclude their participation in another trial. We are developing a system to help patients in this decision making process, focusing on pediatric cancer where clinical trial participation is very high. In this paper,...
Patients with serious long-term disease often search for clinical trial information on their own, using sites such as ClinicalTrials.gov. We are developing a patient-focused search tool for clinical trials. Since patients are often concerned that participation in one clinical trial may preclude their participation in other trials, one of the planned features of this system will be the ability to analyze...
Patients facing a serious disease often want to be able to search for relevant clinical trials for new or more effective alternative treatments. The NIH makes all of its trials available on a website, in fact, for this purpose. Its search facility, however, is difficult to use and requires the patient to sift through lengthy text descriptions for relevant information. Our overall aim is to build a...
Effective communication among members of a software development team is considered to be a critical factor in the success of software projects. Social network analysis is a promising way to analyze communication patterns that has been used in a number of studies of professional software development teams. In this paper, we present preliminary data on communication events collected in a software engineering...
We illustrate here how software engineers developing engineering design systems can introduce patterns into the conceptual modeling techniques that were developed in the database community and integrate them with techniques that are emerging in the object-oriented analysis and engineering design community. The goal is to raise the level of abstraction used to communicate software specifications and...
