Efficiency in processing algorithms of biological systems is actually one of the most relevant areas in computational biology. On the other hand, the technological advances in development of reconfigurable devices as FPGAs, offers today the possibility of designing really efficient implementations, which takes advantages of their particular characteristics as high speed, high integration density and...
Trading and Stock Behavioral Analysis Systems require efficient Artificial Intelligence techniques for analyzing large financial datasets and have become in the current economic landscape a significant challenge for multi-disciplinary research. Particularly, Trading-oriented Decision Support Systems based on the Chartist or Technical Analysis Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) have been published and...
The processing of high amount of documents is a highly complex challenge, which becomes even more complicated when the goal is to extract the semantically relevant data within the documents. The large-scale processing of immense repositories of knowledge requires techniques which perform information extraction to facilitate the subsequent classification and indexing of texts. Having this into account,...
Assertions or formal program specifications are fundamental to build more reliable software. One of the most important applications of assertions is found in the design by contract metaphor: pre-conditions, invariants and post-conditions. Current assertion approaches use some software technology that relies on simple mechanisms; however their actual implementation can be both quite complex and instrusive...
Rich Internet applications are a technology which allows the content presentation of Web applications in a similar way to desktop applications. This technology has taken a great importance for the development of all kinds of Web applications, including the Web services. In this work, a mechanism for RIA optimization in mobile devices is proposed. Furthermore, we propose an architecture for content...
Web services are software components that allow the communication between applications in order to get the application integration. Commonly, the information exchanged through Web services invocation is XML data which need to be interpreted to understand the content. In a Web service invocation, the developments of interfaces are required to interpret both the request and the response, but is more...
Automated medical diagnosis systems based on knowledge-oriented descriptions have gained momentum with the emergence of Semantic Descriptions. However, soundness and efficiency of the underlying logics in these descriptions are critical to harness the potential of these systems. In this paper, we provide a well-structured ontology for automated diagnosis and a three-fold formalization based on Predicate...
The problem of accessing some coordinates from others in the case of an accident is not trivial. Congestion due to the current state of traffic or certain traffic signal states, frequently delays emergency services in their objective to arrive at the scene of the incident in the shortest time frame possible. The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction to this subject, and introduce a technique...
The systematic method used to identify diseases is a called differential diagnosis (DDx). It is mostly used by healthcare professionals to diagnose a specific disease in a patient. If the disease is diagnosed, the method could be used to recommend the medications in order to receive treatment. The goal of the current paper is to design a system based on semantic Web technologies to a system with the...
Human gait has been one of active research topics in the computer vision community for the last years. But most vision-based gait studies focus on gait classification and recognition purposes. Our research focus on computer vision gait analysis from the medical point of view as a means to deduce physical conditions of people and aid the specialist in diagnosing and treating gait anomalies. This paper...
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has become a new paradigm for distributed applications development. SOA allows the integration of legacy systems with new development applications and to create more flexible and adaptive applications. Also, it allows decreasing implementation and maintenance times. SOA uses Web services technology as a solution for business applications integration. This paper...
The differential diagnosis (ddx) is a systematic method to identify unknowns. This method, essentially a process of elimination, is used by taxonomists to identify living organisms and by physicians to diagnose the specific disease in a patient. One important point is the enormous amount of knowledge that doctors are required to possess, in order to be able to make a correct ddx. The main problem...
The emergence of component-based systems technologies and the increasing evolution of the service oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm towards using semantics offer companies new opportunities to reduce the complexity of integrating heterogeneous software components over the Web and provide new added value services. However, several issues need to be addressed to equal the benefits of traditional...
Web services choreography allows enterprises to create new business processes that mirror today's dynamic and ever-changing business needs. Creating a business process requires not only a clear definition of the collaboration patterns of all its components, but also a way of depicting standard business-to-business (B2B) and enterprise application integration (EAI) interactions. In this context, WS-CDL...
Human gait analysis help doctors analyze, diagnose and document aberrant gaits with tools that compare the gait of patients before and after treatment to historical cases of normal and abnormal gaits. Among tools used for walking analysis, 3D scanners are some of the most useful because they can generate high fidelity reconstruction of patientpsilas movement, aiding the specialist in the diagnosis...
Service industry is a major constituent of developed economies. Providing services is a knowledge-intensive, customer-specific, on-demand business. In the business information systems domain, service-oriented architectures (SOA) and Web services (WS), as an emerging approach to moving services into the computing world, are two of the most discussed topics in the areas related to Internet research...
The Grid is becoming a significantly important vehicle for business transactions by means of service-oriented architecture (SOA). In that direction, the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) is a prominent initiative that aims at providing a standardised set of capabilities and behaviours that address key concerns in Grid systems. However, the challenge remains in harnessing the potential of Grid...
Presently, not only a large amount of information resources are available on the Web, but also a complete lattice of dynamic applications, namely, software components and Web Services. Hence, an increasing demand of a proper model and architecture for composition of software components has triggered a huge amount of integration efforts. However, most of them are partially ignoring operational and...
The universal serial bus (USB) has become the most popular communication interface among personal computers and embedded devices because of its ease of use, low cost, data bandwidth and availability in most computing systems. Microchippsilas PIC 18Fx550 microcontroller has an embedded USB controller that allows rapid development of USB enabled devices. This paper presents a system for bidirectional...
Business process management (BPM) is the management of IT-supported business operations from a business expert's process view rather than from a technical perspective. The application of SW technologies to BPM has gained interest in both the academic and corporate sector. The most significant issue facing BPM is the integration of business processes in a dynamic environment with an IT system in order...
