From Grid to Healthgrid
This publication provides a forum for projects in the medical, biological and biomedical domains as well as for grid projects that seek to integrate these. The overall objective is to reinforce and promote the awareness of the deployment of grid technology in health. The emphasis is on results of current grid projects in health care. This will show in the outcome of field tests and will identify deployment strategies for prototype applications in health care. In addition, outstanding problem areas and technological challenges are identified and new solutions to these issues are proposed. From Grid to Healthgrid is divided in four themes: - Knowledge and Data Management - Deployments of Grids in Health - Current Projects and - Ethical, Legal, Social and Security Issues. The papers show that healthgrid has matured beyond its original projects and is now tackling some difficult problems that seemed intractable up till two years ago.
High-Performance Computing and Networking
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on High-Performance Computing and Networking, HPCN Europe 2001, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in June 2001. The 67 revised papers and 15 posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of almost 200 submissions. Among the areas covered are Web/grid applications of HPCN, end user applications, computational science, computer science, and Java in HPCN.
Cellular Automata
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry, ACRI 2010, held in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, in September 2010. The first part of the volume contains 39 revised papers that were carefully reviewed and selected from the main conference; they are organized according to six main topics: theoretical results on cellular automata, modeling and simulation with cellular automata, CA dynamics, control and synchronization, codes and cryptography with cellular automata, cellular automata and networks, as well as CA-based hardware. The second part of the volume comprises 35 revised papers dedicated to contributions presented during ACRI 2010 workshops on theoretical advances, specifically asynchronous cellular automata, and challenging application contexts for cellular automata: crowds and CA, traffic and CA, and the international workshop of natural computing.
Complex Systems
The National Academies Keck Futures Initiative was launched in 2003 to stimulate new modes of scientific inquiry and break down the conceptual and institutional barriers to interdisciplinary research. At the Conference on Complex Systems, participants were divided into twelve interdisciplinary working groups. The groups spent nine hours over two days exploring diverse challenges at the interface of science, engineering, and medicine. The groups included researchers from science, engineering, and medicine, as well as representatives from private and public funding agencies, universities, businesses, journals, and the science media. The groups needed to address the challenge of communicating and working together from a diversity of expertise and perspectives as they attempted to solve complicated, interdisciplinary problems in a relatively short time. The summaries contained in this volume describe the problem and outline the approach taken, including what research needs to be done to understand the fundamental science behind the challenge, the proposed plan for engineering the application, the reasoning that went into it and the benefits to society of the problem solution.
Grid Computing
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First European Across Grids Conference held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain in February 2003. The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers address all current issues in grid computing, in particular grid middleware architectures, tools, resource management, job scheduling, data management, grid-based distant e-learning, stream-oriented database management, data stripping, large-scale grid applications, simulation, visualization, data mining, grid performance analysis, and grid monitoring.
Powers of Two
Is everything Information? This is a tantalizing question which emerges in modern physics, life sciences, astronomy and in today’s information and technology-driven society. In Powers of Two expert authors undertake a unique expedition - in words and images - throughout the world (and scales) of information. The story resembles, in a way, the classic Powers of Ten journeys through space: from us to the macro and the micro worlds . However, by following Powers of Two through the world of information, a completely different and timely paradigm unfolds. Every power of two, 1, 2, 4, 8.... tells us a different story: starting from the creation of the very first bit at the Big Bang and the evolu...
Medical and Care Compunetics 2
The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics (ICMCC) was founded in 2004 to create the infrastructure necessary for business-to- business and business-to-customer applications of information and communication technology in the medical and care domains. This text features a collection of papers delivered at ICMCC symposia in 2005. Follo.
Medical and Care Compunetics 3
This publication covers aspects concerning information supply to patient and professional; electronic health records, its standards, its social implications; and new developments in medical and care compunetics. For citizen / patient-related information, it is necessary to use the latest medical and care compunetics. The editors recognize the possible threat to patient safety of the information available on the internet. They also see the problems of professionals to find information on the latest developments in medical and care compunetics in a structured way. This book is dedicated to the co-founder of the ICMCC Foundation, Professor Swamy Laxminarayan, who passed away on September 29, 2005.
Bioevaluation of World Transport Networks
Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrous single cell well known for its task-solving abilities solves computational geometry and logical problems, navigates robots and generates music. The slime mould could also build motorways, highways and expressways. It is used to analyse transport networks of Africa, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Iberia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, UK and USA. The largest cities are represented by oat flakes and the slime mould is inoculated in a capital. When all oat flakes are covered by the slime mould, the structure of the protoplasmic networks formed are analyzed. In the laboratory experiments and theoretical analyses, in...
Methods and Tools of Parallel Programming Multicomputers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second Russia-Taiwan Symposium on Methods and Tools of Parallel Programming, MTPP 2010, held in Vladivostok, Russia in May 2010. The 33 revised full papers were carefully selected from a large number of submissions and cover the many dimensions of methods and tools of parallel programming, algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental approaches as well as commercial components and systems.
