Download or read book Temporal and Fuzzy Relational Databases written by Dr. Nadeem Mahmood and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is the one of the most important and complex attribute in managing databases and information systems. This book presents the importance of temporal logic in developing temporal database models and also indicates the important concepts in designing such systems. The book further investigates the representation of fuzzy data in the relational database environment and summarizes the important contributions in the field of temporal and fuzzy databases. Most of the proposed temporal database models are the extension of the classical relational model. The book further presents the key concepts for building ontological model to manage both temporal and fuzzy dimensions into database system. We have proposed a conceptual model called TempR-PDM which is an extension of the traditional entity relationship model and is extended to cover development of conceptual fuzzy-temporal relational model (FTRM). Patient data has been used to implement the model in practical form. This book addresses several aspects of temporal and fuzzy information in building database applications with emphasis on conceptual database model.

Download or read book Visualization of Time Oriented Data written by Wolfgang Aigner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is an exceptional dimension that is common to many application domains such as medicine, engineering, business, or science. Due to the distinct characteristics of time, appropriate visual and analytical methods are required to explore and analyze them. This book starts with an introduction to visualization and historical examples of visual representations. At its core, the book presents and discusses a systematic view of the visualization of time-oriented data along three key questions: what is being visualized (data), why something is visualized (user tasks), and how it is presented (visual representation). To support visual exploration, interaction techniques and analytical methods are required that are discussed in separate chapters. A large part of this book is devoted to a structured survey of 101 different visualization techniques as a reference for scientists conducting related research as well as for practitioners seeking information on how their time-oriented data can best be visualized.

Download or read book Computer based Medical Guidelines and Protocols A Primer and Current Trends written by A. Ten Teije and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008-07-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together results from different branches of computer science (in particular, artificial intelligence), medical informatics and medicine to examine cutting edge approaches to computer-based guideline modeling, verification and interpretation. Different methods have been developed to support the development, deployment, maintenance and use of evidence-based guidelines, using techniques from artificial intelligence, software engineering, medical informatics and formal methods. Such methods employ different representation formalisms and computational techniques. As the guideline-related research spans a wide range of research communities, a comprehensive integration of the results of these communities was lacking. It is the intention of this book to fill this gap. It is the first book of its kind that partially has the nature of a textbook. The book consists of two parts. The first part consists of nine chapters which together offer a comprehensive overview of the most important medical and computer-science aspects of clinical guidelines and protocols. The second part of the book consists of chapters that are extended versions of selected papers that were originally submitted to the ECAI-2006 workshop ‘AI Techniques in Health Care: Evidence-based Guidelines and Protocols’. These chapters will provide the reader detailed information about actual research in the area by leading researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of a pioneering technical work in biomedical informatics provides a very readable treatment of the deep computational ideas at the foundation of the field. Principles of Biomedical Informatics, 2nd Edition is radically reorganized to make it especially useable as a textbook for courses that move beyond the standard introductory material. It includes exercises at the end of each chapter, ideas for student projects, and a number of new topics, such as:• tree structured data, interval trees, and time-oriented medical data and their use• On Line Application Processing (OLAP), an old database idea that is only recently coming of age and finding surprising importance in biomedical informatics• a discussion of nursing knowledge and an example of encoding nursing advice in a rule-based system• X-ray physics and algorithms for cross-sectional medical image reconstruction, recognizing that this area was one of the most central to the origin of biomedical computing• an introduction to Markov processes, and• an outline of the elements of a hospital IT security program, focusing on fundamental ideas rather than specifics of system vulnerabilities or specific technologies. It is simultaneously a unified description of the core research concept areas of biomedical data and knowledge representation, biomedical information access, biomedical decision-making, and information and technology use in biomedical contexts, and a pre-eminent teaching reference for the growing number of healthcare and computing professionals embracing computation in health-related fields. As in the first edition, it includes many worked example programs in Common LISP, the most powerful and accessible modern language for advanced biomedical concept representation and manipulation. The text also includes humor, history, and anecdotal material to balance the mathematically and computationally intensive development in many of the topic areas. The emphasis, as in the first edition, is on ideas and methods that are likely to be of lasting value, not just the popular topics of the day.
