Handling Criminal Appeals through an Integrated, Computerised Case Management System

This paper traces the development of a criminal case management system for legal aid funded appeals litigation in a Glasgow based law practice, funded in part by the Teaching Companies Scheme. It attempts to place this development in the context of the general trend towards the deployment of such IT solutions to legal problems in a fast-changing environment (Susskind 1998) and, more particularl...

Towards Automatic Image Analysis for Computerised Mammography

Mammographic screening is an effective way to detect breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer depends to a high degree on the adequacy of the mammogram from which the diagnosis is made. Today, most of the analysis of the mammogram is performed by radiologists. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been proposed as an aid to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the screening...

Quantitation in inflammatory bowel disease using computerised interactive image analysis.

Objective measurements of various histological features in rectal biopsy material were made using computerised interactive image analysis. Analysis of the resulting data by forward stepwise discriminant analysis showed that biopsies from patients with ulcerative colitis and infective diarrhoea could be distinguished from each other and from normal biopsies; they could not, however, be distingui...

Image Data Handling in Spatial Databases

The recent advances in database technology have enabled the development of a new generation of spatial databases, where the DBMS is able to manage spatial and non-spatial data types together. Most spatial databases can deal with vector geometries (e.g., polygons, lines and points), but have limited facilities for handling image data. However, the widespread availability of high-resolution remot...
