PMC1 COLLECTING REAL DATA FROM REAL PATIENTS

Collecting data in real time with postcards

The success of information technology (IT) in transforming healthcare is often limited by the lack of clear understanding of the context at which the technology is used. Various methods have been proposed to understand healthcare context better in designing and implementing Health Information Systems. These methods often involve cross-sectional, retrospective data collection. This paper describ...

Improved Dual-Loop System for Collecting Real-Time Truck Data

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has a loop detection system on its Greater Seattle freeway network to provide real-time traffic data. The dual-loop detectors installed in the system are used to measure vehicle lengths and then classify each vehicle into one of four categories according to its length. The dual-loop’s capability of measuring vehicle length makes the WSDO...

Collecting and Visualizing Real-Time Urban Data through City Dashboards

Dashboards which collect and display real-time streamed data from a variety of rudimentary sensors positioned in the built environment provide an immediate portal for decision-makers to get some sense of their city and environment. These devices are linked to previous renditions of control and management of real time services in cities, particularly transport, in control-room like setting but t...

Garbage Collecting Reactive Real-Time Systems

As real-time systems become more complex, the need for more sophisticated runtime kernel features arises. One such feature that substantially lessens the burden of the programmer is automatic memory management, or garbage collection. However, incorporating garbage collection in a real-time kernel is not an easy task. One needs to guarantee, not only that sufficient memory will be reclaimed in o...
