Tools to discover and co-design ideal care experiences

Can Computers Discover Ideal Knots?

Co-clustering directed graphs to discover asymmetries and directional communities.

In directed graphs, relationships are asymmetric and these asymmetries contain essential structural information about the graph. Directed relationships lead to a new type of clustering that is not feasible in undirected graphs. We propose a spectral co-clustering algorithm called di-sim for asymmetry discovery and directional clustering. A Stochastic co-Blockmodel is introduced to show favorabl...

Experiences and Tools

Human communication is one of the most complex social activity: it is a process of meaning construction which cooperatively involves all participants taking part in the interaction. Various clinical conditions may lead to impairments of communicative abilities: developmental disorders (e.g., autism, specific language impairment, Down syndrome), brain pathologies (e.g., closed head injury, right...

Practical Experiences with Standard-Cell Based Datapath Design Tools

Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test circuits. Algorithmic generation of netlists and of relative cell placement can help reducing area but, contrary to common belief, appears often detrimental to speed. Extraction of regularity from synthesized netlists is...

Co-design in specialist care - aspects to consider

Co-design workshops are a way to stimulate collective idea generation between designers and non-designers. Service design and co-design techniques are increasingly applied in health-care contexts. The application of co-design methods in projects on health-care services requires careful preparation, as health-care contexts are complex. By describing the process of preparing and facilitating a co...
