Linking a clinical system to heterogeneous information resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a model for providing clinical information system (CIS) users with quick access to high quality information resources. We have developed a chest X-ray information button application which is attached to the chest X-ray reports in the CIS at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. The application generates questions based on clinical information, user interest, generic question templates, and resource availability. It then provides answers to the questions through integrated access to heterogeneous information resources including the CIS itself and publicly accessible Web resources.

An Approach to Interoperable Object Models
Future information processing environments will consist of a vast network of heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed (HAD) computing resources (hardware, programs, and data). There is increasing agreement that modeling such a system as a distributed collection of objects provides the appropriate framework for integrating HAD resources, in both distributed computing and telecommunications env...
متن کاملMatchmaking in the Abels System for Linking Distributed Simulations
Large-scale simulations often need dynamic access to heterogeneous data resources such as sensors, databases, or other simulations. The Agent-Based Environment for Linking Simulations (ABELS) is designed to facilitate the dynamic formation of a “cloud” of independent simulations and other data resources for the exchange of information. Participants in the data and simulation cloud join and exit...

متن کاملThe Abels System: Designing an Adaptable Interface for Linking Simulations
We have developed a framework for using software agent technology for linking distributed simulations and other data resources. The Agent-Based Environment for Linking Simulations (ABELS) framework uses software agents to coordinate distributed simulations, communicate data efficiently between simulations, and retrieve data from other sources such as sensors and datasets. ABELS allows simulatio...
متن کاملA novel key management scheme for heterogeneous sensor networks based on the position of nodes
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...
