The CancerGrid experience: Metadata-based model-driven engineering for clinical trials
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CancerGrid approach to software support for clinical trials is based on two principles: careful curation of semantic metadata about clinical observations, to enable subsequent data integration, and model-driven generation of trialspecific software artifacts from a trial protocol, to streamline the software development process. This paper explains the approach, presents four varied case studies, and discusses the lessons learned.

Cross-Trial Query System for Cancer Clinical Trials
Data sharing represents one of the key objectives and major challenges of today’s cancer research. CancerGrid, a consortium of clinicians, cancer researchers, computational biologists and software engineers from leading UK institutions, is developing open-standards cancer informatics addressing this challenge. The CancerGrid solution involves the representation of a widely accepted clinical tri...
متن کاملMetadata Enrichment for Automatic Data Entry Based on Relational Data Models
The idea of automatic generation of data entry forms based on data relational models is a common and known idea that has been discussed day by day more than before according to the popularity of agile methods in software development accompanying development of programming tools. One of the requirements of the automation methods, whether in commercial products or the relevant research projects, ...
متن کاملForm Follows Function - Model-Driven Engineering for Clinical Trials
We argue that, for certain constrained domains, elaborate model transformation technologies—implemented from scratch in generalpurpose programming languages—are unnecessary for model-driven engineering; instead, lightweight configuration of commercial off-the-shelf productivity tools suffices. In particular, in the CancerGrid project, we have been developing model-driven techniques for the gene...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic Based Life Estimation of PWM Driven Induction Motors
Pulse-width modulated (PWM) adjustable frequency drives (AFDs) are extensively used in industries for control of induction motors. It has led to significant advantages in terms of the performance, size, and efficiency but the output voltage waveform no longer remains sinusoidal. Hence, overshoots, high rate of rise, harmonics and transients are observed in the voltage wave. They increase voltag...
