In most developed countries the ageing population is placing a severe strain on health systems and national budgets. In meeting this challenge, e-Health initiatives seek medically-focused ICT solutions for improved health services that enable senior citizens to remain living at home longer. A literature review and interviews with health-care providers reveal that significant factors affecting t...

The organic building-out of energy systems with a simple computer model 32 Note: The abstracts have been processed automatically using the abstract forms e-mailed by the authors. Only one substantive type of modification has been applied, i.e., in a few cases the co-author has been named first, if only he/she will participate in the Workshop.

Ecological resilience, adaptive cycles, and panarchy are all concepts that have been developed to explain abrupt and often surprising changes in complex socio-ecological systems that are prone to disturbances. These types of changes involve qualitative and quantitative alterations in systems’ structures and processes. This paper uses the concepts of ecological resilience, adaptive cycles, and p...

We review and compare recent approaches to community structure identification. Definitions of communities are revisited, as well as the recently proposed modularity measure. We then classify the various methods into link removal methods, agglomerative methods, methods based on optimising the modularity measure, spectral methods and others. Finally, the performance of the methods, as applied to ...

The Complex Scaling Method (CSM) provides scattering wave functions which regularize resonances and suggest a resolution of the identity in terms of such resonances, completed by the bound states and a smoothed continuum. But, in the case of inelastic scattering with many channels, the existence of such a resolution under complex scaling is still debated. Taking advantage of results obtained ea...

The Internet has spurred a phenomenal growth of virtual communities (VC). VCs can range from simple information exchange based forums to more complex networks supporting new product development. For example, communities of interest based forums such as investment-related Virtual Communities bring together individuals interested in exchanging information about stocks while online production comm...

Community structures widely exist in various complex networks. It is important to understand the effects of having community structures in real-life systems. In this work, we discuss on the effects of community structures on infection control in complex networks. Specifically, we investigate the case where there exists link rewiring in adaptive networks for isolating the infected nodes. Our res...

The unprecedented quantity and complexity of genotype-­‐phenotype (G2P) data currently being generated by research and diagnostic labs worldwide, together with a shift toward online data dissemination and collaborative work patterns, has spawned the need for new data handling, integration and online community workspace tools. To tackle data handling issues, the GEN2PHEN Project has spearheaded ...
