OBJECTIVES To review recent research efforts in the field of ubiquitous computing in health care. To identify current research trends and further challenges for medical informatics. METHODS Analysis of the contents of the Yearbook on Medical Informatics 2005 of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA). RESULTS The Yearbook of Medical Informatics 2005 includes 34 original pap...

Despite all standardization efforts, medical diagnosis is still considered an art. Much of this status is owed to the fact that medical diagnosis requires a proficiency in coping with uncertainty simply not found in today's computing machinery. Offering a generic and powerful framework for the remodelling of existing systems and the paradigms they are based on, fuzzy set theory promises to be a...

background and purpose: internship, undergraduate clerkships, is the last stage of training for medical students in iran during which they work as medical doctors under supervision of academic staff for 1.5 years. we assessed the validity of students’ scores in internship in one of the paramount medical universities in iran. methods: in an historical cohort study, we collected the medical stude...

Cloud computing and its related virtualization technologies have become one of dominant trends to deploy software, compute difficult problems, store different types of data, and stream realtime video and audio. Due to its benefits from cost-efficiency and scalability to maintain server solutions, many organizations are migrating their server applications running on physical servers to virtual s...

Parallel computing is a topic of interest for a broad scientific community since it facilitates many time-consuming algorithms in different application domains.In this paper, we introduce a novel platform for parallel computing by using MPI and OpenMP programming languages based on set of networked PCs. UMZHPC is a free Linux-based parallel computing infrastructure that has been developed to cr...
