Mobile electronic commerce (m-commerce) is an emerging manifestation of internet electronic commerce that bridges the domains of Internet, mobile computing and wireless telecommunications in order to provide an array of sophisticated services (m-services) to mobile users. To date, much of the research in the area has concentrated on the problem of service discovery. However, once a service has ...

The context in which preference information is gathered from users is recognised as one of the important factors in generating user models. Much research has been carried out into sensing and recording the physical and environmental contexts of user interactions, and it was shown that these affect the derived user modelling data. In this talk we introduce a new facet of context called a Reasoni...

Application of data mining techniques to the World Wide Web, referred to as Web mining, has been the focus of several recent research projects and papers. However, there is n o established vocabulary, leading to confusion when comparing research efforts. The t e r m W e b mining has been used in two distinct ways. T h e first, called Web content mining in this paper, is the process of informati...

High-content imaging is a rapidly growing field that has shown great potential in all phases of the drug discovery process.1 Recently, high-content imaging has expanded to become a more widely used basic research tool. At the same time, applications of high-content imaging have broadened in scope, showing utility in systems biology, siRNA screening, and in other functional genomics and proteomi...

In the age of information overload, collaborative filtering and recommender systems have become essential tools for content discovery. The advent of online social networks has added another approach to recommendation whereby the social network itself is used as a source for recommendations i.e. users are recommended items that are preferred by their friends. In this paper we develop a new model...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques allow users with limited resources to distribute content to a potentially large audience by turning passive clients into peers. Peers can self-organize to distribute content to each other, increasing the scalability of the system and decreasing the publisher’s costs, compared to a publisher distributing the data himself using a content delivery network (CDN) or his...

Service-oriented Mobile Social Network in Proximity (MSNP) lets participants establish new social interactions with strangers in public proximity using heterogeneous platforms and devices. Such characteristic faces challenges in discovery latency and trustworthiness. In a public service-oriented MSNP environment, which consists of a large number of participants, a content requester who searches...

despite diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic advances, growing incidence of cancer and high rate of mortality among patients affected by specific cancer types indicate current clinical measures are not ideally useful in eradicating cancer. chemoresistance and subsequent disease relapse are believed to be mainly driven by the cell-molecular heterogeneity of human tumors that necessitates perso...

the rapid growing of information technology (it) motivates and makes competitive advantages in health care industry. nowadays, many hospitals try to build a successful customer relationship management (crm) to recognize target and potential patients, increase patient loyalty and satisfaction and finally maximize their profitability. many hospitals have large data warehouses containing customer ...
