BACKGROUND For many healthcare decisions, multiple alternatives are available with different combinations of advantages and disadvantages across several important dimensions. The complexity of current healthcare decisions thus presents a significant barrier to informed decision making, a key element of patient-centered care.Interactive decision dashboards were developed to facilitate decision m...

PURPOSE This study aims to explore the biomechanical mechanism of lower limb injuries to the driver by establishing a finite element (FE) simulation model of collisions. METHODS First a minibus FE model was integrated with a seat belt system. Then it was used to rebuild two collisions together with the total human model for safety (THUMS) provided by Toyota Motor Corporation: a rear-end colli...

There is an emerging consensus in the scientific software community that progress in scientific research is dependent on the “quality and accessibility of software at all levels” [1]. This progress depends on embracing the best traditional—and emergent—practices in software engineering, especially agile practices that intersect with the more formal tradition of software engineering. As a first ...

Interactive data visualization is a transformational technique that can turn raw data into immersive insights extraction. In this study, an interactive dashboard that visualizes raw aggregated data is developed to identify energy usage patterns in an office building environment. The main goal is to highlight high consumptions patterns, estimate costs and savings, and recommend energy saving str...

The goal of this work is to classify the focus of attention of a subject who is switching his or her attention between a number of surrounding objects. The speci c application is to classify the focus of attention of a car driver as straight-ahead, towards the rear-view mirror, towards the dashboard etc. An explicit quantitative approach to this problem requires (a) a priori information about t...

Cobus ist ein Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Debeka Versicherungs-gruppe und der Universität Koblenz-Landau. Ziel des Projekts ist die Sicherstellung der Wartbarkeit und der Zukunftsfähigkeit des COBOL-Kernsystems der Debeka. In drei Arbeitsbereichen werden die interne Qualität von COBOL-Modulen erhoben, die Architektur redokumentiert, sowie daraus abgeleitete Sanierungsmaßnahmen ermit-telt. ...

Business Intelligence (BI) is a set of techniques that help improve business decision making. From a technical point of view, BI relies on a set of tools which includes performance dashboards: layered services that combine monitoring, analysis, and reporting. However, most dashboard solutions today are based on data warehouses which face a problem of data staleness—a circumstance caused by the ...

With the advancement in information technologies, complex and multidimensional data are generated at an unprecedented rate. The public health sector is challenged with complex and dynamic health data that are produced and housed in health information systems. These data impose a challenge on data analysts and decision makers to understand and make informed decisions about ‘wicked’ health proble...

Internet hosting is pivotal for reliable access to internet resources. Yet, little research has been done on what threatens a hosting service’s reliability. Our analysis of reliability threatening incidents results in four causes of unreliability: the service’s technical architecture, service employees’ motivations, their knowledge, and their behavioral repertoires when responding to incidents....
