We present an approach for designing a literate programming tool that, in addition to covering the technical issues, especially targets the acceptance of the documentation system by the program developer. We then describe the DosfOp documentation system for the Opal language, which was developed in line with these design principles. Finally, we discuss experiences with the system from a user's ...

A documentation of a C++ implementation of ACS2, the current state-of-the-art of the anticipatory learning classiier system ACS, is provided. The documentation explains how to get started with the code. A detailed overview of the structure of the code and of all possible parameter manipulations are given. Input and Output interfaces are revealed. Finally, the documentation exhibits how to run A...

The product knowledge manager (PKM) is a multiphase knowledge base system developed to aid in the life-cycle management of electronic products at Boeing Aerospace and Electronics. Numerous pieces of documentation (including source control drawings, fabrication drawings, acceptance test procedures, qualification test procedures) are required for nearly every electronic product developed by Boein...

This study examines electronic medical records (EMRs) applied within the hospital environment to monitor, measure, and improve perioperative workflow and patient care documentation. This paper identifies how dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis, applied to internal and external organizational data, can highlight complex relationships within integrated hospital...

The evaluation of research beyond scientific impact is increasingly required, but has not yet been widely applied. One reason is that data necessary for the evaluation of the societal impact of science are often not available in sufficient quantities or suitable form. This paper describes first results from a research project that develops improved documentation to serve evaluation beyond scien...

background: the aim of present study was to determine the quality of nursing documents in medical-surgical wards and factors affected this quality. methods: in this descriptive study the quality of nurses' documents in medical-surgical wards of teaching hospitals related to tabriz university of medical sciences was assessed. for data gathering, four checklists assessed four parts of nursing doc...

background and objectives: many iranian public hospitals are faced with serious financial challenges such as shortage of income and heavy debts. nevertheless, many of the healthcare services are often remained unearned for not being included in the clinical records or patient bill, resulting in considerable loss of legitimate hospital in­come. given the limited studies in this area in iran, the...

During system testing, determining if the observed behaviour of a real–time system is consistent with its requirements specification can be difficult. I propose that a system to check the behaviour against the specification, a monitor, be automatically derived from the requirements documentation. The monitor would model the system requirements as a modified finite state automaton in which the s...

Design: We introduced a computer-based nursing documentation system on four wards of the University Hospitals of Heidelberg and systematically evaluated its preconditions and its effects in a pretest–posttest intervention study. For the analysis of user acceptance, we concentrated on subjective data drawn from questionnaires and interviews. Measurements: A questionnaire was developed using item...

A major problem in software maintenance and reverse engineering is the lack of documentation that represents the actual state of the application source code. When a software product needs to be updated to fix bugs, add new functionality, or ported to other system, usually developers find themselves with documentation that does not reflect the actual state of the application (and the source code...
