Age of human can be inferred by distinct patterns emerging from the facial appearance. Humans can easily distinguish which person is elder and which is older between two persons. When inferring a person’s age, the comparison is done with his/her face and with many people whose ages are known, resulting in a series of comparative series, and then judgment is done based on the comparisons. The co...

Telehealth holds the promise of improved consistency and fast and equal access to care, and will have great impact on future care. To enhance its quality and safety, computerized decision support systems (CDSS) have been launched. This commentary focuses specifically on the impact of telehealth and CDSS on diabetes patient management. Ideally, clinical information should be linked to evidence b...

In the maximum soft margin SVM formulation, penalty is given to each misclassified example, and the influence of the penalty is adjusted by some parameter, say, D. In this paper, based on the geometrical interpretation of this parameter D given in [BB00], we propose a criterion for D and provide an algorithmic way to determine D under this criterion.

Risk Management is an essential process of construction project planning. When a risk event occurs during project execution, the required actions are taken by project managers using their own experience and knowledge. While knowledge and experience gained in past projects is very useful in identifying and managing risks in a new project, such information resides primarily in Project Managers’ m...

Current implementation techniques constrain our ability to rapidly deploy and augment clinical decision support systems at Partners Healthcare Systems. We report on the use of a commercially-available rule engine system-iLog Rules-as the basis for a series of prototypes typifying Partners decision support applications. For three prototypical systems, we successfully decoupled the decision suppo...

Customer’s behavior and satisfaction are always play important role to increase organization’s growth and market value. Customers are on top priority for the growing organization to build up their businesses. In this paper presents the architecture of Decision Support Systems (DSS) in connection to deal with the customer’s enquiries and requests. Main purpose behind the proposed model is to enh...

Extensions to Prolog that offer the user portable Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), transparent access to foreign databases, and scalable performance are presented. These extensions have been implemented on top of standard Prolog and can be shown to provide a powerful level of abstraction that ultimately leads to reduced costs and better return on investment for Decision Support (DS) applications.

The evaluation of the performance of any information system is important for the further improvement of that system. This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) evaluation method based on multiple-criteria techniques within a multiple-constituency perspective. With multiple-constituency DSS evaluation, many criteria may be valuable to a particular group of stakeholders, whilst others ma...

One of the proposals for improving clinical practice is to introduce computerised decision support systems (CDSS) and integrate these with electronic medical records. Accordingly, this study sought to systematically review evidence on the effectiveness of CDSS in the management of depression. A search was performed in Medline, EMBASE and PsycInfo, in order to do this. The quality of quantitativ...
