Objective To develop and evaluate a pharmacogenomics information resource for pharmacists. Materials and Methods We built a pharmacogenomics information resource presenting Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug product labelling information, refined it based on feedback from pharmacists, and conducted a comparative usability evaluation, measuring task completion time, task correctness and p...

In this paper, we add predictable and resource efficient event-triggered tasks in an RTOS. This is done by introducing an execution model suitable for example control software and component-based software. The execution model, denoted single-shot execution (SSX), can be realized with very simple and resource efficient run-time mechanisms and is highly predictable, hence suitable for use in reso...

A coordinate plane representation of the resource requirements of digital modulation methods is presented, and an overall resource efficiency measure is proposed. This measure can be used for the comparison of digital modulation methods and the evaluation of an emerging modulation technique. Several typical digital modulation methods are compared based on this measure to show its validity. key ...

This article examines the complexity of resource-allocation decisions for resource-constrained project scheduling. The allocation decisions are modeled by means of precedence networks and are closely related to ES-policies, which are a type of scheduling policies introduced for stochastic scheduling. We find that even a number of ‘surrogate’ objective functions, whose use has recently been prop...

Offering Grid services in an open market determines an optimization case for finding the best suitable resource allocation for a given number of requests and existing resources. Thus, appropriate resource allocation schemes, supporting accounting, are required in addition to a pricing scheme, which supports financial fairness criteria. The newly developed Resource Allocation Model Developed for...

Land evaluation is the process of predicting the use potential of land on the basis of its attributes. A variety of analytical models can be used in these predictions, ranging from qualitative to quantitative, functional to mechanistic, and specific to general. This paper classifies land evaluation models by how they take time and space into account, and whether they use land qualities as an in...

We present a novel approach to a relational database machine for processing knowledge bases. This approach is based on functional programming concepts in order to manage processor resources and memory resources with the theoretical neatness of functional computation. By using demand-driven evaluation as a driving method of functional. computation, parallelism can be exploited in executing relat...

This paper presents EASY (Evaluation of Analyzers of SYntax), an ongoing evaluation campaign of syntactic parsing of French, a subproject of EVALDA in the French TECHNOLANGUE program. After presenting the elaboration of the annotation formalism, we describe the corpus building steps, the annotation tools, the evaluation measures and finally, plans to produce a validated large linguistic resourc...
