Publish/subscribe infrastructures, specifically event notification services, are used as the basic communication and integration framework in many application domains. The majority of these services, however, provide poor or no extension mechanisms as well as insufficient configuration capabilities. As a consequence, different event notification servers have been developed previously to support...

Background: Computerized preventive screening software is a cost effective intervention tool to address non-communicable chronic diseases. Shiraz Smart Screening Software (SSSS) was developed as an innovative tool for qualified screening. It allows simultaneous smart screening of several high-burden chronic diseases and supports reminder notification functionality. The extent in which SSSS affe...

Through an examination of the emerging domain of cognitive systems, with a focus on attention-centric cognitive systems used for notification, this document explores the human-computer interaction challenges that must be addressed for successful interface design. This document asserts that with compatible tools and methods, user notification requirements and interface usability can be abstracte...

Organizations increasingly depend on virtual teams, in which interaction and collaboration takes place among geographically-distributed, and often culturally-disparate individuals. Often these teams are globally dispersed, following the patterns created by multinational firms, global alliances, and international trade. Yet, it is by no means guaranteed that virtual teams will be a success, and ...

This paper presents AREA, an integrated synchronous and asynchronous notification service for awareness information. AREA uses a semantic model of the client applications to support cross-application awareness. The service is based on the dichotomy of interest and privacy Notifications of user activities are a function of relevance in the current work situation and the privacy requirements of t...

Greenstone is a software for creating and maintaining distributed digital library collections. It provides a sophisticated federation mechanism for the collections. In order to support alerting notification about changes in the distributed collections, we propose a distributed directory service for the management of the distributed Greenstone installations. The Greenstone directory service (GDS...

Automation of spacecraft operations can provide a substantial reduction in ground support and program costs. Here, we develop an autonomous spacecraft telemetry processing system consisting of an off-line architecture for the generation and analysis of learned patterns in the telemetry stream and an on-line mechanism for automated event and alert notification. Our system draws on the embedded k...
