this paper argues that commercial forces have steadily encroached into our understanding of medicine and health in modern industrial societies. the impact on the delivery of personal medical services and on common ideas about food and nutrition is profound and largely deleterious to public health. a key component of commercialization is reductionism of medical services, health products and nutr...

Enhancing the speed and competition in an exhibition of services and products motivated the companies to provide high-quality products to the customers. One of the effective strategies to reach these goals is to create working groups. These groups can help the companies to improve the quality and exposure of their services along with reducing the costs. This approach is applicable in the health...

Configuration systems are key tools in the sales of complex services and products because they support the dynamic generation of solutions. However, such systems, typically designed for expert users, are too technical for the average customer of a Web store. As a solution to this issue, we present a model for the integration of Intelligent User Interfaces and Configuration techniques. This mode...

to make them geometrically interoperable with datasets of a higher absolute positional accuracy. To date most PAI programs were implemented as coordinated programs. These programs usually focused on the improvement of a particular dataset and were focused on the individual requirements for geometric interoperability of this dataset with those of a higher positional accuracy. In the future the d...

Context matching algorithms automatically discover semantic relations between two autonomously developed conceptual representations of two overlapping domains. Although significant work has been carried on the theoretical ground, the empirical evaluation of matching algorithms is still an open area for research. In this paper we introduce CTXMATCH, a matching algorithm which applies to symbolic...
