As wireless communication systems become more and more pervasive, demand for spectrum is following an ever increasing trend. At the same time, studies conducted by governmental bodies show that a considerable part of the allocated spectrum is underutilized. This paper aims to design and develop a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme from a comprehensive perspective including sensing, communicati...

In 2012, the AMIA Board of Directors issued a white paper which defined biomedical informatics 1 and noted that '…iden-tifying new competency areas on an ongoing basis is especially important for a field that is rapidly changing in both its inform-atics and its biomedical and health aspects.' With the advent of the new medical board certification in Clinical Informatics and our efforts to devel...

Recently, we gave a new perspective of Web Intelligence (WI) research from the viewpoint of Brain Informatics (BI), a new interdisciplinary field that studies the mechanisms of human information processing from both the macro and micro viewpoints by combining experimental cognitive neuroscience with advanced information technology [18]. We argue that new instruments like fMRI and information te...

A cognitive robot is an autonomous robot that is capable of inference, perception, and learning mimicking the cognitive mechanisms of the brain. The underpinning technologies for cognitive robots are the cognitive knowledge base (CKB) and the cognitive learning engine (CLE). This paper explores the cognitive foundations and denotational mathematical means of CLE and CKB for cognitive robotics. ...

Software is the best human brain creativity which provides the reusability of computer applications. The spiral model is a software development process with unique set of activities for risk perception. In this paper an attempt has been made to frame cognitive spiral software development model by a comprehensive set of informatics and cognitive properties for analysis of risk. In this model we ...

The development of brain science has led to a vast increase of brain data. To meet requirements of a systematic methodology of Brain Informatics (BI), this talk presents a new conceptual model of brain data, namely Data-Brain, which explicitly represents various relationships among multiple human brain data sources, with respect to all major aspects and capabilities of human information process...

background: the existing models of information technology in health sciences have full scope of betterment and extension. the high demand pressures, public expectations, advanced platforms all collectively contribute towards hospital environment, which has to be kept in kind while designing of advanced technological ecosystem for information technology. moreover, for the smooth conduct and oper...

On the basis of a study by the Institute of Medicine, the current health care system is facing several challenges that may be addressed by changes in health professions education. The study focused on integration of five core competencies into health professions education, one of which was informatics. This critical analysis investigates current use of technology and online instructional strate...

The applicants are members of the Mathematical Reasoning Group (mrg), which is part of the Centre for Intelligent Systems and their Applications within the Division of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. The Division of Informatics was one of only six computing departments in UK to have obtained a 5* ranking in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. It returned the highest number of res...
