Apart from the traditional uses of computing in the fields of music and musicology, human-computer systems are emerging in reaction to this tradition, which is already effective, though still young. Whereas these unique systems operate in the usual fields of music's expansion, they cannot be systematically referred to known musicological categories. On the contrary, the experiments made possibl...

Awareness of the need for business analysis has grown faster than the evolution of tools to support collaborative development of business analysis models. Involvement of key personnel is important for model accuracy and buy-in, which is not trivial, especially if they are distributed geographically. Traditionally, models have been developed by individuals or small groups because of the complexi...

Modern education is hard to imagine without the use of e-learning tools, but still the transition from traditional “paper-and-pencil” examining to electronic exams is to some extent cautious. Although course administration and exam evaluation are much easier with learning management systems, there are concerns among teaching staff, that electronic tests simplify examination process compared to ...

Communication failures during physician handoffs represent a significant source of preventable adverse events. Computerized sign-out tools linked to hospital electronic medical record systems and customized for neonatal care can facilitate standardization of the handoff process and access to clinical information, thereby improving communication and reducing adverse events. It is important to no...
