Computational grids are believed to be the ultimate framework to meet the growing computational needs of the scientific community. Here, the processing power of geographically distributed resources working under different ownerships, having their own access policy, cost structure and the likes, is logically coupled to make them perform as a unified resource. The continuous increase of availabil...

In this paper we test the hypothesis that a domain reference ontology of the electrocardiogram (ECG) can be employed in an effective manner to achieve semantic integration between ECG data standards. Several standardization initiatives, namely AHA/MIT-BIH (Physionet), SCP-ECG and HL7 aECG, have led to heterogeneous conceptualizations of the ECG domain. We then argue that a shared anchor, the bi...

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein webbasiertes Serious Game, das Studierenden in medizinischen Studiengängen die Möglichkeit gibt, Arzt-PatientenGespräche in Form von Rollenspielen mit simulierten Patienten selbständig und systematisch zu trainieren. Der Phase der Immersion (Rollenspiel) folgt dabei eine Phase der distanzierten Reflexion, um den lernförderlichen Perspektivenwechsel zu unterstützen...

Training to learn the use and maintenance of biomedical devices have various constraints. In order to complete these trainings, we proposed to use virtual reality based on pedagogical scenarios and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). In this paper, we first established the existing pedagogical scenario models and ITS. Subsequently we presented our proposal of a formal model based on the concept...

Während einer neurochirurgischen Intervention muss es dem Operateur möglich sein diagnostische Bilder zu aktualisieren. Bei dem hier verwendeten neurochirurgischen Mikroskop können diagnostische Bilder als virtuelle Modelle und Schnittbilder eingeblendet werden, um einen Sichtwechsel zwischen Patient und externen Bildschirmen zu vermeiden. Um eine intraoperative Aktualisierung der Modelle zu er...

The goal of this project is to develop a set of notations appropriate to the orientation of the development of a pattern which contains basic requirements for the acquisitz-on of a successful electronic trade site, utiLz.zing a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), to optimz.ze the qualz"ty of implantation and innz.ngs of this site. The approach proposed seeks to contribute so that our busin...
