This paper presents a framework for knowledge management in software development. The dimensions of the framework are drawn from organization theory. Therefore, it allows for a systematic comparison of knowledge management activities in different companies. By applying established theories from various disciplines, two basic forms of knowledge management can be derived from this framework. The ...

DataLab-J is a software signal and image processing laboratory which has proved effective both as an educational “workbench” and in practical operational use. It requires: a pedagogical tool, a research environment, and a fully operational data analysis system, i.e. it is used not only in undergraduate engineering courses, but in graduate study and general research. The system must be easily ex...

Our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms which regulate cellular processes such as vesicular trafficking has been enabled by conventional biochemical and microscopy techniques. However, these methods often obscure the heterogeneity of the cellular environment, thus precluding a quantitative assessment of the molecular interactions regulating these processes. Herein, we present Mole...

The analysis of three-dimensional structures of tissues and cellular constituents is a fundamental task in Biology and Medicine. Although three-dimensional images, acquired by light microscopes, play an important role in such knowledge domains, their analysis has not been much exploited compared to other imaging technologies, such as X-ray radiography, computerized tomography or magnetic resona...

Our research group [1] is doing research in the field of visual programming. We are interested in threedimensional visual programming environment in particular. The conventional visual programming systems mainly focused on two-dimensional pictorial programming. A big problem is that two-dimensional visual programming systems fail to manage a lot of pictorial programming elements. This paper pro...

The process of 3D freehand ultrasound acquisition consists of two steps: scanning and reconstruction. Prior to scanning, a position sensor is attached to the probe for tagging each image with its position and orientation in space. A crucial step prior to reconstruction and visualization is calibration of the ultrasound probe with the attached position sensor, i.e. determining the position and o...

Colloidal self-assembly into highly ordered binary systems represents a versatile and inexpensive approach to generate well defined surface topographical features with submicron resolution. In addition, the use of surface-functionalized particles where each particle bears a different surface functionality enables the generation of highly resolved surface chemical patterns. Such topographical, a...

This paper describes methods and results archived by our research group at the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF’2009). In our work we concentrated on the medical image retrieval task. All the attention was given to the retrieval based on nine visual topics only. No textual information was considered. Our goal was to develop and comparatively assess image descriptors for content based retri...
