This book is the second volume of the Program of Research on the Integration of Services for the Maintenance of Autonomy or PRISMA. Whereas the first book—Integrated Service Delivery to Ensure Persons’ Functional Autonomy—presented the principles of integration, the PRISMA coordination model and the preliminary assessment of its implementation, this second volume pulls together the outcomes of ...

German machine tool manufacturers were hit hard by the recession of the nineties and by increasing world wide competition. In order to regain lost market shares, production systems and products have been re-engineered and new scheduling concepts have been developed. This article describes a new Leitstand for eeective and eecient due-date scheduling.

In this paper, we describe an information synthesis interactive model (PRISMA). The user interacts with the system by means of automatically extracted key concepts lists. The model uses syntactic knowledge to identify key concepts, to organize and display the information pieces. Also, we propose, and therefore we put into practice, a corpora based methodology of interactive models evaluation. T...

We present PRISMA, a parametric calculus that can be instantiated with different interaction policies, defined as synchronization algebras with mobility of names (SAMs). We define both operational semantics and observational semantics of PRISMA, showing that the second one is compositional for any SAM. We give examples based on heterogeneous SAMs, a case study on Fusion Calculus and some simple...

INTRODUCTION PRISMA statement was published in 2009 in order to set standards in the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of PRISMA endorsement on the quality of reporting and methodological quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, published in journals in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology (GH). METHODS Quality of reporting a...

BACKGROUND The PRISMA Statement is a reporting guideline designed to improve transparency of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses. Seven extensions to the PRISMA Statement have been published to address the reporting of different types or aspects of SRs, and another eight are in development. We performed a scoping review to map the research that has been conducted to evaluate the uptake a...

A revision of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement is an important event. The PRISMA 2020 has, like its predecessor (now re-referred to as 2009), been published in multiple journals. This paper describes changes that have introduced new checklist [[1]Page MJ McKenzie JE Bossuyt PM Boutron I et al.The statement: An updated guideline reporting ...

The PLOS Medicine editors discuss the new extension to the PRISMA reporting guidelines, PRISMA for Equity (PRISMA-E), and why it is relevant to the journal and to health research more generally.
