The paper presents a platform for performing proper medical content adaptation based on context awareness. Sensors are used in order to determine the status of a patient being monitored through a medical network. Additional contextual information regarding the patient¿s environment (e.g., location, data transmission device and underlying network conditions, etc.) are represented through an ontological knowledge base model. Rule-based evaluation determines proper content (i.e., biosignals, medical video and audio) coding and transmission of medical data, in order to optimize the telemedicine process. The paper discusses the design of the ontological model and provides an initial assessment.","PeriodicalId":292389,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131974689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main difference from a typical health home is that nursing homes are using new technologies and applications in order to collect data from elderly people and create an electronic file for each elderly people. The basic idea of this paper is to use a web application and tablet PC or PDA in order to collect people¿s both personal information and clinical characteristics.

Local context analysis (LCA) is an automated query expansion method that adds concepts to the original query based on the initial retrieval using the original query. In our previous works we attempted to tune this method for Farsi language by manipulating three parameters which are number of concepts used for query expansion, number of initially retrieved documents for local feedback and number of passages for concept discovery and weighting. In this paper we seek to further customize this method for Farsi information retrieval. To compare our work to the previous attempts we have used Hamshahri collection and 60. We have experimented with different number of concepts and have also changed the concept weighting algorithm to improve retrieval performance.","PeriodicalId":292389,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115123205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To avoid the confrontation with the semantic gap several approaches restrict the image dataset to web images. Web images mostly appear on websites with other text contents which can deliver important information about the image semantics. Popular image search engines use text contents surrounding the image to generate annotation keywords. Also emphasized text contents like headlines are assumed to be important description providers. Otherwise we discover false positive results in high ranking positions of this search engines which are the effect of incorrect text-to-image mappings. This paper addresses the problem of finding correct matches between text elements and images in HTML-documents by extending the DOM model tree of a web-page to a 2-dimensional object model (2-DOM) tree. This model adapts to the two dimensional manner of web documents and thus allows a better mapping of text articles to images. The evaluation results show that with a precision over 90 percent text articles are well assigned to web images. This leads intuitive to better textual information about the presented events on the images and thus yields to a better image retrieval quality in querying-by-keyword scenarios.","PeriodicalId":292389,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115041326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data that reflects user preferences and likings, comprising therefore a user profile, are gathered to an adaptive web site in a non transparent manner. This situation however raises serious privacy concerns to the end user. When browsing aweb site, users are not aware of several important privacy parameters i.e., which behavior will be monitored and logged, how it will be processed, how long it will be kept, and with whom it will be shared in the long run. In this paper we propose an abstract architecture that enhances user privacy during interaction with adaptive web sites. This architecture enables users to create and update their personal privacy preferences for the adaptive web sites they visit by holding their (user) profiles in the client side instead of the server side. By doing so users will be able to self-confine the personalization experience the adaptive sites offer, thus enhancing privacy.","PeriodicalId":292389,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116090543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we define \"ontology application context'' which allows us to separate the parts of the ontology that are general from those that need to be altered to fit a specific application's needs.
