However, health care professionals still face difficulties to recover and select relevant data. Although literature has investigated the influence of lexical, syntactical and semantic parameters in information retrieval techniques, few studies explore intentions as explicit users' actions in information recovery. This article studies means of considering intentions in search engines. We define a method with an original algorithm to properly rank search results from a set of electronical health records. This investigation relies on well-established theories to categorize several types of intentions. The proposed technique is based on knowledge representation models for annotating meanings and intentions in medical records. Achieved results are illustrated in scenarios based on real medical cases.","PeriodicalId":319817,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"282 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113992654","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}

Existing LOD-based semantic similarity approaches attach compared data (terms or concepts) to LOD resources to exploit their semantic descriptions and relationships with other resources and estimate the degree of overlap between resources. Current approaches suffer from two limitations: they focus on the analysis of links between resources and ignore the important taxonomic structure of concepts and categories used to describe resources. On the other hand, they do not exploit interlinks between LOD resources in order to enrich data used to compute the similarity score. In this paper, we overcome the above limitations by proposing a new LOD-based similarity measure based on the combination of ontological, classification and property dimensions of LOD resources.","PeriodicalId":319817,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122950617","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 adoption of Business Process Management (BPM) practices is thus becoming a key enabler for the improvement of healthcare processes (HPs). Accordingly, methods and tools are required to address behavioral and performance aspects from the early phases of the process lifecycle in order to improve the quality of healthcare, reduce costly reworks and increase the effectiveness of BPM approaches. This paper specifically addresses the specification and analysis phases of the process lifecycle and introduces a model-driven method for healthcare process simulation. The proposed method is based on a model transformation approach that takes as input the process specification in BPMN, appropriately extended to include the performance properties of the process, and yields as output the corresponding process simulation code, ready to be executed. In order to illustrate the method and its effectiveness, the paper describes an example application to a process dealing with the hip fracture for elderly patients.","PeriodicalId":319817,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117115966","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 exploit the derived amount of data, new innovative algorithms must be employed or the established ones maybe changed. One of the most fascinating and productive techniques, in order to locate and extract information from data repositories is clustering, and DBSCAN is a successful density based algorithm which clusters data according its characteristics. However, its main disadvantage is its severe computational complexity which proves the technique very inadequate to apply on big datasets. Although DBSCAN is a very well studied technique, a fully operational parallel version of it, has not been accepted yet by the scientific community. In this work, a three phase parallel version of DBSCAN is presented. The obtained experimental results are very promising and prove the correctness, the scalability, and the effectiveness of the technique.","PeriodicalId":319817,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 25th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114233616","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}

This paper introduces DACCOSIM parallel and distributed architecture, and our strategies to achieve efficient multi-simulation graph distribution on multi-core clusters. Some performance experiments on two clusters, running up to 81 simulation components (FMU) and using up to 16 multi-core computing nodes, are shown.

This methodology provides a correct by design approach for the description of multi-scale architectures. It is based on a rule-oriented refinement process ensuring the transitions between scales. In fact, a first scale is defined by the designer. Then, it is refined by successively adding lower scale details. The applied rules respect the system constraints ensuring the correctness of the obtained scale architectures. Furthermore, we deal with the dynamic aspect of multi-scale systems by providing model-based rules of reconfigurations.
