A dramatic increase in mean life span and life expectancy, coupled with a significant reduction in early mortality, has lead to a large increase in number of elderly people in modern societies. This demographic phenomenon has been paralleled by an epidemic of chronic diseases associated with advancing age. Both innate and instructive immunity are implicated in almost all age-related diseases. The modifications of the immune system in the elderly are evaluated as a deterioration of the immune system, the so-called immunosenescence, which is thought to be mostly the result of the declining effectiveness of T cells and it is responsible for the increased susceptibility of elderly to infectious…
A Methodology for Graphical Modeling of Business Rules

Moreover, this work proposes a web graphical editor, instantiated on a specific sample scenario, where the selected rule engine is Drools, one of the most used open source products. The developed editor allows business analysts…
