Deployment of a WLCG network monitoring infrastructure based on the perfSONAR-PS technology
2014
The WLCG infrastructure moved from a very rigid network topology, based on the MONARC model, to a more relaxed system, where data movement between regions or countries does not necessarily need to involve T1 centres. While this evolution brought obvious advantages, especially in terms of flexibility for the LHC experiment's data management systems, it also opened the question of how to monitor the increasing number of possible network paths, in order to provide a global reliable network service. The perfSONAR network monitoring system has been evaluated and agreed as a proper solution to cover the WLCG network monitoring use cases: it allows WLCG to plan and execute latency and bandwidth te…
Data management and concurrency control in broadcast based asymmetric environments
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Tens of millions of users have personal handheld devices with several network interfaces built-in, and the number of users and of network interfaces included are only increasing. This growth suggests a need for new methods to disseminate data to multiple clients, and cyclic broadcast is one approach. We do a survey on the various data management protocols that describe how to broadcast the data, and the concurrency control protocols that make sure all access to the database is consistent. The various data management and concurrency control techniques deals with the restrictions in asymmetric broadcas…
Ontology-based personalized system to support patients at home
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Chronic diseases are incurable diseases that require long term supervision and treatments by medical professionals. The most common chronic diseases are cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes respiratory diseases and cancer. With information and communication technology many applications have been implemented to facilitate different clinical decision making process. With new technology, personalized healthcare systems are in place to enable patients with chronic diseases to acquire continuous and long-term medical services at home. This improves healthcare delivery since medical services can be acc…
Research data sharing in Spain: Exploring determinants, practices, and perceptions
2020
This work provides an overview of a Spanish survey on research data, which was carried out within the framework of the project Datasea at the beginning of 2015. It is covered by the objectives of sustainable development (goal 9) to support the research. The purpose of the study was to identify the habits and current experiences of Spanish researchers in the health sciences in relation to the management and sharing of raw research data. Method: An electronic questionnaire composed of 40 questions divided into three blocks was designed. The three Section s contained questions on the following aspects: (A) personal information
Evidence-Based Knowledge Management: an approach to effectively promote good health-care decision-making in the Information Era.
2009
The sharing of information and the growth of knowledge together represent a foundation for the promotion of quality improvement of health care systems. This paper concerns knowledge, not only from an epistemological point of view, but also from a pragmatic one. In our paper, knowledge is discussed as the hub to promote better decision making and continuous professional development. Effective thinking is particularly needed. The critical point is to think about how health care systems can develop both an effective knowledge management network and how health-care organizations can actually be based on it. In this way, knowledge and knowledge hierarchy are defined according to Russel Achkoff's…
Identity and Access Management for Remote Maintenance Services in Business Networks
2007
Access to information systems across corporate boundaries with high demands to privacy and trust result into ambitious research and development targets. This study provides motivation and a roadmap for approaching integrated security management solutions in a business network of partners with heterogeneous ICT and security infrastructures. We aim at describing specifics of identity and access management in inter-organizational collaboration, and a vision and arguments for identity and access management in a business network. A case study with Metso Paper, Inc., the leading manufacturer of paper machinery and related services, validates the results, thus providing a motivating example of the…
A practical framework for data management processes and their evaluation in population-based medical registries.
2013
We present a framework for data management processes in population-based medical registries. Existing guidelines lack the concreteness we deem necessary for them to be of practical use, especially concerning the establishment of new registries. Therefore, we propose adjustments and concretisations with regard to data quality, data privacy, data security and registry purposes.First, we separately elaborate on the issues to be included into the framework and present proposals for their improvements. Thereafter, we provide a framework for medical registries based on quasi-standard-operation procedures.The main result is a concise and scientifically based framework that tries to be both broad a…

Knowledge management challenges in knowledge discovery systems
2006
Current knowledge discovery systems are armed with many data mining techniques that can be potentially applied to a new problem. However, a system faces a challenge of selecting the most appropriate technique(s) for a problem at hand, since in the real domain area it is infeasible to perform a comparison of all applicable techniques. The main goal of this paper is to consider the limitations of data-driven approaches and propose a knowledge-driven approach to enhance the use of multiple data-mining strategies in a knowledge discovery system. We introduce the concept of (meta-) knowledge management, which is aimed to organize a systematic process of (meta-) knowledge capture and refinement o…
Des Translators neue Kleider. Die Translationwirtschaft in Zeiten von Digitalisierung, Datafizierung und Big Data Management
2017
Abstract The Internet of things will influence all professional environments, including translation services. Advances in machine learning, supported by accelerating improvements in computer linguistics, have enabled new systems that can learn from their own experience and will have repercussions on the workflow processes of translators or even put their services at risk in the expected digitalized society. Outsourcing has become a common practice and working in the cloud and in the crowd tend to enable translating on a very low-cost level. Confronted with promising new labels like Industry 4.0 and Work 4.0, professional freelance translators will have to organize themselves as smart office…
