Analytics: Unpacking AIDS Policy in the Black Community

This chapter reviews major issues and trends in AIDS/HIV and IT literatures by focusing on health disparities in one historically underserved group; namely, Black Americans, and presents public health conceptual framework that augments this discourse by depicting those factors uncovered in traditional information technology/systems works.

Virtual Reality for Supporting Surgical Planning

This chapter presents a case of study of a Virtual Reality tool for supporting surgical planning, called VirSSPA, that has been already successfully applied in the University Hospital “Virgen del Rocio” (Seville-Spain).

Communication between Power Blackout and Mobile Network Overload

'BlaCom', an ICT-based concept for blackout communication, which addresses the time span between the occurrence of the energy blackout and the possible overload of the mobile phone network is proposed.

Making workflows situation aware: an ontology-driven framework for dynamic spatial systems

The main goal of the research project ProFlow is to leverage situation awareness in all phases of workflow management especially focusing on dynamic spatial systems as encountered, e.g., in the domain of road traffic management.

TreeWorks: Advances in Scalable Decision Trees

A heuristic is presented that allows TreeWorks to cope with observation sets that contain several distinct values of categorical data, as well as the ability to handle very large datasets by overcoming issues with computer main memory.
