Background: A research team from Monash University and Peninsula Health, Victoria is undertaking a trial of digital pen and paper technology for clinical pathway management. Digital pen and paper allows for the capture of images of handwritten documents using an embedded camera in the pen which is matched with special patterns of dots on the paper. These digitised images can be uploaded to a database for analysis. Objectives: Clinical pathways have been adopted in most Australian hospitals to document and manage multidisciplinary care across a variety of acute care environments. Analysis of the information collected in paper-based clinical pathway documents …

This paper reports a novel semantic web application developed to deliver a collaborative tagging system for a digital on-line museum. The key features of our application – called the Virtual Museum of the Pacific – concern the browsing and retrieval interface based on Formal Concept Analysis, the extensible distributed data model to support collaborative tagging and its web services implementation.

We propose to use a knowledge based approach to assist in mechanical design focusing on dimensional tolerancing. To illustrate our approach, we capture the knowledge which human designers utilize in order to specify dimensional tolerances on shafts and mating holes in order to meet desired classes of fit as set by relevant engineering standards. The software system we developed would help mechanical designers become more effective in the time-consuming dimensioning and tolerancing process of their designs in the future. In doing this, the paper makes a twofold contribution to the field of knowledge acquisition: firstly, interface was adjusted to receive …

Network reconfiguration in distribution system is realized by changing the status of sectionalizing switches, and is usually done for the purpose of loss reduction. Loss reduction can result in substantial benefits for a utility. Other benefits from loss reduction include increased system capacity, and possible deferment or elimination of capital expenditures for system improvements and expansion. There is also improved voltage regulation as a result of reducing feeder voltage drop. Research work included by this paper focuses on using branch exchange method to minimize losses and solve the problems over different radial configuration. Solution’s algorithm for loss minimization has been …


Social Tagging For Digital Libraries Using Formal Concept Analysis, Timothy Wray, Peter W. Eklund Jan 2010

Social Tagging For Digital Libraries Using Formal Concept Analysis, Timothy Wray, Peter W. Eklund

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

This paper describes the Art Collection Ecosystem – an application that allows users to tag and serendipitously browse content using Formal Concept Analysis. Within this application, tags are derived from meta-data of artworks within an existing asset management system and are classified according to theories derived from social tagging behaviour.We present past and recent iterations of its design, where it is evaluated as a contextual comparison to a popular image tagging application, Flickr. Through the process of iterative design and user evaluation, we produce results are of interest to any applied research and development that involves the exploration of digital …
