Application Of Ict Iii: Use Of Information And Mobile Computing Technologies In Healthcare Facilities Of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Ahad Siddiqi, Munir Ahmed, Yasser M. Alginahi, Abdulrahman Alharby

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Information technology forms an important part of the healthcare solution. Accurate and up-to-date information is essential to continuous quality improvement in any organization, and particularly so in an area as complex as healthcare. Therefore, diverse information systems must be integrated across the healthcare enterprise. The knowledge base in the medical field is large, complex, and growing rapidly. It includes scientific knowledge, as well as familiarity with the day-to-day business of providing healthcare. It is crucial to identify the processes in the healthcare sector that would most benefit from the support of information technology. This study is focused on the analysis …

Enhanced Risk Analysis-Relative Impact Factorization, Basit Shahzad, Tanveer Afzal, Rizwana Irfan Aug 2005

Enhanced Risk Analysis-Relative Impact Factorization, Basit Shahzad, Tanveer Afzal, Rizwana Irfan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Software engineering is an area of development which always has the risk factor present and software engineering can hardly be done on some straight line. So, the manager has to handle the dynamically changing circumstances in order to complete the job. The target of development team is to develop the software according to the requirements within specified time. Wide variety of risks I are present that may grab the development effort. A good manager must ensure that all measures have been taken against the risks that may possibly come. This paper focuses on determining the relative impact of risk factors …

Keynote: The Use Of Meta-Heuristic Algorithms For Data Mining, Dr. Beatrize De La Iglesia, A. Reynolds Aug 2005

Keynote: The Use Of Meta-Heuristic Algorithms For Data Mining, Dr. Beatrize De La Iglesia, A. Reynolds

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

In this paper we explore the application of powerful optimisers known as metaheuristic algorithms to problems within the data mining domain. We introduce some well-known data mining problems, and show how they can be formulated as optimisation problems. We then review the use of metaheuristics in this context. In particular, we focus on the task of partial classification and show how multi-objective metaheuristics have produced results that are comparable to the best known techniques but more scalable to large databases. We conclude by reinforcing the importance of research on the areas of metaheuristics for optimisation and data mining. The combination …

G-Value Decoding Of Greedy Codes, Khalil Ahmad Aug 2005

G-Value Decoding Of Greedy Codes, Khalil Ahmad

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Error-correcting codes are widely used to increase the reliability of transmission of information over various forms of communication channels. Codes with a given minimum distance d can be constructed by a greedy algorithm [2]. In this paper, I proposed a new algorithm for the allocation of g-values to the binary vectors. Hamming (7, 4, 3) code can be generated by the application of greedy algorithm on the binary vectors of length 7 arranged in B-ordering. This code is used to demonstrate a new decoding technique for linear codes in addition to the schemes already known for decoding such as Syndrome …

Keynote: Role Of Values & Culture In Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad Aug 2005

Keynote: Role Of Values & Culture In Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

It is no longer unusual to see, in a remote town in northern area in Pakistan, a practically non-literate wagon driver calling from his Nokia cell phone his uncle in Dubai or in Karachi. He enjoys sharing with him about his success in business and the settlement of family disputes. While he is driving on dangerous curvy roads and having this conversation, in the back seat of the wagon a comparatively young person is playing games on his cell phone. All this was unimaginable a quarter of a century ago.
