Building Design Support by Hierarchical Expert Networks
For building design, computational intelligence systems use a knowledge base formed by means of neural network and fuzzy logic (neuro-fuzzy) techniques, from a building design database. The application of such a system to a building design task was preliminarily demonstrated earlier. The present research describes a systematic neural fuzzy modelling of data that forms a knowledge base in a hier...
متن کاملSurveillance and Outbreak Response Management System (SORMAS) to support the control of the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa.
In the context of controlling the current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD), the World Health Organization claimed that 'critical determinant of epidemic size appears to be the speed of implementation of rigorous control measures', i.e. immediate follow-up of contact persons during 21 days after exposure, isolation and treatment of cases, decontamination, and safe burials. We developed the ...
متن کاملBuilding a hospital referral expert system with a Prediction and Optimization-Based Decision Support System algorithm
This study presents a new method for constructing an expert system using a hospital referral problem as an example. Many factors, such as institutional characteristics, patient risks, traveling distance, and chances of survival and complications should be included in the hospital-selection decision. Ideally, each patient should be treated individually, with the decision process including not on...
متن کاملBuilding an Ontological model in Decision Support of Crisis Response
The decision making in crisis response is a very difficult and complex problem in human and society environment. It requires rigorous information and communication-intensive effects, tactful utilized for reducing uncertainty, accurate calculating and comparing costs and benefits, and managing resource in a fashion beyond those regularly available to handle routine problem. However, recently, th...
متن کاملSpecimen Referral Network to Rapidly Scale-Up CD4 Testing: The Hub and Spoke Model for Haiti.
OBJECTIVES Regular and quality CD4 testing is essential to monitor disease progression in people living with HIV. In Haiti, most laboratories have limited infrastructure and financial resources and have relied on manual laboratory techniques. We report the successful implementation of a national specimen referral network to rapidly increase patient coverage with quality CD4 testing while at the...
