Active Literature Discovery for Scoping Evidence Reviews

Scoping reviews of the biomedical literature are very commonly used in health technology assessments to inform the planning of more detailed and resource-intensive evaluations. A typical task is to ‘map’ the literature addressing a specific clinical question, i.e., (i) identify as many relevant articles of interest as feasible under a constrained budget, and (ii) estimate how many such articles...

Finding Outbreaks Faster

Rapid detection, reporting, and response to an infectious disease outbreak are critical to prevent localized health events from emerging as pandemic threats. Metrics to evaluate the timeliness of these critical activities, however, are lacking. Easily understood and comparable measures for tracking progress and encouraging investment in rapid detection, reporting, and response are sorely needed...

Better operating system features for faster network

Widely-used operating systems provide inadequate support for large-scale Internet server applications. Their algorithms and interfaces fail to eeciently support either event-driven or multi-threaded servers. They provide poor control over the scheduling and management of machine resources, making it diicult to provide robust and controlled service. We propose new UNIX interfaces to improve scal...
