INTEROPERABILITY OF INTEGRATED HIERARCHICAL SYSTEMS

Hospital information systems interoperability in Iran

Introduction: Interoperability is needed when the Hospital Information System (HIS) data should be combined and shared with different systems. This study was aimed to determine the semantic and technical interoperability of hospital information systems of Iran’s health care centers and propose guidelines to create and develop interoperability of these centers. Methods: This descriptive st...

integrated public e-services interoperability assessment

delivering added value public e-services often requires cooperation between two or more government departments. in general, such cooperation is ensured by implementing interoperability between automated business processes. in spite of the existence of several works interested in public online services in general, only few of them were focused on measuring interoperability degree, whether used o...

Integrated Hierarchical Design of Microelectro¯uidic Systems Using Systemc

This paper describes the role of SystemC in developing an integrated modeling and simulation environment for microelectro¯uidic systems (MEFS). Based on the unique modeling and simulation needs for MEFS, we examine suitability of several existing simulation languages. These languages include VHDL/VHDL-AMS, SLAM, Matlab, C/C11, and SystemC. Next, SystemC is justi®ed as a viable candidate for com...

Hierarchical Integrated Simulation Techniques for the Design of Embedded Systems

Integrated Admission Control in Hierarchical Video-on-Demand Systems

In this paper, we develop a unified model of a hierarchical Video-on-Demand(VoD) system by integrating the storage and the network subsystems. Rather than restricting the analysis to an isolated subsystem the performance of the VoD system is analyzed as an end-to-end system. On a system-wide basis, request handling and admission control policies are designed to minimize global performance metri...
