MILAN - A medical information-system linking agents to metabolic networks

The genome, the protein-biosynthesis and the metabolism constitute a complex, strongly linked system. The complete functionality of this system is not entirely understood yet. Especially pharmacologists and medical doctors are interested to know how the system works regarding the influence of medications (Drug-Pointing). In the last thirty years biochemical research delivered a huge amount of r...

Milan: Middleware Linking Applications and Networks

Current trends in computing include increases in both distribution and wireless connectivity, leading to highly dynamic, complex environments on top of which applications must be built. The task of designing and ensuring the correctness of applications in these environments is similarly becoming more complex. The unified goal of much of the research in distributed wireless systems is to provide...

Linking a clinical system to heterogeneous information resources

We present a model for providing clinical information system (CIS) users with quick access to high quality information resources. We have developed a chest X-ray information button application which is attached to the chest X-ray reports in the CIS at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. The application generates questions based on clinical information, user interest, generic question temp...

Metabolic Information Control System

Systems for the integration of data in molecular biology are becoming more and more important because scientists as well as applications can not always find all relevant data in one database. Another advantage of data integration is the possibility to derive information of a new quality using semantic relations between the integrated data of various databases. With the requirement to feed an ap...
