Gena: Multiplatform Generic Agents

Mobile agents in the Internet environment bring new constraints. In particular, various agent platforms will coexist on the Net. Our generic agent model “GenA” allows agents to run on and move between different agent platforms by using an interface called “GenAi.” Programming these GenA agents is independent of the underlying agent platforms. An implementation of this agent model has been perfo...

Multiplatform Universal Visualization Architecture

Information visualization techniques are invaluable tools in numerous applications such as those involving large databases and document collections. Ubiquitous usage of such techniques can provide universal access to complex information. The main goal of our work is to provide such universal visual access to information through the proposed Multiplatform Universal Visualization Architecture (MU...

Multiplatform Mobile Laser Scanning: Usability and Performance

Mobile laser scanning is an emerging technology capable of capturing three-dimensional data from surrounding objects. With state-of-the-art sensors, the achieved point clouds capture object details with good accuracy and precision. Many of the applications involve civil engineering in urban areas, as well as traffic and other urban planning, all of which serve to make 3D city modeling probably ...

Providers and Patients Caught Between Standardization and Individualization: Individualized Standardization as a Solution; Comment on “(Re) Making the Procrustean Bed? Standardization and Customization as Competing Logics in Healthcare”

In their 2017 article, Mannion and Exworthy provide a thoughtful and theory-based analysis of two parallel trends in modern healthcare systems and their competing and conflicting logics: standardization and customization. This commentary further discusses the challenge of treatment decision-making in times of evidence-based medicine (EBM), shared decision-making and personalized medicine. From ...
