Properties and processes that influence CME geo-effectiveness

Processes and Events in Dynamic Geo-Networks

Traditional spatial information systems hold only a single state of the ‘real world’. However, geographic phenomena have not only static but dynamic characteristics. The work described in this paper contributes to the general research effort toward a generic ontology of dynamic geographic-scale phenomena and its application to the provision of modeling, analysis, and retrieval of data in a spat...

Clinical Decision Support: Effectiveness in Improving Quality Processes and Clinical Outcomes and Factors That May Influence Success

The use of electronic health records has skyrocketed following the 2009 HITECH Act, which provides financial incentives to health care providers for the "meaningful use" of electronic medical record systems. An important component of the "Meaningful Use" legislation is the integration of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) into the computerized record, providing up-to-date medical knowledg...

Geo-Processes and Properties Observed by Sensors: Can We Relate Them?

This paper introduces an ontology-based approach to relate properties observed by sensors to geographical processes and events. We use the basic categories in DOLCE to classify them. We illustrate our approach with examples from the surface hydrology domain.

Measuring Ad Effectiveness Using Geo Experiments

Advertisers have a fundamental need to quantify the effectiveness of their advertising. For search ad spend, this information provides a basis for formulating strategies related to bidding, budgeting, and campaign design. One approach that Google has successfully employed to measure advertising effectiveness is geo experiments. In these experiments, non-overlapping geographic regions are random...
