Memos - A Mobile Extensible Memory System
نویسنده
چکیده
Memory disturbances are a frequent outcome of brain damages. Maintenance or enhancement of the patients’ life quality requires an enormous effort of caregivers or family members. To support patients with brain injuries the mobile distributed care system named MEMOS (Mobile Extensible Memory System) was designed, implemented and tested in the daycare clinic for cognitive neurology at Leipzig University. MEMOS is implemented as a distributed system, using CORBA technologies and Enterprise Java Beans. A special palmtop computer, the Personal Memory Assistant (PMA), reminds the patient of important tasks and supervises the patients actions. The PMA communicates with the stationary care system via a bidirectional cellular radio connection. The stationary care system was developed under the angle of dependability and scalability and the aspect of unreliable cellular phone connections to the mobile device. This paper describes the design and function of the MEMOS system as well its application to the practical care of patients. Keywords— mobile distributed computing, CORBA, Enterprise Java Beans, cellular radio networks, personal memory assistants, palmtop computer, telemedicine, telerehabilitation

Modeling a Mobile Memory Aid System
The electronic memory aid system MEMOS was developed at Leipzig University to support patients with memory disturbances. Starting from this application background MEMOS is designed as a distributed system where a central server component controls a special handheld computer, the Personal Memory Assistant (PMA), over a GSM or a GPRS cellular phone network. To guarantee a wide flexibility and ada...
متن کاملMemos: Revisiting Hybrid Memory Management in Modern Operating System
The emerging hybrid DRAM-NVM architecture is challenging the existing memory management mechanism in operating system. In this paper, we introduce memos, which can schedule memory resources over the entire memory hierarchy including cache, channels, main memory comprising DRAM and NVM simultaneously. Powered by our newly designed kernel-level monitoring module and page migration engine, memos c...
متن کاملMobile Electronic Memos
This paper explores a novel concept called Mobile Electronic Memo whose purpose is to overcome the limitations in terms of interoperability and accessibility imposed by the current technology. To achieve this goal, Mobile Electronic Memos decouple the semantics of the information from the physical and pragmatic constraints of the medium that transports it. We examine related works and standards...
متن کاملHow to design an electronic memory aid for brain-injured patients: Considerations on the basis of a model of prospective memory
T here has been an enormous development in the field of electronic memory aids, such as mobile phones, organizers, or combinations of both. Nevertheless, these devices have hardly been useful in the neuropsychological therapy of memory-impaired patients so far. The model of prospective remembering by Ellis (1996) is used as theoretical background in order to (1) analyse patients’ needs concerni...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Vision System on a Mobile Manipulator
This article will introduce a robust vision system which was implemented on a mobile manipulator. This robot has to find objects and deliver them to pre specified locations. In the first stage, a method which is named color adjacency method was employed. However, this method needs a large amount of memory and the process is very slow on computers with small memories. Therefore since the previou...
