application of ict in health (ehealth) has become an integral part of modern healthcare systems. elec­tronic health information management has proven useful in improving quality of health care, reducing costs and facilitating health research. however, the increasing complexity of healthcare and the growing demand for high quality healthcare delivery has created a need for ehealth systems with t...

expansion of urban area is a well-known phenomenon in developing countries with population growth and the migration from villages to cities being two major factors. those factors reduce the influence of efforts to limit the cities boundaries. thus, spatial planners always look for the models that simulate the expansion of urban land-uses, and enable them to prevent unbalanced expansions of citi...

Most spreading processes require spatial proximity between agents. The stationary state of dynamics in a population mobile agents thus depends on the interplay time and length scales involved epidemic process their motion space. We analyze steady properties resulting from such simple model describing (modeled as susceptible-infected-susceptible process) self-propelled particles (performing run-...

In this paper, we plan to study the viability and effectiveness of using an agent-oriented approach to developing content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. Image retrieval is a key technology that significantly aid the work of both professionals (medical practitioners, engineers, etc.) and has the potential of enabling a much richer interaction of the average home user with the distributed ...
