In the following we report on the outcome of the ICWE 2015 Rapid Mashup Challenge (RMC), describe the voting system used, and draw some conclusions regarding the presented works.

In this paper we propose a method that integrates the notion of understandability, as a factor of document relevance, into the evaluation of information retrieval systems for consumer health search. We consider the gain-discount evaluation framework (RBP, nDCG, ERR) and propose two understandability-based variants (uRBP) of rank biased precision, characterised by an estimation of understandabil...

In this paper, we describe a method for predicting the understandability level of inferences with OWL. Specifically, we present a probabilistic model for measuring the understandability of a multiplestep inference based on the measurement of the understandability of individual inference steps. We also present an evaluation study which confirms that our model works relatively well for two-step i...

Decision making by software systems that face uncertainty needs tracing to support understandability, as accountability is crucial. While logging has been essential explanations and understandability of behaviour, several issues still persist, such the high cost for managing large logs, not knowing what log, inability techniques relate events each other or specific occurrences high-level activi...

Current approaches to knowledge discovery can be differentiated based on the discovered models using the following criteria: effectiveness, understandability (to a user or expert in the domain) and evolvability (ability to adapt over time to a changing environment). Most current approaches satisfy understandability or effectiveness, but not simultaneously, while tending to ignore knowledge evol...

Views are a much talked about, frequently misunderstood, notion in current software architecture. Views are used to separate concerns and increase understandability of architectural descriptions, but there is a tradeoff between increased understandability and the need to integrate multiple views for consistency. This paper explores applying the metaphor Views as modules to this problem.

BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the length of time elapsed between reports of the same incidents related to avian flu and H1N1 outbreaks published by the WHO and ProMED-mail, the two major global health surveillance systems, before and after the amendment of the International Health Regulations in 2005 (IHR 2005) and to explore the association between country transparency and this timeli...
