Due to the complexity and uncertainties, the distributed design process requires dynamic collaborations among the heterogeneous systems and human interactions. In order to coordinate different system applications and humans, an event notification model is required. In this article, we propose a service event notification model based on grid service. The model takes advantage of the grid infrast...

The aim of this study was to describe a systematic process of record-linkage, cross-validation, case-ascertainment and capture-recapture analysis to assess the quality of tuberculosis registers and to estimate the completeness of notification of incident tuberculosis cases in The Netherlands in 1998. After record-linkage and cross-validation 1499 tuberculosis patients were identified, of whom 1...

MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty-four examinations selected from the Healthcare Implementation Notification system list and performed at the Ankara University Facu...

BACKGROUND The United States has relied upon partner notification strategies to help break the chain of infection and re-infection for sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Physicians are a vital link in the system of STD control, but little is known of physician opinions about partner notification strategies. METHODS We collected opinions about partner notification from a national probability...

Netflix has become a worldwide video-streaming platform and the source of a large amount of the Internet traffic. It has achieved this without building its own datacentres, by controlling a network of servers deployed at Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) and within Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Despite its wide success and novel approach to infrastructure deployment, we have little understan...

Contextual collaboration services seamlessly integrate existing groupware technologies into a single consistent interaction model. This model is usually implemented by a contextual collaboration infrastructure that needs to efficiently cope with the fast switching between different modes of interaction. This paper introduces a new model for contextual collaboration based on the notion of generi...

BACKGROUND Although previous studies have found reminder/recall to be effective in increasing immunization rates, little guidance exists regarding the specific ages at which it is optimal to send reminder/recall notices. PURPOSE To assess the relative effectiveness of centralized reminder/recall strategies targeting age-specific vaccination milestones among children in urban areas during June...
