Schematic networks are linear abstractions of functional networks, such as route networks. Lines in the original network are modified in order to produce a schematic network which satisfies a set of constraints chosen to design the network. A method is described which accomplishes this line transformation using an iterative improvement technique driven by design constraints. The method maintain...

Infection control education has been a core component of infection control programs since they were established (Scheckler et al., 1998; Department of Health and Ageing, 2004) and remains a constant feature in the modern healthcare context. Education is a pivotal strategy used to address problems identified through surveillance of infection or to improve infection control practice.(Dubbert et a...

In the context of service discovery on the Grid, the demand for personalisation comes from individual users, who want their preferences to be taken into account during the search and selection of suitable ...

Process model matching refers to the task of creating correspondences among activities of different process models. This task is crucial whenever comparison and alignment of process models are called for. In recent years, there have been a few attempts to tackle process model matching. Yet, evaluating the obtained sets of correspondences reveals high variability in the results. Addressing this ...
