While research is linked with informed decision-making and improved healthcare delivery patient outcomes, the process of generating translating evidence in practice capturing its impact can often be challenging. Based on document database reviews interviews a regional Australian health system, Brown et al discuss challenges assessing investments over ten-year period. This commentary explores th...

Often during the requirements engineering (RE) process, the value of a requirement is assessed, e.g., in requirement prioritisation, release planning, and trade-off analysis. In order to support these activities, this research evaluates Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) methods for the description of a requirement’s value. Specifically, we investigate the goal-to-goal contribution r...

Risk informed in-service inspection aims at prioritising the components for inspection within the permissible risk level thereby avoiding unnecessary inspections. Various methods have been evolved for prioritisation, in which the importance measure approach has gained a wide popularity. This paper presents an importance measure that can be employed to prioritise components of any dimension, whi...

Mapping of the human genome has been instrumental in understanding diseases caused by changes in single genes. However, disease mechanisms involving multiple genes have proven to be much more elusive. Their complexity emerges from interactions of intracellular molecules and makes them immune to the traditional reductionist approach. Only by modelling this complex interaction pattern using netwo...
