In this paper we present the performance analysis of different data mining techniques to predict the inpatient hospital length of stay in a super specialty hospital. Data set used for the analysis is real time data taken from super specialty hospital. Pre-processed data set is generated from the electronic discharge summaries obtained from the hospital. This data set consists of 401 records wit...

In recent years, the study of complex networks has received a lot of attention. Real systems, including information networks and relationships between persons and users, have gained importance in scientific publications, despite of an important drawback: the difficulty of retrieving and manage such great quantity of information. This paper wants to be an introduction to the construction of spid...

This paper proposes the idea of vision agents over Internet, outlines the performance models of Live WWW with agents, and describes an object search agent and its communications with other agents. The goal is to reduce the tra c on the Internet for Live WWW by integrating the WWW technology, agent theory and computer vision technology together.

This document is an introduction to radial basis function RBF networks a type of arti cial neural network for application to problems of supervised learning e g regression classi cation and time series prediction It is now only available in PostScript an older and now unsupported hyper text ver sion may be available for a while longer The document was rst published in along with a package of Ma...

Until now the growing volume of heterogeneous and distributed information on the WWW makes increasingly difficult for the existing tools to retrieve relevant information. To improve the performance of these tools, we suggest to handle two aspects of the problem: One concerns a better representation and description of WWW pages, we introduce here a new concept of "WWW documents", and we describe...

This paper presents two studies of the use of the WWW in Scottish universities and American land-grant universities. First, we investigated the relationship between the organisational profile of a university department in Scotland and its structural connectivity on the WWW. A Spearman rank order correlation analysis revealed a number of strong correlation relationships between structural connec...

In this paper, we present investigative results of HTTP performance over GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). Following on from an earlier study of GPRS[2], in which we uncovered a number of performance problems with TCP (e.g. sub-optimal start-up performance, excess queueing, spurious timeouts etc.), we discuss how and to what extent these limitations can impact HTTP. We also examine some othe...

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a rapidly growing distributed hypertext on the Internet. This paper presents a way to enable users to navigate the WWW spatially by providing a spatial user interface metaphor in a textual virtual environment. This may help users to orient themselves in the masses of information available. The term "spatial navigation" stresses the fact that the structure of the info...

In this paper, we motivate the importance of mobile access to global information systems and present WWW/Newton, a WWW frontend for Apple’s Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), the Newton. An emphasis is put on impacts of the PDA technology and limited network bandwidth on the software architecture of WWW/Newton. On the other hand, we will discuss resulting requirements for next-generation WWW pro...
