12 Quantum States: Discrimination and Classical Information Transmission.A Review of Experimental Progress
The purpose of this chapter is to review the experimental achievements made to date in two closely related areas of quantum information science.... -
Computerization of Clinical Guidelines: an Application of Medical Document Processing
Clinical Guidelines are being developed as a tool to promote Best Practice in Medicine. They are usually defined as “systematically developed... -
Case-based Medical Informatics
The “applied” nature distinguishes applied sciences from theoretical sciences. To emphasize this distinction, we begin with a general, meta-level... -
Medical Diagnosis and Prognosis Based on the DNA Microarray Technology
Immense genomic data have been accumulated through various research activities such as the Human Genome Project. A genome is the entire collection of... -
Wearable Devices in Healthcare
The miniaturization of electrical and electronic equipment is certainly not a new phenomenon, and its effects have long been evident in the... -
Evidence Based Telemedicine
This chapter focuses on evidence based telemedicine and its various applications. Evidence based medicine is the integration of best research... -
Virtual Communities in Health Care
A virtual community is a social entity involving several individuals who relate to one another by the use of a specific communication technology that... -
Scalable Metadata Definition Frameworks
The VO will be an evolving environment that will enable increasingly complex interactions between resources. Naturally, expanding capabilities will... -
National Virtual Observatory Architecture
The National Virtual Observatory is assembling web services, data analysis pipelines, and grid software to support astronomical research. The initial... -
Theoretical Astrophysics and the US-NVO Initiative
Early discussions of the Virtual Observatory concept revolved almost exclusively around the use of large scale datasets derived from major observing... -
Making Ground-Based Optical/Infrared Imaging Surveys VO-Compatible
To cope with the rapidly increasing volume and complexity of data being generated by ESO’s public optical/infrared imaging surveys a... -
Catalogue Intersection: Beyond Basic Cross Correlations
Matching objects listed in different catalogues by position is a primary need for VO users: we want to find counterparts (or absence of counterparts)... -
Space-Time Metadata for the Virtual Observatory
We discuss the hierarchy of objects that are to contain the metadata pertaining to space and time for the Virtual Observatory. The design needs to be... -
Enabling Outreach with Virtual Observatories
Virtual observatories are potentially excellent vehicles for public outreach and education because they can put anyone in direct contact with the... -
The Canadian Virtual Observatory Project
The Canadian Virtual Observatory (CVO) project is now funded at a level that places it among the major Virtual Observatory (VO) projects in the... -

The CCD Sky Patrols and Plate Archives
We report on the recent efforts to extract the data from the CCD and photographic sky patrol archives as well as to evaluate them and use for... -
Early Virtual Science: Some Lessons for the AVO
Experience with ASTROVIRTEL, scientific analysis of current large data sets, and detailed preparation for the truly huge future missions especially... -
System to Study Evolution of Radio Galaxies as a Part of a Virtual Radio Observatory
The system for study of radio galaxies evolution using photometry data has been created at the site http: //sed.sao.ru. It consists of several... -
IDHA Image Archive Model
The Image archive model described here has been developed within the scope of the IDHA (Images Distribuées Hétérogènes pour l’Astronomie) project....
