Analysis and Architecture of Clinical Workflow Systems using Agent-Oriented Lifecycle Models
Healthcare executives are grappling with a climate of great change in the healthcare industry. This is coming from a number of sources. First, there... -
Current Status of Computerized Decision Support Systems in Mammography
Breast cancer is one of the most devastating and deadly diseases for women today. Despite advances in cancer treatment, early mammographic detection... -
9 On Observing Contact States in Overconstrained Manipulation
Estimation of contact state is important to any multi-point interaction that involves frictional stick/slip phenomena. In particular, when there are... -
13 Haptic Interfaces: Collocation and Coherence Issues
Multi-modality, collocation and immersive VE nowadays represents the break-trough barrier of human computer interaction. Typical VE systems... -
6 Efficient and Precise Grasp Planning for Real World Objects
With the development of .exible and highly integrated dexterous grip** devices (e.g. fig.6.1) the research results on grasp and manipulation... -
4 Modelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the... -

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... -
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... -
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... -
14 Intrinsically Passive Control using Sampled Data System Passivity
In this chapter, which is a distilled version of [271], we present a novel way to approach the interconnection of a continuous and a discrete time... -
8 Semi-Autonomous Human-Robot Interaction for People with Disability
This chapter presents an innovative semi-autonomous human-robot interaction concept for people with disability and discusses a proof-of-concept... -
1 Rapid Collision Dynamics for Multiple Contacts with Friction
We examine the interaction of complex two-dimensional rigid bodies with friction. Given their idealized description, many different feasible... -
16 Design of 100G Capturing Robot
How much acceleration can a robot produce? Pursuing a robot with an extremely high response is a challenging matter. We have designed and developed... -
10 Tactile Flow and Haptic Discrimination of Softness
Haptic perception involves both cutaneous perception, through mechanoreceptors lying on the skin, and kinaesthetic perception mediated by the... -
5 Grasp Synthesis from Example: Tuning the Example to a Task or Object
Many approaches to grasp synthesis do not scale well as the desired number of contacts is increased. In previous work [223], we have presented a...
