Open AccessOWL model of clinical trial eligibility criteria compatible with partially-known information
Clinical trials are important for patients, for researchers and for companies. One of the major bottlenecks is patient recruitment. This task requires the matching of a large volume of information about the pa...

Towards Decentralised Clinical Decision Support Systems
The sheer quantity and complexity of medical information, even within a single speciality, is beyond the power of one person to comprehend. Clinical decision support (CDS) systems have been clearly demonstrate...

An Executable Calculus for Service Choreography
The Lightweight Coordination Calculus (LCC) is a compact choreography language based on process calculus. LCC is a directly executable specification and can therefore be dynamically distributed to a group of p...

Models of Interaction as a Grounding for Peer to Peer Knowledge Sharing
Most current attempts to achieve reliable knowledge sharing on a large scale have relied on pre-engineering of content and supply services. This, like traditional knowledge engineering, does not by itself scal...

Probabilistic Dialogue Models for Dynamic Ontology Map**
Agents need to communicate in order to accomplish tasks that they are unable to perform alone. Communication requires agents to share a common ontology, a strong assumption in open environments where agents fr...

Approximate Structure-Preserving Semantic Matching
Typical ontology matching applications, such as ontology integration, focus on the computation of correspondences holding between the nodes of two graph-like structures, e.g., between concepts in two ontologie...
