Title: Extracting Patient-Related Description from Medical Records in Bulgarian
Authors: Boytcheva, Svetla; Paskaleva, Elena; Nikolova, Ivelina; Angelova, Galia
Abstract: This paper deals with the extraction of medical information from hospital patient records. It proposes a cascade approach for the extraction of multi-layer knowledge statements because the subject is too complex. We sketch the Information Extraction view to text analysis, where patient-related facts are recognised using predefined regular expressions and templates. A laboratory prototype for patient status extraction is presented together with the first evaluation results.2009-01-01T00:00:00ZFault-Proneness Estimation and Java Migration: A Preliminary Case Study

Title: Fault-Proneness Estimation and Java Migration: A Preliminary Case Study
Authors: Bianco, Mirco; Kaneider, Daniel; Sillitti, Alberto; Succi, Giancarlo
Abstract: The paper presents and discusses an industrial case study, where an eight year running software project has been analyzed. We collected about 1000 daily-versions, together with the file version control system, and bug tracking data. This project has been migrated from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5, and visible effects of this migration on the bytecode are presented and discussed. From this case study, we expect to observe the effects on the code size produced by the Java technology migration, and to improve the performances of already existing fault-proneness estimation models. Preliminary results about fault-proneness estimation are shown.2009-01-01T00:00:00ZNeOn Methodology for Building Ontology Networks: a Scenario-based Methodology

Title: NeOn Methodology for Building Ontology Networks: a Scenario-based Methodology
Authors: Gómez-Pérez, Asunción; Suárez-Figueroa, Mari Carmen
Abstract: The 1990s and the first years of this new millennium have witnessed the growing interest of many practitioners in methodologies that support the creation of single or isolated ontologies. All these approaches have supposed a step forward since they have transformed the art of constructing single ontologies into an engineering activity. With the goal of speeding up the ontology development process, ontology practitioners are starting to reuse and re-engineer as much as possible knowledge resources (such as ontologies, thesauri, lexicons, and classification schemas), which already have reached some degree of con sensus. In this paper, we present the set of nine scenarios identified in the NeOn Methodology framework. Additionally, we present how such scenarios have been followed in different use cases.2009-01-01T00:00:00ZUsing Knowledge Management Technology to Aid Knowledge Transfer

Title: Using Knowledge Management Technology to Aid Knowledge Transfer
Authors: Zangerl, Alexander
Abstract: This paper describes a practical system designed to create, maintain and manage teaching materials using knowledge management techniques. This system uses ISO Topic Maps to represent and store knowledge, which subsequently are accessed online or converted into multiple forms suitable for use as lecture materials. The benets of such a generic semantic knowledge store that represents information in a shallow and concise fashion include the ease of selecting pertinent material and of any subsequent transformation into presentations and lecture materials. Separating content lters and presentation rendering from the actual knowledge also allows for very ecient long-term maintenance of the knowledge. This environment has evolved over the last six years and become a major factor in reducing the eorts necessary to keep course materials up to date where the subjects cover fast-changing, emerging technologies and therefore require frequent revision. Our knowledge management approach to maintaining teaching materials also suggested itself as a novel assessment format: in advanced subjects we have had quite positive experiences with tasking students with research exercises where the deliverable is such a topic map instead of the more common essay format. This paper gives an overview of our integrated environment and outlines the benets and positive results we have experienced with its use for teaching purposes.2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
