A fault tolerant, dynamic and low latency BDII architecture for grids (2010)
Journal Article

The current BDII model relies on information gathering from agents that run on each core node of a Grid. This information is then published into a Grid wide information resource known as Top BDII. The Top level BDIIs are updated typically in cycles o... Read More about A fault tolerant, dynamic and low latency BDII architecture for grids.

Research traceability using provenance services for biomedical analysis and the neuGRID consortium (2010)
Book Chapter

Grid infrastructures for computational neuroscience: The neuGRID example (2009)
Journal Article

Neuroscience is increasingly making use of statistical and mathematical tools to extract information from images of biological tissues. Computational neuroimaging tools require substantial computational resources and the increasing availability of la...

Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In recent years, the tremendous increase in the use of medical knowledge-discovery and decision-support applications has often required clinical researchers to write complex database queries. The users of these data analysis systems are normally unaw... Read More about Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries.

Rule-based querying of distributed, heterogeneous data (2009)
Journal Article

When searching for data, users tend to think in terms of the information they need to retrieve and not where and how it is stored. This is especially true in the highly complex domain of neurological research. The -generic medical querying service de... Read More about Rule-based querying of distributed, heterogeneous data.

Reusable services from the neuGRID project for grid-based health applications (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

By abstracting Grid middleware specific considerations from clinical research applications, re-usable services should be developed that will provide generic functionality aimed specifically at medical applications. In the scope of the
neuGRID projec... Read More about Reusable services from the neuGRID project for grid-based health applications.

Semantic matching using the UMLS (2009)
Journal Article

Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

End users of recent biomedical information systems are often unaware of the storage structure and access mechanisms of the underlying data sources and can require simplified mechanisms for writing domain specific complex queries. This research aims t... Read More about Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies.

Semantic matching for the medical domain (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes some modifications to the SMatch algorithm that enables the semantic matching of medical terminologies using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as a source of background knowledge. Semantic Matching is the process of disco... Read More about Semantic matching for the medical domain.

Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper reports on the development of a framework to assist users in formulating relational queries without requiring a complete knowledge of the information structure and access mechanisms to underlying data sources. The emphasis here is on explo... Read More about Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation.

Medical data integration and the semantic annotation of medical protocols (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An architecture for semantic navigation and reasoning with patient data: experiences of the Health-e-Child project (2008)
Journal Article

The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC (2008)
Journal Article

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is described. The detector operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was conceived to study proton-proton (and leadlead)
collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon)... Read More about The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.

A data model for integrating heterogeneous medical data in the health-e-child project (2008)
Book Chapter

The requirements for ontologies in medical data integration: A case study (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evidence-based medicine is critically dependent on three sources of information: a medical knowledge base, the patient's medical record and knowledge of available resources, including where appropriate, clinical protocols. Patient data is often scatt... Read More about The requirements for ontologies in medical data integration: A case study.

MammoGrid - a prototype distributed mammographic database for Europe (2007)
Journal Article

This paper describes the prototype for a Europe-wide distributed database of mammograms entitled MammoGrid, which was developed as part of an EU-funded project. The MammoGrid database appears to the user to be a single database, but the mammograms th... Read More about MammoGrid - a prototype distributed mammographic database for Europe.

Experiences of engineering Grid-based medical software (2007)
Journal Article

Objectives: Grid-based technologies are emerging as potential solutions for managing and collaborating distributed resources in the biomedical domain. Few examples exist, however, of successful implementations of Grid-enabled medical systems and even... Read More about Experiences of engineering Grid-based medical software.

Data intensive and network aware (DIANA) grid scheduling (2007)
Journal Article

In Grids scheduling decisions are often made on the basis of jobs being either data or computation intensive: in data intensive situations jobs may be pushed to the data and in computation intensive situations data may be pulled to the jobs. This kin... Read More about Data intensive and network aware (DIANA) grid scheduling.

Bulk scheduling with the DIANA scheduler (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Results from the research and development of a Data Intensive and Network Aware (DIANA) scheduling engine, to be used primarily for data intensive sciences such as physics analysis, are described. In Grid analyses, tasks can involve thousands of comp... Read More about Bulk scheduling with the DIANA scheduler.

Digital libraries: From process modelling to grid-based service oriented architecture (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Graphical Business Process Modelling Languages (BPML) like Role Activity Diagrams (RAD) provide ease and flexibility for modelling business behaviour. However, these languages show limited applicability in terms of enactment over distributed systems...
