Presentation / Conference
Anjum, A., Bessis, N., McClatchey, R., Munir, K., Habib, I., Branson, A., & Shamdasani, J. (2012, June). A service oriented analysis environment for neuroimaging studies. Paper presented at Sixth International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing (IMIS)

neuGRID is an EC-funded project driven by the needs of the Alzheimer's disease research community that aims to facilitate the collection and archiving of large amounts of imaging data coupled with a set of generalized services and algorithms. By taki... Read More about A service oriented analysis environment for neuroimaging studies.

Context caches in the Clouds (2012)
Journal Article
Kiani, S. L., Anjum, A., Antonopoulos, N., Munir, K., & McClatchey, R. (2012). Context caches in the Clouds. Journal of Cloud Computing: Advances, Systems and Applications, 1(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1186/2192-113X-1-7

In context-aware systems, the contextual information about human and computing situations has a strong temporal aspect i. e. it remains valid for a period of time. This temporal property can be exploited in caching mechanisms that aim to exploit such... Read More about Context caches in the Clouds.

Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Rahmouni, H. B., Munir, K., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2011, December). Risk-driven compliant access controls for clouds. Paper presented at Proceedings of the International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT 2011), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

There is widespread agreement that cloud computing have proven cost cutting and agility benefits. However, security and regulatory compliance issues are continuing to challenge the wide acceptance of such technology both from social and commercial st...

Towards context caching in the clouds (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Liaquat Kiani, S., Anjum, A., Antonopoulos, N., Munir, K., & McClatchey, R. (2011, December). Towards context caching in the clouds. Paper presented at International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2011), co-located with 4th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2011), Melbourne, Australia

Context information is traditionally collected from distributed digital artifacts and services and made available to similarly distributed, and often mobile, context consuming applications via context brokers or servers. Contextual data has a strong... Read More about Towards context caching in the clouds.

Provenance management for neuroimaging workflows in neuGrid (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Branson, A., Bloodsworth, P., Habib, I., Munir, K., McClatchey, R., & Soomro, K. (2011, October). Provenance management for neuroimaging workflows in neuGrid. Paper presented at P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing, Barcelona, Spain

Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Munir, K., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2009). Managing the mappings between domain ontologies and database schemas when formulating relational queries. . https://doi.org/10.1145/1620432.1620446

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.

Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Munir, K., Odeh, M., & McClatchey, R. (2008). Ontology assisted query reformulation using the semantic and assertion capabilities of OWL-DL ontologies. . https://doi.org/10.1145/1451940.1451953

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.

Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Munir, K., Odeh, M., Bloodsworth, P., & McClatchey, R. (2008). Using assertion capabilities of an OWL-based ontology for query formulation. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICTTA.2008.4530296

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.

The requirements for ontologies in medical data integration: A case study (2007)
Journal Article
Hauer, T., Anjum, A., Bloodsworth, P., Branson, A., McClatchey, R., Munir, K., …Shamdasani, J. (2007). The requirements for ontologies in medical data integration: A case study. https://doi.org/10.1109/IDEAS.2007.4318120

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.

Big data application in manufacturing industry
Book Chapter
Mitra, A., & Munir, K. Big data application in manufacturing industry. In S. Sakr, & A. Y. Zomaya (Eds.), Encyclopedia of Big Data Technologies (1-7). UK: Springer

Proliferation of modes of communication today also implies that people are generating a wide variety of data by themselves. At the same time the value of organisations has become increasingly dependent on the amount and type of data that it holds abo... Read More about Big data application in manufacturing industry.

Workflow orchestration and provenance management for neuroimaging research using CRISTAL
Working Paper
Branson, A., McClatchey, R., Shamdasani, J., Habib, I., Anjum, A., Bloodsworth, P., & Munir, K. (2012). Workflow orchestration and provenance management for neuroimaging research using CRISTAL

The workflow orchestration and traceability (or provenance) of data is essential in carrying out meaningful analyses of large scale neuroimaging datasets. In both the neuGRID and N4U projects the need for data provenance has been identified by the en...
