We developed a PC based ECG system with synchronous signal acquisition from all electrode locations, total power-line interference elimination, real-time presentation of selected groups of leads on the monitor screen and simultaneous signal storing in the PC RAM of an epoch of about 10 minutes

This report presents the development of an algorithm for the prediction of the effects of warfarin, and thereby its prescription. The use of machine learning techniques, including Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks are investigated, and it is demonstrated that machine learning can be used to accurately predict changes in the warfarin dosage requirements of individual patients, as well as to predict their INR levels when given a particular dosage, through the use of an adaptive patient model.

Abstract—This paper introduces a process for the module level integration of computer based systems. It is based on the Six Sigma Process Improvement Model, where the goal of the process is to improve the overall quality of the system under development. We also present a conceptual framework

This bibliography is divided into three general categories: (1) information storaee and retrieval theory: (2) computer-based systems in education: and (3) computer-based systemr in guidance and counseling. The latter comprises, by far, the bulk of the bibliogiavhy and contains aeneral works

as compared to machines. Paper describes how most of the problems observed in computer-based systems are due to human mistakes at various stages of system development life cycle (analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment and operations) and then describes the role of automation in reducing

This paper explores the limitations of one technique for modelling computer-based systems with evolving requirements. A case study is introduced which highlights the importance of taking a multi-perspective on dependable computer-based systems. This should be reflected in the modelling technique

Authors of PhD theses concerning (interaction) design have carried out different forms of design work with different research intentions. One of these authors, Gis-lén, gives her view of design as research in her thesis: that it is a matter of ap-proach rather than the course of action or procedure in the design process (Gislén, 2003:246). Starting out from that in a way, I tried to see what this approach could look like. Below, I compare how different authors of PhD theses have presented their design work in relation to their research work. I try to show that the approach can be different and give examples of what the difference could imply in terms like argumentation, evaluation and communication. CATEGORISING I have positioned the design work of three dissertations and one design-research project in a diagram (see next page). My attempt with the categorisation has been to create a basis for discussions about whether the kind of design work carried out matters for the research process and outcome. The x-axis in this diagram is design outcome and the y-axis is research intention

In this paper an approach to a distributed engineering environment for computer--based systems is discussed. On one hand such an approach has to provide appropriate WEB technology and support for remote collaborative working. On the other hand the engineering process itself and the objects
