The WHO estimates that chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer and diabetes cause at least 60% of deaths annualy. Treatment of patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases is therefore becoming one of the most important areas of research. The positive influence of information and communication technology (ICT) use in treatment of chronic patients crucially depends on active patient engagement, personalization of the care process and simplified care management. In this research project we developed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) integral environment that is process oriented, models knowledge using OpenEHR (Open Electronic Health Record) apporach and is based on open-source technology.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 28879577In the invited talk was present a method for the vehicle and crew scheduling problem (CSP) in public transport that is based on the ACO meta-heuristics. Since all subproblems are NP-complete we need to use meta-heuristics. It is interesting that some of the subproblems we also meet in staff scheduling in health care. We show that the CSP does not satisfy a fundamental assumption of the meta-heuristic and that the classic Ant System does not work. We accurately implemented Huisman's model for the MDVSP (multi-depot vehicle scheduling problem) and CSP with changeovers and solved his random instances. The quality of solution deviates from those of the IP approach for at most 7 percent and was computed in a few seconds. The acceptability of the solution qualities is shown on the real-world data from the public urban bus transit in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

COBISS.SI-ID: 8602964Computer Science is relatively new science which spans between Science and Engineering and hence uses methods from both sides. If historically computers were self sustained systems processing data, nowadays this is no more the case. Through the development of communications they are interconnected in big distributed systems which we describe as ubiquitous systems. In a research program Pervasive Computing we research new computational paradigms and strongly connected computational systems that jointly collect and process data and/or information. The processed information is used by various services to in a context of user's activity. This way the complete system adapts itself according to the user according to her/his business and home environment. Moreover, it ensures security, privacy and prevents frauds in public places.
