Visualising Discourse Structure in Interactive Documents

In this paper we introduce a method for generating interactive documents which exploits the visual features of hypertext to represent discourse structure. We explore the consistent and principled use of graphics and animation to support navigation and comprehension of non-linear text, where textual discourse markers do not always work effectively

Uma proposta de plataforma de software para integração e interoperabilidade de serviços Web - Webagritec: estudo de caso.

Este trabalho tem por finalidade apresentar os resultados obtidos no contexto do projeto de pesquisa, cujo objetivo foi definir uma infraestrutura de software para implantação de um portal de integração e interoperabilidade de serviços desenvolvidos pela Embrapa Informática Agropecuária denominado WebAgritec.bitstream/item/11850/1/bp19.pd

Um estudo de caso do diagnose virtual na web 2.0.

Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados obtidos na integração do módulo produtor do Diagnose Virtual ao portal WebAgritec visando garantir a interoperabilidade do mesmo. O projeto WebAgritec tem como objetivo desenvolver uma infra-estrutura, concretizada na forma de um website, que integrará vários sistemas desenvolvidos na Embrapa Informática Agropecuária. Um dos principais requisitos deste projeto é interface baseada nos conceitos de interatividade da Web 2.0. Além desse conceito, tecnologias e padrões de projeto próprios para o desenvolvimento de aplicações web e plataformas, bem como comunicação entre seus componentes são investigados. Outros requisitos não funcionais como desempenho e escalabilidade também devem ser analisados.SBIAgro 2009

Algorithm Animation in Flash

Hlavním cílem této práce je prodiskutovat a demonstrovat možnosti animace algortimů v rámci platformy Adobe Flash. Pro uvedení do problematiky je vypracován přehled technologií RIA včetně stručného zhodnocení celé oblasti. Jedna kapitola je věnována vizualizaci jako takové, aby poté mohla vzniknout vlastní implementace vizualizace pro zadanou platformu. Nechybí ani zhodnocení práce a motivace k dalšímu vývoji.The main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to discuss and demonstrate possibilities of an algorithm animation within Adobe Flash platform. The second chapter contains a RIA technologies survey including a short review of the whole area. Another chapter is devoted to visualization in general consequently followed by my own implementation. An evaluation of the entire work and motivation for further development can not be certainly missed out.

EMAAS: An extensible grid-based Rich Internet Application for microarray data analysis and management

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microarray experimentation requires the application of complex analysis methods as well as the use of non-trivial computer technologies to manage the resultant large data sets. This, together with the proliferation of tools and techniques for microarray data analysis, makes it very challenging for a laboratory scientist to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in this field. Our aim was to develop a distributed e-support system for microarray data analysis and management.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>EMAAS (Extensible MicroArray Analysis System) is a multi-user rich internet application (RIA) providing simple, robust access to up-to-date resources for microarray data storage and analysis, combined with integrated tools to optimise real time user support and training. The system leverages the power of distributed computing to perform microarray analyses, and provides seamless access to resources located at various remote facilities. The EMAAS framework allows users to import microarray data from several sources to an underlying database, to pre-process, quality assess and analyse the data, to perform functional analyses, and to track data analysis steps, all through a single easy to use web portal. This interface offers distance support to users both in the form of video tutorials and via live screen feeds using the web conferencing tool EVO. A number of analysis packages, including R-Bioconductor and Affymetrix Power Tools have been integrated on the server side and are available programmatically through the Postgres-PLR library or on grid compute clusters. Integrated distributed resources include the functional annotation tool DAVID, GeneCards and the microarray data repositories GEO, CELSIUS and MiMiR. EMAAS currently supports analysis of Affymetrix 3' and Exon expression arrays, and the system is extensible to cater for other microarray and transcriptomic platforms.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>EMAAS enables users to track and perform microarray data management and analysis tasks through a single easy-to-use web application. The system architecture is flexible and scalable to allow new array types, analysis algorithms and tools to be added with relative ease and to cope with large increases in data volume.</p

Hospital Virtual: Sistema de información clínica y telecuidado de pacientes VIH/SIDA basado en tecnologías Web 2.0

Este artículo describe el desarrollo de un nuevo sistema de información clínica y telecuidado de pacientes VIH/SIDA que se encuentra implantado en rutina clínica dentro del Servicio de Enfermedades Infecciosas del Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. El proyecto surge ante la necesidad de unificar el sistema de información departamental del servicio y un sistema de telemedicina instalado en el hospital en 2004. Para ello se han diseñado e implementado nuevas bases de datos y dos sistemas específicos para uso de profesionales y pacientes. Además, se ha realizado una integración con el Sistema de Información del Hospital (HIS) permitiendo el acceso a todos los datos requeridos de los pacientes desde una única aplicación. Este nuevo sistema está al servicio de más de 70 profesionales sanitarios que realizan una media de 150 consultas al día disponiendo de información clínica de más de 8000 pacientes

AJAX Based Online Shopping Application

This document briefly explains the building of an e-commerce web application that implemented AJAX as defined for the latest available Web 2.0 technologies. It is a major intent of the project to introduce selected company and consumers an e-commerce web application that features increases in its interactivity, speed, functionality and usability. The web application is meant for the chosen SME Company to promote and make sales of their products through the internet more efficiently and effectively. Previously, customers for the company were people local to the company location. Deals were often handled face to face. Fortunately, this can be very much more improved by implementations taken by the project. Instead of only relying on sales made at their sales office, the products will be put onto display as for purchase on the new web application. Another important task of this project is also to improve the communications between seller and buyer. The seller or company contact details are provided at the web application. The project also worked on improving the methods of holding related business deals and transactions to be more efficiently done and secure. This is as well to expand their business into a much larger market hence increasing the opportunities of producing more profits and company size. This project is also motivated to change the users experience in browsing web applications. In the past few years and as it still is now, much of the internet applications rely on the server-client model. Other than the quality of existing web applications designs, the physical attributes of the networking local to each user distinguish one experience from another. The implementations made in this project overcome problems that may arise from that aspect. For example, people that had previously been unnecessarily put to wait just for their page reloads to appear can now have faster response from the web application. One of the major causes to this is the ability ofAJAX to make asynchronous calls to the web application server
