In a problem solving environment for geometric computing, a graphical user interface, or GUI, for visualization has become an essential component for geometric software development. In this paper we describe a visualization system, called GeoJAVA, which consists of a GUI and a geometric visualization library that enables the user or algorithm designer to (1) execute and visualize an existing algorithm in the library or (2) develop new code over the Internet. The library consists of geometric code written in C/C++. The GUI is written using the Java programming language. Taking advantage of the socket classes and system-independent application programming interfaces (API's) provided with the Java language, GeoJAVA offers a platform independent environment for distributed geometric computing that combines Java and C/C++. Users may remotely join a "channel" or discussion group in a location transparent manner to do collaborative research. The visualization of an algorithm, a C/C++ program located locally or remotely and controlled by a "floor manager", can be viewed by all the members in the channel through a visualization sheet called GeoJAVASheet. A chat box is also provided to enable dialogue among the members. Furthermore, this system not only allows visualization of pre-compiled geometric code, but also serves as a web-based programming environment where the user may submit a geometric code, compile it with the libraries provided by the system, and visualize it directly over the web sharing it with other users immediately.

There has been significant research in the private sector towards systematic exploitation of the emerging Web 2.0/Web 3.0 and social media paradigms. However, not much has been achieved with regards to the embodiment of similar technologies. Currently, governments and organizations are making considerable efforts, trying to enhance citizens' participation in decision-making and policy-formulation processes. This chapter presents a novel policy analysis framework, proposing a Web-based platform that enables publishing content and micro-applications to multiple Web 2.0 social media and collecting citizens' interactions (e.g. comments, ratings) with efficient use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of these media. Citizens' opinions and interactions can then be processed through different techniques or methods (Web analytics, opinion mining, simulation modeling) in order to use the extracted conclusions as support to government decision and policy makers.

Effective Immunization

Public health agencies established immunization registries - now called Immunization Information Systems (IIS) - to consolidate records across provider locations to support more effective immunization of patients and public health surveillance. While initially collecting data through interactive client-server and then web-based interfaces, IIS now collect the vast majority of their data through automated interfaces to electronic health record (EHR) systems using standard application programming interfaces (API). IIS have sophisticated processing rules for the incoming data to ensure data accuracy and completeness. This paper will review the existing workflow, standards, and processes used by IIS to accept, process, and make immunization data available. This will include a review of emerging standards - Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) - which will likely become dominant over the next few years.

Distributed scientific and engineering computations on service-oriented architectures are often represented as data-driven workflows. Workflows are a convenient abstraction that allows users to compose applications in a visual programming environment, and execute them by means of a workflow execution engine. For a large class of scientific applications web-based portals can provide a user-friendly problem-solving environment that hides the complexities of executing workflow applications in a distributed environment. However, the creation and configuration of an application portal requires considerable expertise in portal technologies, which scientific end-users generally do not have. To address this problem this paper presents tools for automatically converting a workflow into a fully configured portal which can then be used to execute the workflow.

The new possibilities offered by the Java programming environment combined with the accessibility of the World Wide Web present new and interesting perspectives. It is thus now possible to perform simulations directly, using a Web browser, independently of the computer platform being used. Basic concepts of crystallography,i.e.crystal structures, point- and space-group symmetry, lattices, reciprocal lattices and diffraction principles can be illustrated utilizing interactive simulations written in Java. A number of such applications have been developed with the aim to facilitate the understanding of these crystallographic concepts to the newcomers in the field.

Abstract Background and Objective Clinical decision support tools for risk prediction are readily available, but typically require workflow interruptions and manual data entry so are rarely used. Due to new data interoperability standards for electronic health records (EHRs), other options are available. As a clinical case study, we sought to build a scalable, web-based system that would automate calculation of kidney failure risk and display clinical decision support to users in primary care practices. Materials and Methods We developed a single-page application, web server, database, and application programming interface to calculate and display kidney failure risk. Data were extracted from the EHR using the Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture interoperability standard for Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs). EHR users were presented with a noninterruptive alert on the patient’s summary screen and a hyperlink to details and recommendations provided through a web application. Clinic schedules and CCDs were retrieved using existing application programming interfaces to the EHR, and we provided a clinical decision support hyperlink to the EHR as a service. Results We debugged a series of terminology and technical issues. The application was validated with data from 255 patients and subsequently deployed to 10 primary care clinics where, over the course of 1 year, 569 533 CCD documents were processed. Conclusions We validated the use of interoperable documents and open-source components to develop a low-cost tool for automated clinical decision support. Since Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture–based data extraction extends to any certified EHR, this demonstrates a successful modular approach to clinical decision support.

: Computational approaches have been proven to be complementary tools of interest in identifying potential candidates for drug repurposing. However, although the methods developed so far offer interesting opportunities and could contribute to solving issues faced by the pharmaceutical sector, they also come with their constraints. Indeed, specific challenges ranging from data access, standardization and integration to the implementation of reliable and coherent validation methods must be addressed to allow systematic use at a larger scale. In this mini-review, we cover computational tools recently developed for addressing some of these challenges. This includes specific databases providing accessibility to a large set of curated data with standardized annotations, web-based tools integrating flexible user interfaces to perform fast computational repurposing experiments and standardized datasets specifically annotated and balanced for validating new computational drug repurposing methods. Interestingly, these new databases combined with the increasing number of information about the outcomes of drug repurposing studies can be used to perform a meta-analysis to identify key properties associated with successful drug repurposing cases. This information could further be used to design estimation methods to compute a priori assessment of the repurposing possibilities.

The use of information technology these days are very high. From business through education activities tend to use this technology most of the time. Information technology uses computer networks for integration and management data. To avoid business problems, the number of network devices installed requires a manageable network configuration for easier maintenance. Traditionally, each of network devices has to be manually configured by network administrators. This process takes time and inefficient. Network automation methods exist to overcome the repetitive process. Design model uses a web-based application for maintenance and automates networking tasks. In this research, the network automation system implemented and built a controller application that used REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) architecture and built by Django framework with Python programming language. The design modeled namely As-RaD System. The network devices used in this research are Cisco CSR1000V because it supports REST API communication to manage its network configuration and could be placed on the server either. The As-RaD System provides 75% faster performance than Paramiko and 92% than NAPALM.
