A potential new generation computing environment is emerging which combines wiki technology with semantic web concepts. This has brought about the fusion of the wiki execution ecosystem, a semantic web for model-driven applications, and a high-level language as an extension to wiki text for accelerated development. Semantic MediaWiki provides this platform and a fragment of a health record, including allergy intolerance as structured in HL7 FHIR with terminology bindings to SNOMED CT and to HL7 terminologies was developed by the author in a short timeframe (approximately 10 hours). The system navigates around the health record and controls the entry of terms in the record from controlled ValueSets. All terminologies and ValueSets are integrated into the prototype.

SummaryObjectives: Clinical practitioners and medical researchers often have to share health data with other colleagues across Europe. Privacy compliance in this context is very important but challenging. Automated privacy guidelines are a practical way of increasing users’ awareness of privacy obligations and help eliminating unintentional breaches of privacy. In this paper we present an ontology-plus-rules based approach to privacy decision support for the sharing of patient data across European platforms.Methods: We use ontologies to model the required domain and context information about data sharing and privacy requirements. In addition, we use a set of Semantic Web Rule Language rules to reason about legal privacy requirements that are applicable to a specific context of data disclosure. We make the complete set invocable through the use of a semantic web application acting as an interactive privacy guideline system can then invoke the full model in order to provide decision support.Results: When asked, the system will generate privacy reports applicable to a specific case of data disclosure described by the user. Also reports showing guidelines per Member State may be obtained.Conclusion: The advantage of this approach lies in the expressiveness and extensibility of the modelling and inference languages adopted and the ability they confer to reason with complex requirements interpreted from high level regulations. However, the system cannot at this stage fully simulate the role of an ethics committee or review board.

Sensor-based digital systems for Instrumentation and Control (I&C) of nuclear reactors are quite complex in terms of architecture and functionalities. A high-level framework is highly required to pre-evaluate the system’s performance, check the consistency between different levels of abstraction and address the concerns of various stakeholders. In this work, we integrate the development process of I&C systems and the involvement of stakeholders within a model-driven methodology. The proposed approach introduces a new architectural framework that defines various concepts, allowing system implementations and encompassing different development phases, all actors, and system concerns. In addition, we define a new I&C Modeling Language (ICML) and a set of methodological rules needed to build different architectural framework views. To illustrate this methodology, we extend the specific use of an open-source system engineering tool, named Eclipse Papyrus, to carry out many automation and verification steps at different levels of abstraction. The architectural framework modeling capabilities will be validated using a realistic use case system for the protection of nuclear reactors. The proposed framework is able to reduce the overall system development cost by improving links between different specification tasks and providing a high abstraction level of system components.

The design and development of a digital library involves different stakeholders, such as: information architects, librarians, and domain experts, who need to agree on a common language to describe, discuss, and negotiate the services the library has to offer. To this end, high-level, language-neutral models have to be devised. Metamodeling techniques favor the definition of domainspecific visual languages through which stakeholders can share their views and directly manipulate representations of the domain entities. This paper describes CRADLE (Cooperative-Relational Approach to Digital Library Environments), a metamodel-based framework and visual language for the definition of notions and services related to the development of digital libraries. A collection of tools allows the automatic generation of several services, defined with the CRADLE visual language, and of the graphical user interfaces providing access to them for the final user. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated by presenting digital libraries generated with CRADLE, while the CRADLE environment has been evaluated by using the cognitive dimensions framework.

Resumen Los Servicios Web Semánticos ofrecen beneficios, que coadyuvan a la evolución de la Web, como el descubrimiento, invocación y composición dinámica y automática de recursos, habilitan efectivamente la interoperabilidad entre sistemas, permitiendo una amplia gama de nuevos servicios y oportunidades de negocios en la Internet. La estructura necesaria para proveer estos beneficios, hace que su desarrollo sea un proceso complejo, requiriendo establecer formas más fáciles y dinámicas que garanticen reutilización, calidad y rapidez. El desarrollo dirigido por modelos realiza una contribución eficiente en estos aspectos, dado que trabaja de manera intrínseca conceptos como separación de conceptos, reusabilidad e interoperabilidad entre componentes. En este artículo se presenta un enfoque para desarrollo de software dirigido por modelos, orientado al desarrollo de los servicios web semánticos, donde inicialmente se plantean las fases correspondientes al análisis, diseño y desarrollo dentro de la metodología propuesta, aplicando la metodología sobre un pequeño caso de estudio y obtener como resultado la estructura de un Servicio web semántico. Palabras Clave: Servicios web semánticos, Desarrollo dirigido por modelos, ontologías web.   Abstract Semantic Web Services offers benefits that contribute to Web evolution. Benefits such as automatic discovery and invocation, and dynamic composition, effectively enables systems interoperability, allowing a wide range of services and Internet businesses. The necessary structure to provide those benefits by Semantic Web Services makes its development a complex process. It necessary to establish more easy and dynamic ways to develop this kind of software, in order to assure reuse, quality and speediness in the development process. The model-driven software development makes an efficient contribution in those aspect, because it works intrinsically concepts related such separation of concerns, reusability and components interoperability. In this paper we present an approach to model-driven development software applied to Semantic Web Services. First, we establish the phases corresponding to the analysis, design and development in the proposal methodology, by applying it to a case of study we obtain the structure of a Semantic Web Services. Keywords: Semantic Web Services, Model-Driven Development, Web Ontologies.

В статье представлены данные оригинального исследования по созданию терапевтического комплекса, направленного на улучшение интенсивного лечения нозологической ассоциации «нестабильная стенокардия (в качестве основного заболевания) + сахарный диабет второго типа (в качестве фоновой патологии) + гипервентиляционный синдром (в качестве сопутствующего состояния)». Разработанный комплекс основан на контролируемом изменении вспомогательной респираторной оксигенации «в сторону уменьшения» при условии обязательного дополнения базисной фармакотерапии сбалансированной комбинацией препаратов антигипоксического действия и дезагрегантом нового поколения. Проведено сравнительное исследование двух групп тематических пациентов - с применением разработанного комплекса и с использованием «традиционного подхода». Изучены ключевые параметры клинического кардиологического и респираторно-метаболического статуса пациентов. При использовании разработанного терапевтического комплекса по сравнению с «традиционным подходом» установлено принципиальное улучшение параметров клинико-кардиологического статуса при сохранении параметров респираторно-метаболического статуса в пределах адаптивных и безопасных значений. Полученные результаты имеют высокий уровень статистической значимости. Это доказало достаточную обоснованность авторской научно-практической разработки. Представленные в статье данные отличает новизна и практическая применимость, что позволяет рекомендовать их к дальнейшему использованию в практике специалистов клиники внутренних болезней The article presents the data of the original research on the creation of a therapeutic complex aimed at improving the intensive treatment of the nosological association «unstable angina pectoris (as the main disease) + type 2 diabetes mellitus (as a background pathology) + hyperventilation syndrome (as a concomitant condition)». The developed complex is based on a controlled change in auxiliary respiratory oxygenation «downward», provided that basic pharmacotherapy must be supplemented with a balanced combination of antihypoxic drugs and a new generation of antiaggregants. A comparative study of two groups of thematic patients was carried out - using the developed complex and using the «traditional approach». The key parameters of the clinical cardiological and respiratorymetabolic status of patients were studied. When using the developed therapeutic complex in comparison with the «traditional approach», a fundamental improvement in the parameters of the clinical and cardiological status was established while maintaining the parameters of the respiratory and metabolic status within the adaptive and safe values. The results obtained have a high level of statistical significance. This proved the sufficient validity of the author's scientific and practical development. The data presented in the article are distinguished by novelty and practical applicability, which makes it possible to recommend them for further use in the practice of specialists in the clinic of internal diseases

<p>Until recently, our pure Python, primitive equation ocean model Veros <br>has been about 1.5x slower than a corresponding Fortran implementation. <br>But thanks to a thriving scientific and machine learning library <br>ecosystem, tremendous speed-ups on GPU, and to a lesser degree CPU, are <br>within reach. Leveraging Google's JAX library, we find that our Python <br>model code can reach a 2-5 times higher energy efficiency on GPU <br>compared to a traditional Fortran model.</p><p>Therefore, we propose a new generation of geophysical models: One that <br>combines high-level abstractions and user friendliness on one hand, and <br>that leverages modern developments in high-performance computing and <br>machine learning research on the other hand.</p><p>We discuss what there is to gain from building models in high-level <br>programming languages, what we have achieved in Veros, and where we see <br>the modelling community heading in the future.</p>
