Abstract:

Objectives: To investigate the impact of electronic health record (EHR) on diabetes management through examination of the effectiveness of implementation of EHR and to improve the quality of care and the cost-effectiveness on the use of EHR. Methods: Three databases, PubMed, Ovid Medline and Google Scholar, were searched with specific combination keywords including electronic medical record and electronic health record, and diabetes. Quality appraisal and extraction of data were conducted on literature that met with the inclusion criteria. Results: 10 literature studies, a total of 204,251 participants with diabetes, were included in this study. All subjects, with similar demographic and clinical characteristics, were from clinic and primary care setting with the use of EHR. Different outcome measures were compared and to evaluate the effectiveness of EHR on quality of care and cost-effectiveness. Discussion: The impact of EHR on effectiveness of diabetes management, potential factors of barrier for adoption and the limitation for implementation of EHR were discussed. These suggested that further research is needed to have stronger evidence to widespread the use of EHR in Hong Kong as a future direction on public health issue. Conclusion: In this systematic review, EHR showed potential benefit in improving the quality of care and reduce the health care expenditure for long term running. Patient safety and efficiency are yet to be covered in the studies. Further research is needed on the acceptability and applicability of the use of EHR in Hong Kong. published_or_final_version Public Health Master Master of Public Health

Abstract:

Data distribution management (DDM) is a mechanism to interconnect data producers and data consumers in a distributed application. Data producers provide useful data to consumers in the form of messages. For each message produced, DDM determines the set of data consumers interested in receiving the message and delivers it to those consumers. We are particularly interested in DDM techniques for parallel and distributed discrete event simulations. Thus far, researchers have treated synchronization of events (i.e. time management) and DDM independent of each other. This research focuses on how to realize time managed DDM mechanisms. The main reason for time-managed DDM is to ensure that changes in the routing of messages from producers to consumers occur in a correct sequence. Also time managed DDM avoids non-determinism in the federation execution, which may result in non-repeatable executions. An optimistic approach to time managed DDM is proposed where one allows DDM events to be processed out of time stamp order, but a detection and recovery procedure is used to recover from such errors. These mechanisms are tailored to the semantics of the DDM operations to ensure an efficient realization. A correctness proof is presented to verify the algorithm correctly synchronizes DDM events. We have developed a fully distributed implementation of the algorithm within the framework of the Georgia Tech Federated Simulation Development Kit (FDK) software. A performance evaluation of the synchronized DDM mechanism has been completed in a loosely coupled distributed system consisting of a network of workstations connected over a local area network (LAN). We compare time-managed versus unsynchronized DDM for two applications that exercise different mobility patterns: one based on a military simulation and a second utilizing a synthetic workload. The experiments and analysis illustrate that synchronized DDM performance depends on several factors: the simulations model (e.g. lookahead), applications mobility patterns and the network hardware (e.g. size of network buffers). Under certain mobility patterns, time-managed DDM is as efficient as unsynchronized DDM. There are also mobility patterns where time-managed DDM overheads become significant, and we show how they can be reduced.

Abstract:

The problem presented is how to handle encoded data for which the encodings or decodings change with respect to time, and which contains codes indicating that certain data is unknown, invalid, or not applicable with respect to certain entities during certain time periods. It is desirable to build a database management system that is capable of knowing about and being able to handle the changes in encodings and the missing information codes by embedding such knowledge in the data definition structure, in order to remove the necessity of having applications programmers and users constantly worrying about how the data is encoded. The experimental database management language DEFINE is utilized to achieve the desired result, and a database structure is created for a real-life example of data which contains many examples of time-variant encodings and missing information.

Abstract:

Security is important for Centralized Data Base Management Systems (CDBMS) and becomes crucial for Distributed Data Base Management Systems (DDBMS) when different organizations share information. Secure cooperation can be achieved only if each participating organization is assured that the data it makes available will not be abused by other users. In this work differences between CDBMS and DDBMS that characterize the nature of the protection problem in DDBMS are identified. These differences are translated into basic protection requirements. Policies that a distributed data base management protection system should allow are described. The system proposed in this work is powerful enough to satisfy the stated requirements and allow for variations on the policies. This system is a hybrid one where both authorizations and constraints can be defined. The system is termed hybrid because it combines features of both open and closed protection systems. In addition the hybrid system, although designed to offer the flexibility of discretionary systems, incorporates the flow control of information between users, a feature found only in some nondiscretionary systems. Furthermore, the proposed system is said to be integrated because authorizations and constraints can be defined on any of the data bases supported by the system including the data bases containing the authorizations, and the constraints themselves. The hybrid system is incorporated in a general model of DDBMS protection. A modular approach is taken for the design of the model. This approach allows us to represent the different options for the model depending on the set of policy choices taken. Three levels of abstraction describing different aspects of DDBMS protection problems are defined. The conceptual level describes the protection control of the DDBMS transactions and information flows. The logical level is concerned with the interaction between the different organizations participating in the DDBMS. The physical level is involved with the architectural implementation of the logical level. Ph. D.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates novel middleware mechanisms for building streaming applications. Developing streaming applications is a challenging task because (i) they are continuous in nature; (ii) they require fusion of data coming from multiple sources to derive higher level information; (iii) they require efficient transport of data from/to distributed sources and sinks; (iv) they need access to heterogeneous resources spanning sensor networks and high performance computing; and (v) they are time critical in nature. My thesis is that an intuitive programming abstraction will make it easier to build dynamic, distributed, and ubiquitous data streaming applications. Moreover, such an abstraction will enable an efficient allocation of shared and heterogeneous computational resources thereby making it easier for domain experts to build these applications. In support of the thesis, I present a novel programming abstraction, called DFuse, that makes it easier to develop these applications. A domain expert only needs to specify the input and output connections to fusion channels, and the fusion functions. The subsystems developed in this dissertation take care of instantiating the application, allocating resources for the application (via the scheduling heuristic developed in this dissertation) and dynamically managing the resources (via the dynamic scheduling algorithm presented in this dissertation). Through extensive performance evaluation, I demonstrate that the resources are allocated efficiently to optimize the throughput and latency constraints of an application.

Full text

Abstract:

Distributed simulation is an enabling concept to support the networked interaction of models and real world elements that are geographically distributed. This technology has brought a new set of challenging problems to solve, such as Data Distribution Management (DDM). The aim of DDM is to limit and control the volume of the data exchanged during a distributed simulation, and reduce the processing requirements of the simulation hosts by relaying events and state information only to those applications that require them. In this thesis, we propose a new DDM scheme, which we refer to as dynamic grid-based DDM. A lightweight UNT-RTI has been developed and implemented to investigate the performance of our DDM scheme. Our results clearly indicate that our scheme is scalable and it significantly reduces both the number of multicast groups used, and the message overhead, when compared to previous grid-based allocation schemes using large-scale and real-world scenarios.

Abstract:

Data distribution management (DDM) is a High Level Architecture/Run-time Infrastructure (HLA/RTI) service that manages the distribution of state updates and interaction information in large-scale distributed simulations. The key to efficient DDM is to limit and control the volume of data exchanged during the simulation, to relay data to only those hosts requiring the data. This thesis focuses upon different DDM implementations and strategies. This thesis includes analysis of three DDM methods including the fixed grid-based, dynamic grid-based, and region-based methods. Also included is the use of multi-resolution modeling with various DDM strategies and analysis of the performance effects of aggregation/disaggregation with these strategies. Running numerous federation executions, I simulate four different scenarios on a cluster of workstations with a mini-RTI Kit framework and propose a set of benchmarks for a comparison of the DDM schemes. The goals of this work are to determine the most efficient model for applying each DDM scheme, discover the limitations of the scalability of the various DDM methods, evaluate the effects of aggregation/disaggregation on performance and resource usage, and present accepted benchmarks for use in future research.

Archer, David William. "Conceptual Modeling of Data with Provenance." PDXScholar, 2011. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/133.

Full text

Abstract:

Traditional database systems manage data, but often do not address its provenance. In the past, users were often implicitly familiar with data they used, how it was created (and hence how it might be appropriately used), and from which sources it came. Today, users may be physically and organizationally remote from the data they use, so this information may not be easily accessible to them. In recent years, several models have been proposed for recording provenance of data. Our work is motivated by opportunities to make provenance easy to manage and query. For example, current approaches model provenance as expressions that may be easily stored alongside data, but are difficult to parse and reconstruct for querying, and are difficult to query with available languages. We contribute a conceptual model for data and provenance, and evaluate how well it addresses these opportunities. We compare the expressive power of our model's language to that of other models. We also define a benchmark suite with which to study performance of our model, and use this suite to study key model aspects implemented on existing software platforms. We discover some salient performance bottlenecks in these implementations, and suggest future work to explore improvements. Finally, we show that our implementations can comprise a logical model that faithfully supports our conceptual model.

Full text

Abstract:

Cloud computing has rapidly emerged as a new computation paradigm, providing agile and scalable resource access in a utility-like fashion. Processing of massive amounts of data has been a primary usage of the clouds in practice. While many efforts have been devoted to designing the computation models (e.g., MapReduce), one important issue has been largely neglected in this respect: how do we efficiently move the data, practically generated from different geographical locations over time, into a cloud for effective processing? The usual approach of shipping data using hard disks lacks flexibility and security. As the first dedicated effort, this paper tackles this massive, dynamic data migration issue. Targeting a cloud encompassing disparate data centers of different resource charges, we model the cost-minimizing data migration problem, and propose efficient offline and online algorithms, which optimize the routes of data into the cloud and the choice of the data center to aggregate the data for processing, at any give time. Three online algorithms are proposed to practically guide data migration over time. With no need of any future information on the data generation pattern, an online lazy migration (OLM) algorithm achieves a competitive ratio as low as 2:55 under typical system settings, and a work function algorithm (WFA) has a linear 2K-1 (K is the number of data centers) competitive ratio. The rest one randomized fixed horizon control algorithm (RFHC) achieves 1+ 1/(l+1 ) κ/λ competitive ratio in theory with a lookahead window of l into the future, where κ and λ are protocol parameters. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate our online algorithms, using real-world meteorological data generation traces, under realistic cloud settings. Comparisons among online and offline algorithms show a close-to-offline-optimum performance and demonstrate the effectiveness of our online algorithms in practice. published_or_final_version Computer Science Master Master of Philosophy

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited While the Internet and related advances in communications technology provide significant opportunity for the federal government to vastly improve the delivery of information and services, success ultimately depends on government managers effectively redesigning industrial age processes for the information age. This thesis is intended as a guide for government managers interested in redesigning processes for the information age. Using a case study of a Department of Defense process for transferring conventional ammunition among the military services (cross-leveling), we demonstrate improved intragovernmental efficiency and effectiveness by employing best practices in business process redesign. After providing an overview of the existing cross-leveling process, each stage of Business Process Redesign is discussed and applied to the crossleveling case. Activity Based Costing and Knowledge Value Added are used in evaluating the existing process and for providing a measure of process improvement. Using a three-tier architecture, a prototype application was constructed to help visualize the redesigned process and demonstrate the underlying technology. The concepts and processes used in the crossleveling case study can be easily applied to other government processes.

Abstract:

This thesis implements a part of the front-end software, the Optimizer, of the distributed database system being developed at Virginia Tech. The Optimizer generates a strategy for optimal query processing, and it presents and analyzes a given query by means of query trees and query graphs. This thesis develops PASCAL procedures that implement quantitative and qualitative rules to select query graphs requiring minimum communication costs. To develop the rules, the size of the temporary files generated after performing each required operation is estimated. The focus of this work is on the implementation of a new technique for estimating the temporary file sizes. Detailed discussion of this implementation is presented and illustrated with a complete example, followed by a comparison with one of the existing methods proposed by Dwyer. M.S.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes the social significance of the integration of the home into computer networks. The social significance of home networking is grasped when these systems are understood in their relationship to emerging forms of electronic social control. The thesis establishes this connection through an analysis of structural trends in the videotex industry which demonstrates the value to the corporate sector of cybernetic information generated by interactive systems. The North American tradition of privacy policy is reviewed and demonstrated as inadequate for the protection of personal privacy in home networking. It is further shown that privacy policy does not represent an adequate theorization of social control in computer networking, since it does not account for practices of aggregate social control, which have been termed in the thesis "social management," so vital to the cybernetic economy of late capitalism. Finally, the thesis argues that current conceptual frameworks and policy mechanisms cannot assure the socially beneficial development of home networking, given the tendency towards the integration of such systems into structures of social control.
