Summary: Health Information Technology (HIT) systems such as Electronic Health Record (EHR), Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) are reported to have potential benefits that include improving physicians` performance, patients` outcome and reducing healthcare cost among others. The benefits that

Summary: Machines lack analytical and deduction capabilities to understand the gigantic reservoirs of data. The knowledge behind the data remains largely un-extracted. On the other hand, information retrieval mechanisms do not perform well in natural language environment. Search engines perform document-level analysis rather than content-level

Summary: The emergence of mobile government (m-government) has resulted in improved transaction facilities for both government and citizens, providing a medium through which government services and transactions are delivered. Studies related to the m-government interface have focused on usability, neglecting end users’ views. Optimal design,

Summary: Representing, analysing and modelling natural and artificially-existing systems into complex networks provides a useful insight into understanding the behaviour of these networks in detail and predicting their future. Such networks share the common property that their vertex connectivity follows a scale-free behaviour due to their evo

Summary: Genetic information encoding in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and DNA manipulation techniques contributes to the advancement of computing technology; namely DNA computing. However, the research in the counterpart of automata in formal language theory which is grammars, of Watson-Crick automata that is one of DNA computing models, has ye
