Support systems for medical decision making.

Abstract

The explosion of technological solutions and communications options makes a "wait-and-see" attitude prudent for the short term. Spending the large amount of computer cost and staff time developing global systems for each medical entity seems fraught with inefficiency at this time. No vendor has the correct product for our needs. How could they, when we don't even know what our needs are in this revolutionary environment? Any system you buy today will be obsolete tomorrow if it does not have a "meta" function for ongoing adjustment.

Intelligent ship traffic monitoring for oil spill prevention: risk based decision support building on AIS.

The paper describes a model, which estimates the risk levels of individual crude oil tankers. The intended use of the model, which is ready for trial implementation at The Norwegian Coastal Administrations new Vardø VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) centre, is to facilitate the comparison of ships and to support a risk based decision on which ships to focus attention on. For a VTS operator, tasked with monitoring hundreds of ships, this is a valuable decision support tool. The model answers the question, "Which ships are likely to produce an oil spill accident, and how much is it likely to spill?".
