The first edition of _Applying UML and Patterns_ became a standard. The second edition uses the unified process (UP) as the interactive process within which OOA/D is introduced and extends the case study used in the first edition. Other changes have been made to reflect the growing consensus on the most effective ways to work with OOA/D and patterns. Although you will learn UML this isn't what _Applying UML and Patterns_ is all about. It's designed to teach you to think of software as a collection of objects with properties and to manipulate the relationships between them. This is far more profound. The case study enables Craig Larman to carry the design through to Java code. In practice you will need a basic understanding of OO programming to benefit from _Applying UML and Patterns_ though you needn't know Java--you could implement the designs in the OO language of your choice with equal facility. When it comes right down to it, _Applying UML and Patterns_ is all about providing you with a language in which to think about software design. This is quite a different from learning a language in which to code a design. A facility with OOA/D will enable you to design and discuss programs independent of code, to produce more elegant and maintainable software and to take a 30,000-foot view of the way your software interacts with the world. In effect, it can shift your viewpoint from that of a mechanic to the more sophisticated viewpoint of an engineer. --_Steve Patient_ Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process (2nd Edition) Craig Larman (13 July 2001) 2008-07-15T20:27:15-00:00 2001 Prentice Hall PTR no-tag http://www.citeulike.org/user/malenitah2/article/2709781 <i>(31 July 2008)</i><br /><br />Introduction to Information Retrieval is the first textbook with a coherent treatment of classical and web information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering. Written from a computer science perspective, it gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections. Designed as the primary text for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in information retrieval, the book will also interest researchers and professionals. A complete set of lecture slides and exercises that accompany the book are available on the web.

DESIGN: We performed a lexical and semantic analysis of 2,689,166 queries issued on PubMed over 24 consecutive hours on a typical day. MEASUREMENTS: We measured the number of queries, number of distinct users, queries per user, terms per query, common terms, Boolean operator use, common phrases, result set size, MeSH categories, used semantic measurements to group queries into sessions, and studied the addition and removal of terms from consecutive queries to gauge search strategies. RESULTS: The size of the result sets from a sample of queries showed a bimodal distribution, with peaks at approximately 3 and 100 results, suggesting that a large group of queries was tightly focused and another was broad. Like Web search engine sessions, most PubMed sessions consisted of a single query. However, PubMed queries contained more terms. CONCLUSION: PubMed's usage profile should be considered when educating users, building user interfaces, and developing future biomedical information retrieval systems. A day in the life of PubMed: analysis of a typical day's query log. JR Herskovic LY Tanaka W Hersh EV Bernstam doi:10.1197/jamia.M2191 J Am Med Inform Assoc, Vol. 14, No. 2.

The same is true in Web site logs where queries and later actions are recorded from search engine referrers or from an internal search box. In this paper we present two applications based in analyzing and clustering queries. The first one suggest changes to improve the text and structure of a Web site and the second does relevance ranking boosting and query recommendation in search engines.

The aim was to find the range of tasks that need to be supported and the components needed to do this in a general query system. This enabled a set of evaluation criteria to be used to assess both the biology and mechanical nature of general query systems. RESULTS: A classification of the biological content of the tasks gathered offers a checklist for those tasks (and their specialisations) that should be offered in a general bioinformatics query system. This semantic analysis was contrasted with a syntactic analysis that revealed the small number of components required to describe all bioinformatics questions. Both the range of biological tasks and syntactic task components can be seen to provide a set of bioinformatics requirements for general query systems. These requirements were used to evaluate two bioinformatics query systems. A classification of tasks in bioinformatics.

SETTING: General practices in Iowa. PARTICIPANTS: 9 academic generalist doctors, 14 family doctors, and 2 medical librarians. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: A taxonomy of obstacles encountered while searching for evidence based answers to doctors' questions. RESULTS: 59 obstacles were encountered and organised according to the five steps in asking and answering questions: recognise a gap in knowledge, formulate a question, search for relevant information, formulate an answer, and use the answer to direct patient care. Six obstacles were considered particularly salient by the investigators and practising doctors: the excessive time required to find information; difficulty modifying the original question, which was often vague and open to interpretation; difficulty selecting an optimal strategy to search for information; failure of a seemingly appropriate resource to cover the topic; uncertainty about how to know when all the relevant evidence has been found so that the search can stop; and inadequate synthesis of multiple bits of evidence into a clinically useful statement. CONCLUSIONS: Many obstacles are encountered when asking and answering questions about how to care for patients. Addressing these obstacles could lead to better patient care by improving clinically oriented information resources. Obstacles to answering doctors' questions about patient care with evidence: qualitative study.

(June 2007), pp. 236-251.</i><br /><br />The published medical literature and online medical resources are important sources to help physicians make patient treatment decisions. Traditional sources used for information retrieval (e.g., PubMed) often return a list of documents in response to a user's query. Frequently the number of returned documents from large knowledge repositories is large and makes information seeking practical only "after hours" and not in the clinical setting. This study developed novel algorithms, and designed, implemented, and evaluated a medical definitional question answering system (MedQA). MedQA automatically analyzed a large number of electronic documents to generate short and coherent answers in response to definitional questions (i.e., questions with the format of "What is X?"). Our preliminary cognitive evaluation shows that MedQA out-performed three other online information systems (Google, OneLook, and PubMed) in two important efficiency criteria; namely, time spent and number of actions taken for a physician to identify a definition. It is our contention that question answering systems that aggregate pertinent information scattered across different documents have the potential to address clinical information needs within a timeframe necessary to meet the demands of clinicians.

DESIGN: Qualitative analysis of questions asked by 48 randomly selected generalist physicians during ambulatory care. MEASUREMENTS: Frequency of reported obstacles to answering patient-care questions and recommendations from physicians for improving clinical information resources. RESULTS: The physicians asked 1,062 questions but pursued answers to only 585 (55%). The most commonly reported obstacle to the pursuit of an answer was the physician's doubt that an answer existed (52 questions, 11%). Among pursued questions, the most common obstacle was the failure of the selected resource to provide an answer (153 questions, 26%). During audiotaped interviews, physicians made 80 recommendations for improving clinical information resources. For example, they requested comprehensive resources that answer questions likely to occur in practice with emphasis on treatment and bottom-line advice. They asked for help in locating information quickly by using lists, tables, bolded subheadings, and algorithms and by avoiding lengthy, uninterrupted prose. CONCLUSION: Physicians do not seek answers to many of their questions, often suspecting a lack of usable information. When they do seek answers, they often cannot find the information they need. Clinical resource developers could use the recommendations made by practicing physicians to provide resources that are more useful for answering clinical questions. Answering physicians' clinical questions: obstacles and potential solutions. JW Ely JA Osheroff ML Chambliss MH Ebell ME Rosenbaum doi:10.1197/jamia.M1608 J Am Med Inform Assoc, Vol. 12, No. 2.

Design: Use of 295 questions asked by Oregon primary care doctors to modify previously developed taxonomy of 1101 clinical questions asked by Iowa family doctors. Setting: Primary care practices in Iowa and Oregon. Participants: Random samples of 103 Iowa family doctors and 49 Oregon primary care doctors. Main outcome measures: Consensus among seven investigators on a meaningful taxonomy of generic questions; interrater reliability among 11 individuals who used the taxonomy to classify a random sample of 100 questions: 50 from Iowa and 50 from Oregon. Results: The revised taxonomy, which comprised 64 generic question types, was used to classify 1396 clinical questions. The three commonest generic types were "What is the drug of choice for condition x?" (150 questions, 11%); "What is the cause of symptom x?" (115 questions, 8%); and "What test is indicated in situation x?" (112 questions, 8%). The mean interrater reliability among 11 coders was moderate ([kappa]=0.53, agreement 55%). Conclusions: Clinical questions in primary care can be categorised into a limited number of generic types. A moderate degree of interrater reliability was achieved with the taxonomy developed in this study. The taxonomy may enhance our understanding of doctors' information needs and improve our ability to meet those needs. 10.1136/bmj.321.7258.429 A taxonomy of generic clinical questions: classification study John Ely Jerome Osheroff Paul Gorman Mark Ebell Lee Chambliss Eric Pifer Zoe Stavri doi:10.1136/bmj.321.7258.429 BMJ, Vol. 321, No. 7258.

(7 August 1999), pp. 358-361.</i><br /><br />Objectives: To characterise the information needs of family doctors by collecting the questions they asked about patient care during consultations and to classify these in ways that would be useful to developers of knowledge bases. Design: Observational study in which investigators visited doctors for two half days and collected their questions. Taxonomies were developed to characterise the clinical topic and generic type of information sought for each question. Setting: Eastern Iowa. Participants: Random sample of 103 family doctors. Main outcome measures: Number of questions posed, pursued, and answered; topic and generic type of information sought for each question; time spent pursuing answers; information resources used. Results: Participants asked a total of 1101 questions. Questions about drug prescribing, obstetrics and gynaecology, and adult infectious disease were most common and comprised 36% of all questions. The taxonomy of generic questions included 69 categories; the three most common types, comprising 24% of all questions, were "What is the cause of symptom X?" "What is the dose of drug X?" and "How should I manage disease or finding X?" Answers to most questions (702, 64%) were not immediately pursued, but, of those pursued, most (318, 80%) were answered. Doctors spent an average of less than 2 minutes pursuing an answer, and they used readily available print and human resources. Only two questions led to a formal literature search. Conclusions: Family doctors in this study did not pursue answers to most of their questions. Questions about patient care can be organised into a limited number of generic types, which could help guide the efforts of knowledge base developers. Key messages Questions that doctors have about the care of their patients could help guide the content of medical information sources and medical training In this study of US family doctors, participants frequently had questions about patient care but did not pursue answers to most questions (64%) On average, participants spent less than 2 minutes seeking an answer to a question The most common resources used to answer questions included textbooks and colleagues; formal literature searches were rarely performed The most common generic questions were "What is the cause of symptom X?" "What is the dose of drug X?" and "How should I manage disease or finding X?"

The conceptual architecture has been proposed to be used for a semantic representation of the informative content of a collection of documents and for the organisation of the document collection itself. The hypertext environment is based on a set of functions that permits one to exploit the potential capabilities of the two-level architecture. Those functions are presented in detail. The paper reports some results of a more general project whose final goal is the definition of a new model for information retrieval: a model with information retrieval capabilities embedded within a hypertext environment. Finally, an outline is presented of the characteristics of a prototype, named HYPERLINE, of the hypertext environment. This prototype has been developed by the Information Retrieval Service of the European Space Agency (ESA-IRS).

Medical students, statistics students, clinical researchers, pharmaceutical sales representatives Statistics are complicated, but to a large extent this is a reflection of the way in which they are taught. In this book, Dr Bahkar takes a back-to-basics approach to explaining statistics specifically for a medically literate audience. Based on the successful "Practical Issues in Clinical Trial Design" series published in Remedica's flagship journal Clinical Researcher, and supplemented by key contributions from other leading international experts, each article provides essential background information to each topic, explores its meaning, and explains how and when it should be applied. Readers will gain not only an understanding of the basics of medical statistics, but also critical insight into how to review and evaluate clinical trial evidence.

DESIGN: Construction and analysis of a database of trials conducted wholly or partly in Africa and reported before 2004. DATA SOURCES: CENTRAL, Medline, Embase, and LILACS. RESULTS: Our comprehensive search yielded 284 distinct records that were potentially eligible for inclusion in the database. Of these, 150 articles reported on 77 eligible trials published or reported from 1987 to 2003. Seven trials were identified exclusively from the CENTRAL database. Trials were conducted in 18 of 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. None were conducted in north Africa. Only 19 had a principal investigator located in an African country. Forty two trials assessed prevention and 35 assessed treatment. Most studies were funded by government agencies outside Africa (n = 43), with the pharmaceutical industry providing partial support to 16 of these. The pharmaceutical industry provided full or partial support to a further 18 trials. Only 43 trials reported conducting a power calculation for determining sample size. There was no mention of ethical approval or informed consent in 19 and 17 trials, respectively. CONCLUSION: The relatively small number of HIV/AIDS trials conducted in Africa is not commensurate with the burden of disease. Geographical mapping as an adjunct to prospective trial registration is a useful tool for researchers and decision makers to track existing and future trials.

The motivation for the framework is to create explanatory and predictive theories of information searching to improve the design of information retrieval (IR) systems. The framework proposes a taxonomy of components for process models of the information seeking task, information need types and knowledge sources necessary to support the task. The framework is developed into a preliminary version of a cognitive theory of information searching by the addition of strategies and correspondence rules which predict user behaviour in different task stages according to information need types, facilities provided by the IR system and knowledge held by the user. The theory is evaluated by using claims analysis based on empirical observations of users information retrieval and by a walkthrough of an IR session to investigate how well the theory can account for empirical evidence. Results show that the theory can indicate the expert strategies which should be followed in different task contexts but predictions of actual user behaviour are less accurate.

Flickr, Delicious, Technorati and many others have all featured a tag cloud at some point in their history. However, it is unclear whether the tag cloud is actually useful as an aid to finding information. We conducted an experiment, giving participants the option of using a tag cloud or a traditional search interface to answer various questions. We found that where the information-seeking task required specific information, participants preferred the search interface. Conversely, where the information-seeking task was more general, participants preferred the tag cloud. While the tag cloud is not without value, it is not sufficient as the sole means of navigation for a folksonomy-based dataset. 10.1177/0165551506078083 The folksonomy tag cloud: When is it useful?

Shared metadata creation - especially in the form of adding tags - enhances structured access to information. Moreover, usage of tags may give hints about people with similar interests and similar ways of thinking and speaking. The goal of this thesis is to explore the potential of tags to construct social networks and to identify groups with shared contexts that assure a common understanding of tags and related resources. These shared contexts are the basis for deriving recommendations to realize social navigation. Founded on theories from social network analysis, the field of social navigation and concepts like folksonomies and transactive memories we will propose a framework for social navigation based on tagging. We will apply this framework in the implementation of a prototype called GROOP.US to show practicability of the chosen approach.

Bowker and Susan Leigh Star, covers a lot of conceptual ground in its effort to sort out exactly how and why we classify and categorize the things and concepts we encounter day to day. But the analysis doesn't stop there; the authors go on to explore what happens to our thinking as a result of our classifications. With great insight and precise academic language, they pick apart our information systems and language structures that lie deeper than the everyday categories we use. The authors focus first on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a widely used scheme used by health professionals worldwide, but also look at other health information systems, racial classifications used by South Africa during apartheid, and more.<p> Though it comes off as a bit too academic at times (by the end of the 20th century, most writers should be able to get the spelling of McDonald's restaurant right), the book has a clever charm that thoughtful readers will surely appreciate. A sly sense of humor sneaks into the writing, giving rise to the chapter title "The Kindness of Strangers," for example. After arguing that categorization is both strongly influenced by and a powerful reinforcer of ideology, it follows that revolutions (political or scientific) must change the way things are sorted in order to throw over the old system. Who knew that such simple, basic elements of thought could have such far-reaching consequences?

It is hypothesized that visualization of participation could contribute to successful CSCL. A CSCL-environment was augmented with the Participation Tool (PT). The PT visualizes how much each group member contributes to his or her group's online communication. Using a posttest-only design with a treatment (N = 52) and a control group (N = 17), it was examined whether students with access to the PT participated more and more equally during collaboration, reported higher awareness of group processes and activities, collaborated differently, and performed better than students without access to the PT. The results show that students used the PT quite intensively. Furthermore, compared to control group students, treatment group students participated more and engaged more in coordination and regulation of social activities during collaboration by sending more statements that addressed the planning of social activities. However, equality of participation, awareness of group processes and quality of the group products was not higher in the treatment condition. Still, the results of this study demonstrate that visualization of participation can contribute to successful CSCL.
