Modeling the Internet of Things and People: A Foundational Approach

November 1, 2016
Author(s)
Spencer J. Breiner, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Ram D. Sriram
As we extend the reach of the Internet through sensing and automation, networked systems interact more and more of our daily lives, requiring much greater sensitivity to social networks and greater robustness in the face of human behavior. A tremendous

Detection and characterization of nonspecific, sparsely-populated binding modes for conformational selection in the early stages of complexation

March 18, 2015
Author(s)
Antonio Cardone, Aaron Bornstein, Harish C. Pant, Mary C. Brady, Ram D. Sriram, Sergio Hassan
A method is proposed to study protein-ligand binding in a system governed by specific and non-specific interactions. Strong associations lead to narrow conformational distributions in the proteins configuration space; weak and ultra-weak associations lead

Ontology for Big Systems: The Ontology Summit 2012 Communique

October 16, 2013
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram, Mary C. Brady
The Ontology Summit 2012 explored the current and potential uses of ontology, its methods and paradigms, in big systems and big data: How ontology can be used to design, develop, and operate such systems. The systems addressed were not just software

A Vision of Cyber-Physical Cloud Computing for Smart Networked Systems

August 26, 2013
Author(s)
Eric D. Simmon, Kyoung-sook Kim, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Ryong Lee, Frederic J. de Vaulx, Yohei Murakami, Koji Zettsu, Ram D. Sriram
A key aspect of the next generation Smart Networked System (SNS) is the bridge between the physical and virtual world. These systems that tightly interlink the cyber and physical worlds are often referred to as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A CPS is the

A General Conformance Testing Framework for IEEE 11073 PHD's Communication Model

May 31, 2013
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, Linbin Yu, Yu Lei, David R. Kuhn, Ram D. Sriram, Kevin G. Brady
ISO/IEEE 11073 Personal Health Data (IEEE 11073 PHD) is a set of standards that addresses the interoperability of personal healthcare devices. As an important part of IEEE 11073 PHD, ISO/IEEE 1107-20601 optimized exchange protocol (IEEE 11073-20601)

Towards Ontology Evaluation across the Life Cycle

May 3, 2013
Author(s)
Fabian M. Neuhaus, Amanda Vizedom, Ken Baclawski, Mike Bennet, Mike Dean, Michael Denny, Michael Gruninger, Ali Hashemi, Terry Longstreth, Leo Obrst, Steven R. Ray, Ram D. Sriram, Todd Schneider, Marcela Vegetti, Matthew West, Peter Yim
Currently, there is no agreed on methodology for development of ontologies, and there is no consensus on how ontologies should be evaluated. Consequently, evaluation techniques and tools are not widely utilized in the development of ontologies. This can

Disassembly Process Information Model for Remanufacturing

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Hanmin Lee, Thomas R. Kramer, Che B. Joung, Parisa Ghodous, Ram D. Sriram
The disassembly process is an essential activity performed on out-of-service products for remanufacturing. A disassembly process includes many subprocesses, such as separation, cleaning, repair, replacement, and inspection. The main purpose of performing

Smart Networked Systems and Societies: Research Challenges

November 20, 2012
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram
We are witnessing a new revolution in computing and communication. The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. The next generation of networks will utilize a

Testing the Nations Health care Information Infrastructure

Author(s)
Kevin G. Brady, Ram D. Sriram, Bettijoyce B. Lide, Kathleen M. Roberts
According to a report by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] (http://www.cms.gov), the United States spent nearly $2.6 trillion dollars on health care in 2010. It is estimated that this will nearly double by the end of this decade. This is

Big Data Issues in Quantitative Imaging

Workflow and Electronic Health Records in Small Medical Practices

April 2, 2012
Author(s)
Mala Ramaiah, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Ram D. Sriram, Bettijoyce B. Lide
This paper analyzes the workflow and implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems across different functions in small physician offices. We characterize the differences in the offices based on the levels of computerization in terms of workflow
