identifying institutional diagnostic reference levels for ct with radiation dose index Monitoring Software
Radiology, 2015Co-Authors: Kate Macgregor, Iris Li, Timothy Dowdell, Bruce GrayAbstract:An evidence-based method can be applied when using automated electronic methods of tracking radiation dose metrics to determine if CT radiation exposure by protocol and equipment is as low as reasonably achievable, or ALARA.

Monitoring Software requirements using instrumented code
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2002Co-Authors: William N RobinsonAbstract:Ideally, Software is derived from requirements whose properties have been established as good. However, it is difficult to define and analyze requirements. Moreover derivation of Software from requirements is error prone. Finally, the installation and use of compiled Software can introduce errors. Thus, it can be difficult to provide assurances about the state of a Software's execution. We present a framework to monitor the requirements of Software as it executes. The framework is general, and allows for automated support. The current implementation uses a combination of assertion and model checking to inform the monitor. We focus on two issues: (1) the expression of "suspect requirements", and (2) the transparency of the Software and its environment to the monitor. We illustrate these issues with the widely known problems of the Dining Philosophers and the CCITT X.509 authentication. Each are represented as Java programs which are then instrumented and monitored.

participant experiences in a smartphone based health coaching intervention for type 2 diabetes a qualitative inquiry
Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, 2016Co-Authors: Sarah Pludwinski, Farah Ahmad, Noah Wayne, Paul RitvoAbstract:IntroductionWe investigated the experience of individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who participated in an intervention in which the key elements were the provision of a smartphone and self-Monitoring Software. The interviews focused on use of a smartphone and the effects on motivation for health behavior change.MethodsThis was a qualitative evaluation of participants in a larger T2DM self-management randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted at the Black Creek Community Health Centre (BCCHC) in Toronto, Canada (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02036892). The study is based on semi-structured interviews (n = 11) that were audio taped and analyzed with a thematic analytic approach. The RCT compared the effectiveness of six months of smartphone-based self-Monitoring and health coaching with a control group who received health coaching without internet or smartphone-based assistance.ResultsQualitative data analyses resulted in derivation of four major themes that describe participant e...

a Software framework for data quality Monitoring in atlas
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2008Co-Authors: S Kolos, A Corsoradu, H K Hadavand, M Hauschild, R KehoeAbstract:Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is an important and integral part of the data taking and data reconstruction of HEP experiments. In an online environment, DQM provides the shift crew with live information beyond basic Monitoring. This is used to overcome problems promptly and help avoid taking faulty data. During the off-line reconstruction DQM is used for more complex analysis of physics quantities and its results are used to assess the quality of the reconstructed data. The Data Quality Monitoring Software Framework (DQMF) which has been provided for the ATLAS experiment performs analysis of Monitoring data through user defined algorithms and relays the summary of the analysis results to the configurable Data Quality output stream. From this stream the results can be stored to a database, displayed on a GUI, or used to make some other relevant actions with respect to the operational environment i.e. sending alarms, stopping the run. This paper describes the implementation of the DQMF and discusses experience from usage and performance of the DQMF during ATLAS commissioning.

online Monitoring Software framework in the atlas experiment
arXiv: High Energy Physics - Experiment, 2003Co-Authors: S Kolos, I Alexandrov, A Amorim, M Barczyk, E Badescu, D Burckhartchromek, Mihai Caprini, J Da Silva Conceicao, M Dobson, J FlammerAbstract:A fast, efficient and comprehensive Monitoring system is a vital part of any HEP experiment. This paper describes the Software framework that will be used during ATLAS data taking to monitor the state of the data acquisition and the quality of physics data in the experiment. The framework has been implemented by the Online Software group of the ATLAS Trigger&Data Acquisition (TDAQ) project and has already been used for several years in the ATLAS test beams at CERN. The inter-process communication in the framework is implemented via CORBA, which provides portability between different operating systems and programming languages. This paper will describe the design and the most important aspects of the online Monitoring framework implementation. It will also show some test results, which indicate the performance and scalability of the current implementation.
