Abstract

Summary: "Poly-chronic disease network is a concept in the management of cost, quality, access, and capacity for those with multiple chronic diseases. By combining existing engineering principles, technologies, and readily-available communal resources, the poly-chronic disease network can be designed and implemented in nearly any community. In addition to background information, this book covers the three core technologies in use today: health information exchanges, dynamic simulation, and home/virtual monitoring. It includes a how-to guide for setting up a PCDN and explains how this management system differs from an accountable care organization"--Provided by publisher.

4. GoDisco: Selective Gossip Based Dissemination of Information in Social Community Based Overlays.

Author

Datta, Anwitaman and Sharma, Rajesh

Abstract

We propose and investigate a gossip based, social principles and behavior inspired decentralized mechanism (GoDisco) to disseminate information in online social community networks, using exclusively social links and exploiting semantic context to keep the dissemination process selective to relevant nodes. Such a designed dissemination scheme using gossiping over a egocentric social network is unique and is arguably a concept whose time has arrived, emulating word of mouth behavior and can have interesting applications like probabilistic publish/subscribe, decentralized recommendation and contextual advertisement systems, to name a few. Simulation based experiments show that despite using only local knowledge and contacts, the system has good global coverage and behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
