This paper proposes an infrastructure with a global workflow management algorithm in order to interconnect facilities and reporting units on a single access interface, decrease the access time of medical images and increase the efficiency of the reporting process. The inspection and radiologist attributes extracted by Grid Agent are modelled using a hierarchical ontology structure based on Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Conformance and DICOM Content Mapping Resource and World Health Organization (WHO) definitions. Attribute preferences rated by radiologists and technical experts or inferred by references are formed into reciprocal matrixes. Weights for entities are calculated utilizing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The assignment alternatives are processed by relation-based semantic matching (RBSM) and Integer Linear Programming (ILP). The results are evaluated based on turnaround time, workload and report quality and compared with the outcomes obtained by applying Round Robin, Shortest Queue and Random distribution policies.

An Infrastructure for efficient reporting workflow in grid based teleradiology applications
Yılmaz, Ayhan Ozan; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2015)
This study proposes an infrastructure with a global workflow management algorithm in order to interconnect facilities, reporting units and radiologists on a single access interface. This infrastructure is enhanced by a reporting workflow optimization algorithm (RWOA) to determine the optimum match between the inspection and radiologist in terms of experience, subspeciality, response time and workload parameters. RWOA increases the efficiency of the reporting process by decreasing access time to medical images a...

A Petri Net-based inference network for design automation under nondeterminism applied to mechatronic systems
Erden, Zühal; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erden, Abdülkadir (1998-09-11)
This paper introduces the completed part of an ongoing research, in which a Petri Net-based design inference network is developed for the representation and analysis of the functions and their interrelationships through information flow for the conceptual design stage of mechatronic systems in order to facilitate design automation. The theoretical framework behind the network is based on transition of Hybrid Automata into Petri Nets and application of this framework is introduced by a mechatronic design exa...
A workflow system through cooperating agents for control and document flow over the internet
Doğaç, Asuman; Tambag, Y; Tumer, A; Ezbiderli, M; Tatbul, N; Hamali, N; Icdem, C; Beeri, C (2000-01-01)
In this paper we describe in architecture that provides for automating and monitoring the flow of control and document over the Internet among different organizations, thereby creating a platform necessary to describe higher order processes involving several organizations and companies. The higher order process is designed through a graphical user interface and is executed through cooperating agents that are automatically initialized at cacti site that the process executes. Agents handle the activities at t...
A new stack architecture for sensor networks
Eroğlu, Muammer; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, a new stack architecture for sensor networks is proposed. The stack consists of the following layers: application, query, aggregation, network, MAC and physical. Various algorithms are implemented using this stack and it is shown that this stack is modular. Following an overview of sensor networks, the previous protocol stack suggestions for sensor networks are examined. Sensor network algorithms that can be classified as sensor data management systems are surveyed and compared with each oth...
