- A vision for strengthening world-class research infrastructures in the ERA
-
1 March 2010
Research infrastructures (RIs) lie at the heart of the knowledge triangle – the beneficial combination of research activity, specialised education/training and innovation that advances our knowledge and understanding across all scientific domains. European research infrastructures are the large-scale or singular facilities, scientific instruments, distributed facilities and interconnected networks, funded by Member States and supported by Community budget of the European Union and shared widely within and between scientific research communities. The processes of identifying, funding, designing, developing, constructing, managing and sharing such infrastructures are complex and costly. Yet the efficient and timely realisation of all these processes is vital to the healthy development and more rapid implementation of the European Research Area (ERA).

- Security Issues in Cross-border Electronic Authentication
-
1 March 2010
European citizens moving freely through EU face the problem that their eID documents from the home country do not allow access to the electronic services of another Member State where they are present. Considerable efforts have been made in several projects to face the challenges of pan-European interoperability of electronic authentication and to assess the feasibility of differing approaches. This report analyses the security risks of electronic authentication in cross-border solutions, in the light of two projects, NETC@RDS and STORK.

- Achieving Efficiency Improvements in the Health sector through ICTs - OECD final report
-
23 February 2010
This report presents an analysis of OECD countries' efforts to implement information and communication technologies (ICTs) in health care systems. It provides advice on the range of policy options, conditions and practices that policy makers can adapt to their own national circumstances to accelerate adoption and effective use of these technologies. The analysis draws upon a considerable body of recent literature and in, particular, lessons learned from case studies in six OECD countries (Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the United States), all of which reported varying degrees of success deploying health ICT solutions.

The "Learning discriminative distance functions for valve retrieval and improved decision support in valvular heart disease" paper presents a framework for retrieval and decision support using learning based discriminative distance functions and visualization of patient similarity with relative neighborhood graphsbased on shape and derived features. The generic approach enables for learning arbitrary user-dened concepts of similarity depending on the application. This is demonstrated with the proposed applications, including automated diagnosis and inter- ventional suitability classication, where classication rates of up to 88.9% and 85.9% could be observed on a set of valve models from 288 and 102 patients respectively.
