SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Niazi, M., Siddique, Q., Hussain, A., & Fortino, G. (2011, September). SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models. Presented at 2011 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS), Szczecin, Poland

The design, development and testing of intelligent disaster detection and alerting systems pose a set of non-trivial problems. Not only are such systems difficult to design as they need to accurately predict real-world outcomes using a distributed se...

Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farooq, K., Hussain, A., Leslie, S., Eckl, C., & Slack, W. (2011, May). Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system. Presented at 2011 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops, Dublin, Ireland

We discuss work-in-progress and propose an ontology driven framework for the development of a clinical expert system for chest pain risk assessment. The framework has the following key components: adaptive questionnaire, patient medical history, risk... Read More about Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system.

A side-effects mapping model in patients with lung, colorectal and breast cancer receiving chemotherapy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mazzocco, T., & Hussain, A. (2011, June). A side-effects mapping model in patients with lung, colorectal and breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Presented at 2011 IEEE 13th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services, Columbia, MO, USA

Cancer treatments are now more effective than ever and, as a consequence, cancer is becoming a chronic disease. Chemotherapy is a frequently used treatment in people with cancer and it can cause a number of side-effects which if not properly managed...

Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia (2011)
Journal Article
Mazzocco, T., & Hussain, A. (2012). Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia. Expert Systems with Applications, 39(3), 3356-3361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2011.09.023

Clinicians often experience difficulties in the diagnosis of dementia due to the intrinsic complexity of the process and lack of comprehensive diagnostic tools. Different models have been proposed to provide medical decision support in dementia diagn... Read More about Novel logistic regression models to aid the diagnosis of dementia.

Cognitive Computation Special Issue on Cognitive Behavioural Systems (2011)
Journal Article
Esposito, A., Vinciarelli, A., Haykin, S., Hussain, A., & Faundez-Zanuy, M. (2011). Cognitive Computation Special Issue on Cognitive Behavioural Systems. Cognitive Computation, 3(3), 417-418. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-011-9107-2

Cognitive processes, such as inference, categorization, and memory, are not independent from their physical instantiations. Individuals’ choices, perception, and actions emerge and are dynamically affected and enhanced by the interaction between sens...

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity (2011)
Journal Article
Akhtar, N., Niazi, M., Mustafa, F., & Hussain, A. (2011). A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 285(1), 103-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2011.05.038

Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous p... Read More about A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity.
