Facilitating Knowledge Management in Distributed Healthcare Systems

Abstract: We developed a prototype to support data integration and decision making in Breast Cancer domain, wherein the knowledge management plays a critical role. While the decision making needs to rely on different medical expertise, our system experiments with a system ontology and then a process calculus based language. The integration of data gathered from different modalities, represented in heterogeneous canonical formats, and broken down at diverse granularity levels is, therefore, facilitated by interaction models combining implementation flexibility and logic rigidity
