The object of this work is to demonstrate the current use and benefits of telematic systems in health care. The contributors compare operational system approaches to equity in health care, and discuss the actual benefits of these approaches throughout the EC.

Concerned with how health services are managed, financed and planned, with a view to deciding priorities in health care. It deals with the structure, economics, organization and outcome of health services and their relationship to social and environmental circumstances.

Presents the final reports of the 17 research groups supervised by the CEC programme, COMAC-BIOLOGY, relating applications such as: standardization of diagnostic procedures, application of new biological techniques to health problems, and sharing of technologies and reagents.

The results of the Fourth EC Research Programme are found in this volume. The major focus areas are: health problems of the elderly - morbidity, disability, mortality, demographic changes and the "quality of life", and the environmental effects on epidemiology and diseases.

The overview presented aims to contribute to the field of establishing coherent cancer diagnosis and detection methods, and improving systemic research between national institutes throughout Europe. Clinical applications and implementations are featured in the concluding chapter.

Presents and discusses fundamental aspects and key implications of noise and fluctuations in various fields of science, technology and sociology, with special emphasis in 1/f fluctuations in biology. There are contributions from leading international experts.

In this text, an overview of research is presented which shows that biological rhythm was basically subjected to 1/f fluctuations. Fluctuations are not unwanted disturbances but play important roles, especially in biology.

The first Human Genome Analysis Programme (HGAP) was launched for the years 1990-1992. All final reports on HGAP, which now is continued as a separate sub-area on human genome analysis under BIOMED-I, are published in this book.

This volume reports on the progress of various research teams involved in the creation of a database which would contain all listed and documented EC biomedical research projects. A full inventory of the current 400 projects is provided.

An introduction to technology and standards in CD technology. Following a basic survey of concepts, leading to the construction of an actual CD player, the book's final chapter discusses CD variations like CD-I, CDV and CD singles.

This text discusses the impact of Research and Technological Development results on productivity, competitiveness and employment in European industry. It provides an overview of the current interplay of technological innovation, technology transfer and organizational and social issues.

Based on the programme for the third World Transputer Congress, this book provides a report on the current state in high performance parallel computing. Many of the papers report on the use of transputers combined with other processors, such as the Intel i860.

In developing telecommunications systems, much time is spent detecting and eliminating problems arising from feature interaction. This volume presents opinions on the technical problems involved in feature interactions in telecommunications systems.

These papers follow two directions: planning under certainty, or "classical" search-based planning, and aspects of planning such as abstraction, plan recognition, plan modification, knowledge-level planning and learning. Borderline topics, such as temporal reasoning, are also included.

This volume explores the development of high performance information and communication systems in the years 1991 to 1994. It features some of the key decisions which will shape the telecommunications landscape in Europe in the future.

Biomagnetism involves the investigation of bioelectric processes as reflected in their accompanying electric fields. The topics covered in this book reflect the issues of fundamental research in biomagnetism, as well as covering the various applications of biomagnetism.

In addition to providing an overview of the current needs in health informatics in Europe, this book covers the necessary guidelines, materials, tools and applications for improving education and training within the near future.

An examination of the use of transputers in numerical computing and neural networks. Topics covered include linear systems of equations and programming, fluid and molecular dynamics simulation, transformations, Kalman filtering and general numerical problems.

Transputers constitute a revolutionary category of microprocessors for parallel processing which have become market leaders in 32-bit RISC architectures. This volume reviews the theory and applications of transputer technology, including the new generation of the transputer - H1.

A collection of papers presented at a conference on transputers, addressing such topics as the new transputer generation, the prospects for distributed memory machines, major projects planned by the EEC and other organizations, performance evaluation, scheduling and message passing.
