Software for complex problem solving can dazzle people with advanced features and alluring visuals, but when actually put to use it often disappoints and even frustrates users This software rarely follows the user's own work methods, nor does it give people the degree of control and choice that they truly need This book presents a groundbreaking озфчу approach to interaction design for complex problem solving applications The author uses her vast field experience to present a new way of looking at the whole process, and treats complex problem solving software and web applications as a distinct class with its own set of usefulness demands and design criteria This approach highlights integrated interactions rather than discrete actions, clearly defines what makes problem solving complex, and explores strategies for analyzing, modeling, and designing for exploratory inquiries ·In depth case studies ranging from IT troubleshooting to marketing analysis to risk assessments in healthcare show exactly where and what goes wrong in real world activities and how to improve them ·Presents a system and framework for analyzing complex work and takes the mystery out of eliciting patterns of work and their meanings ·Offers new perspectives for support and new design strategies for building the right models into programs so that they effectively address users' dynamic work ·Allows designers to turn findings into useful designs for problems that require users tocreate new knowledge but with no one right answer and with many methods of reaching solutions.  ISBN 1558608311.

The need for efficient content-based image retrieval has increased tremendously in areas such as biomedicine, military, commerce, education, and Web image classification and searching In the biomedical domain, content-based image retrieval can be used in patient digital libraries, clinical diagnosis, searching of 2-D electrophoresis озфчэ gels, and pathology slides Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval presents a wavelet-based approach for feature extraction, combined with integrated region matching An image in the database, or a portion of an image, is represented by a set of regions, roughly corresponding to objects, which are characterized by color, texture, shape, and location A measure for the overall similarity between images is developed as a region-matching scheme that integrates properties of all the regions in the images The advantage of using this "soft matching" is that it makes the metric robust to poor segmentation, an important property that previous research has not solved Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval demonstrates an experimental image retrieval system called SIMPLIcity (Semantics-sensitive Integrated Matching for Picture LIbraries) This system validates these methods on various image databases, proving that such methods perform much better and much faster than existing ones The system is exceptionally robust to image alterations such as intensity variation, sharpness variation, intentional distortions, cropping, shifting, and rotation These features are extremely important to biomedical image databases since visual features in the query image are not exactly the same as the visual features in the images in the database Integrated Region-Based Image Retrieval is an excellent reference for researchers in the fields of image retrieval, multimedia, computer vision and image processing.  ISBN 0792373502.
