With the rise of digital biomarkers, its role in precision medicine has become an important area of interest, something which is destined to continue due to Electronic Health Records (EHR). It’s important to keep in mind the limitations and problems that appear on the horizon. Among these problems are geo-differentiation and ethnic balance, generation of protocols for sharing digital information, and transferability of different record types (structured and non-structured).

Smart Cities, Big Data and Communities: Reasoning from the Viewpoint of Attractors In what sense is a city smart? There are established entities defining this rich area of cross-disciplinary studies, and they refer to social, technical, economic and political factors that keep evolving, thus offering opportunities for constant refinement of the concept of smart city. The emerging properties are mostly contextual, and affect urban data types and their capacity to form complex information systems. Read more “Smart Cities Lunch & Learn, Thursday 12/3/2015”

Community Outreach - Archived
The dramatic and terrifying events that occurred during the first decade of the 21st Century drew in the scientific and engineering resources of the nation in many ways. For example, NIST responded by conducting an exhaustive study of the World Trade Center building collapses and produced standards for biometric identification, mail irradiations to detoxify anthrax, nuclear material detectors at U.S. borders, and protective measures against cyber attacks. NSF responded by supporting research interrupted by Hurricane Katrina and modeling the several violent natural disasters that occurred during the decade.
