Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Towards OLAP and data warehouse systems for biomedical data and its application to immunological context   Order a copy of this article
    by Vladan Mijatovic, Antonio Vella, Riccardo Ortolani, Carlo Combi 
    Abstract: Informational load in hospital facilities keeps constantly growing and the necessity for advanced data management is becoming of crucial importance. Therefore, in the last years data warehouse systems have been employed to accommodate the need of clinical staff in data retrieving and knowledge data discovery. This is also the case in immunology context, where the attention is oriented on the study of many cell types of the lymphocytic component. Here we propose the design and the implementation of a clinical data warehouse for immunological data based on open source software. The aim of this work is to apply data warehouse methods in a clinical context for analysis of hundreds of parameters given by each exam, designing a complete data flow that will extract information starting from raw data.
    Keywords: data warehouse; OLAP; ETL; immunology; clinical analysis; data analysis; data discovery.
