CLOUD LARIISA: A CONTEXT-AWARE FRAMEWORK FOR A PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENT BASED ON CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPT

Abstract

LARIISA is a framework that makes use of context-aware and ontology technologies to support decision making and governance in the public health sector. It is able to perceive the status of epidemiological emergencies and adapt itself in real time to a risk situation. This paper presents the LARIISA's cloud computing version, LARIISA's second rendition, whose main aim is to provide a software platform enabling the “facilities-like” offering of healthcare infra-structure, middleware and applications. It will also provide features to facilitate the description, publication, discovery and integration of both public and private healthcare software systems in an open way.
