After 5 successful conferences in the United States, we’re coming across the pond! The agenda will span the key elements of Health 2.0 and showcase how consumers and professionals: Search for more appropriate health content, Share personal information in Communities and Use Tools to self-manage and enhance the patient-physician relationship You will gain unique insight into the following questions: How does specialized Search relate to Health 2.0? Is there life beyond Google in Europe' Are online patient communities different in Europe and across European countries' Have European doctors gone 2.0' Are personal health records being adopted by health care systems in Europe' How do European hospitals, payors and governments relate to Health 2.0' What opportunities exist for Pharma to play a bigger role in Health 2.0' Health 2.0 Europe will be a unique conference. We will integrate the best of European health technologies, and compare, contrast and contextualize them with leading examples of Health 2.0 from North America. We’ll be seeing: What works in the context of Europe’s evolving health care systems, Whether there are commonalities across European systems that can lead to economies of scale (or not!) and What the “boundary-less� online world means for consumers and physicians working in distinct health care systems. There’ll also be a presentation of the latest thinking about Health 2.0 in the European context, special videos, an unconference session, the introduction of new companies at Health 2.0 Europe’s Launch!, a great networking party at a very famous Parisian institution, and much, much more to keep you very stimulated for a day and a half. Oh, and did we mention that it’s in Paris in the Springtime' Apr 8, 2010: Jonathan Lewis: Writing optimal SQL & Troubleshooting &Tuning at Oracle University Centre Paris Colombes Published on: 01 Mar 2010 Oracle University vous propose un séminaire de deux jours pour explorer deux domaines restés un peu retrait des séminaires habituels portant sur l’optimisation des requêtes : l’écriture d’un code SQL « optimal » puis l’identification et le dépannage des problèmes de performance SQL Jour 1: Writing optimal SQL Cette première journée poursuit deux objectifs. Tout d'abord, améliorer la performance d'un système de production en venant à bout des ordres SQL inefficaces, et également, concevoir un système permettant un accès performant aux données. Dans beaucoup de cas, le design est déjà fait, cependant il faut reconnaître que ces deux objectifs interagissent. Ainsi, lorsque vous tentez d'optimiser un ordre SQL, vous avez besoin de savoir que certaines structures de la base de données sont disponibles pour vous aider à élaborer une solution plus performante, en dépit des problèmes liés au SQL en tant que tel. Ce cours détaillera les avantages et inconvénients des options structurelles utilisables avec le SQL, l'utilisation des index et des vues, les fonctions analytiques, le factoring des sous-requêtes et les statistiques. Enfin, elle proposera de nombreuses astuces pratiques, ainsi qu'un tour d'horizon rapide des plans d'exécution. Thèmes abordés : Se concentrer sur le problème plus que sur le SQL Renforcer la lisibilité du SQL Optimisation structurelle Elaborer une stratégie de conception et de débogage du SQL Techniques diverses Jour 2: Troubleshooting &Tuning Dépannage ou réglage d'un problème - Quelle différence entre ces deux options ? Quelle stratégie appliquer ? Pourquoi est-il plus simple de procéder à un dépannage qu'à un réglage ? Objectifs, indicateurs et mécanismes clés permettant de produire un système parfaitement réglé dès le premier jour. Stratégies d'optimisation des systèmes de production peu performants. Problèmes fréquents - Problèmes les plus fréquents affectant la performance d'un système après sa mise en production. Méthodes permettant de détecter ces problèmes, d'évaluer leur impact et de les résoudre par application du triangle coût-risque-avantages. Les bons réflexes : analyse préventive et résolution proactive des problèmes. Solutions « vite fait, bien fait » -Méthodes, contournements, trucs, astuces et paramètres permettant de résoudre les problèmes classiques de performance des systèmes en production. Rares sont les solutions « vite fait, bien fait » qui peuvent être réalisées dans tous les cas de figure. Chaque problème requiert une évaluation précise des coûts, risques et avantages. Cette partie examine les options les plus à même de s'avérer bénéfiques. V$ et X$ - Cette partie présente les vues les plus couramment utilisées et revient sur la signification de certains des éléments les plus utiles.

Released in March, the album debuted at number one in 35 countries, and drew mainly positive reviews. Rolling Stone, for example, stated that U2 had "defied the odds and made some of the greatest music of their lives". Others felt that the album was a major disappointment and sales were poor compared to previous U2 releases. The band was hurried into completing the album in time for the impending pre-booked tour, and Bono admitted that the album "didn't communicate the way it was intended to". Oct 11, 2010: ICI-1 Competitive Intelligence Basics Workshop at Novotel Les Halles Published on: 01 Feb 2010 Achieving competitive advantage through systematic competitor and market analysis In times of increasing competition and complex, fast-moving competitive environments, it is important to be one step ahead of the competition. Businesses have to anticipate the activities of their competitors when developing their strategic positioning.Competitive analyses are essential to the successful development of corporate strategy, conducting anticipatory strategy planning and gaining a measurable competitive advantage. Competitive Intelligence, which brings in a systematic analysis process, adds the decisive edge to strategy. Workshop foci - The value of Competitive Intelligence (CI) for your business - Analysis of one's own company: Where are we now and where do we intend to go' - Handling the information overload and testing the quality of data - Analytical methods to determine the competitive and market situation - Successful implementation of a CI system in a business Oct 13, 2010: ICI-2 Competitive Intelligence Projects at Novotel Les Halles Published on: 01 Feb 2010 For the real world application of CI fundamentals you will work on a complete CI case study CI basics are taught in this workshop using a case study. The CI process steps are practiced and CI tools and techniques absorbed. With the training from this course, typical process mistakes are less likely, because participants gain practical aptitude in applying CI methods and techniques. Through team work, interpersonal work techniques are encouraged and communication experiences established. Workshop foci - Definition of the CI requirements - Planning of the CI cycle - Execution of the CI cycle - Development of a continuous competitive information system Oct 14, 2010: ICI-6 Fundamental CI Analysis Methods at Novotel Les Halles Published on: 01 Feb 2010 SWOT, industry structure analysis, profiling, portfolio analysis and analysis of competing hypothesis (ACH) In this workshop, the fundamental methods of Competitivce Intelligence analysis are taught and practiced with examples. Command of these analysis techniques is a prerequisite for all subsequent "higher-order" analytical processes. To plan efficient CI projects, it is necessary to provide the data required for each analytical tool, and is only possible if one has acquired at least working knowledge of CI analysis techniques. Workshop foci - SWOT (Strengths/Weaknesses/ Opportunities/Threats) - 5 forces industrial structure analysis/strategic groups, according to Michael Porter - Competitor profiling - Portfolio Analysis - Analysis of competing hypothesis (ACH)
