Abstract: A method and automated system for assisting in the prognosis of the progress and for assisting in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Also provided is a method for training such a system related to identifying discriminant regions of the brain and using these regions to fine tune the assistance method, based on new known cases. Imaging data (PET or SPECT) is used, representing the cerebral activity in a plurality of spatial zones (voxels). The method then includes a normalization processing of the image data, and analysis of the cerebral activity values read in a selection of voxels forming at least one predetermined discriminant region, defined by its coordinates within a spatial reference system.

Abstract: A method of administration in a JMX environment of software systems to be administered, represented by first respective MBeans, and at least one administration application, in which the administration acts produce the exposure of MBeans in at least one MBeanServer server, characterized in that it is implemented by means of a mediation device and that it comprises the following steps: a tree structure of administration components representing first MBeans, in which each component is identified by a unique name, is constructed following the receipt of the name of an administration component, the mediation device dispatches a determined command to the administration component thus identified which, if it represents an MBean, exposes in the MBeanServer this Mbean; when the administration component possesses descendent administration components in the hierarchical structure, the mediation device propagates the command to the descendents.
