abstract = "Summary form only given. Both our preliminary works
[1], [2], on biomedical sensor signal processing, have
focused on abdominal tumour motion traces. In
stereo-tactic radiotherapy for thoracic and abdominal
tumours, respiratory motion management is crucial for
improving efficacy of treatment, while minimizing risk
to healthy tissue and organs. Since tumour motion
exhibits dynamic variation in characteristics, between
and within patients, our first work concentrated on
predicting imminent anomalous or irregular tumour
motion ahead of its occurrence, and our second work
consists of analysis of behavioural distribution of
tumour motion, used for patient grouping with the aim
to improve treatment planning. We propose to develop a
module that will automatically decide, which
methods/parameter to use based on the signal type. For
example, often the initial step for signal processing
involves dividing the sensors time-series into segments
and also we proposed a variable length segmentation
method and compared its performance against a
segmentation method that divided the signal at fixed
and equal interval of length, L. Depending on user
input or persistent memory (storing past experience or
expert opinion) associated with the module, the module
will decide which segmentation to use on the current
signal. If it decides that the best way to proceed
would which segmentation to use on the current signal.
If it decides that the best way to proceed would be to
use fixed length segmentation, then it will use a
variation of genetic programming to determine the best
value L.",
