PRISMA: Toward a Normative Information Infrastructure for Responsible Pharmaceutical Knowledge Management

Most existing approaches to AI in pharmacy collapse three epistemologically distinct operations into a single technical layer: document preservation, semantic interpretation, and contextual presentation. This conflation is a root cause of recurring fragilities including loss of provenance, interpretive opacity, alert fatigue, and erosion of accountability. This paper proposes the PATOS--Lector--PRISMA (PLP) infrastructure as a normative information architecture for responsible pharmaceutical knowledge management. PATOS preserves regulatory documents with explicit versioning and provenance; Lector implements machine-assisted reading with human curation, producing typed assertions anchored to primary sources; PRISMA delivers contextual presentation through the RPDA framework (Regulatory, Prescription, Dispensing, Administration), refracting the same informational core into distinct professional views. The architecture introduces the Evidence Pack as a formal unit of accountable assertion (versioned, traceable, epistemically bounded, and curatorially validated), with assertions typified by illocutionary force. A worked example traces dipyrone monohydrate across all three layers using real system data. Developed and validated in Brazil's regulatory context, the architecture is grounded in an operational implementation comprising over 16,000 official documents and 38 curated Evidence Packs spanning five reference medications. The proposal is demonstrated as complementary to operational decision support systems, providing infrastructural conditions that current systems lack: documentary anchoring, interpretive transparency, and institutional accountability.

IRQ Coloring and the Subtle Art of Mitigating Interrupt-generated Interference

Integrating workloads with differing criticality levels presents a formidable challenge in achieving the stringent spatial and temporal isolation requirements imposed by safety-critical standards such as ISO26262. The shift towards high-performance multicore platforms has been posing increasing issues to the so-called mixed-criticality systems (MCS) due to the reciprocal interference created by consolidated subsystems vying for access to shared (microarchitectural) resources (e.g., caches, bus interconnect, memory controller). The research community has acknowledged all these challenges. Thus, several techniques, such as cache partitioning and memory throttling, have been proposed to mitigate such interference; however, these techniques have some drawbacks and limitations that impact performance, memory footprint, and availability. In this work, we look from a different perspective. Departing from the observation that safety-critical workloads are typically event- and thus interrupt-driven, we mask "colored" interrupts based on the \ac{QoS} assessment, providing fine-grain control to mitigate interference on critical workloads without entirely suspending non-critical workloads. We propose the so-called IRQ coloring technique. We implement and evaluate the IRQ Coloring on a reference high-performance multicore platform, i.e., Xilinx ZCU102. Results demonstrate negligible performance overhead, i.e., <1% for a 100 microseconds period, and reasonable throughput guarantees for medium-critical workloads. We argue that the IRQ coloring technique presents predictability and intermediate guarantees advantages compared to state-of-art mechanisms
