This paper presents the ParseKey+, an approach to a new highlysecure and safe authentication service. The scheme includes authentication process for both client and server sides in addition to passwords of each side. ParseKey+ employs transposition to hide the encrypted key in a key file retrievable only by the other side knowing the indices and lengths of sub-keys inside ParseKey+ encrypted file. ParseKey+ avoids client and server impersonations in addition to mutual client/server authentication. Therefore, the ...

This article proposes an Intelligent Tracking System for Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (Track... more This article proposes an Intelligent Tracking System for Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (TrackARTI) via a smart mobile for monitoring disease term of 0-6 age group child patients remotely (e.g. home, clinics). It is possible to maximize the quality of life of the child patients and decrease parental anxiety by keeping the child under control during monitoring stage and achieve a proper distant diagnose by the patient's clinician. This is possible with the designs of intelligent M-Health systems that can be used for diagnosing and monitoring the child patients away from hospitals by presenting the instant medical data to their registered doctors. Intelligent M-Health systems require strong knowledge management technology and ease of extension to provide information from additional medical tools. With the contribution of intelligent M-Health systems, it is possible to infer new facts from the certain gathered medical data during examination from child patients. This article mentions an intelligent and easy medical data gathering system that can be used by pediatricians or parents any time. In addition, the system has its own inferencing mechanism that involves two main steps, inferencing on image processing and Semantic Web rule knowledge base.
One of the most important IT sectors that requires big data management is mobile data communicati... more One of the most important IT sectors that requires big data management is mobile data communication systems (MDCS) of GSM companies. In the charging mechanism of current MDCS, a subscriber “surfs” on the internet that creates data traffic and a counter subtracts the amount of data used by the user from the subscriber's quota. In other words, instant constant quota values are assigned to subscribers without concern for their previous amount of internet usage in current MDCS. Moreover, constant quota values cause constant charge calls in control traffic that are repeated for all new quota requests. Thus, performance degradation occurs because of the repetition of quota request calls and allocations. In this chapter, a dynamic quota calculation system (DQCS) is proposed for dynamic quota allocations and charging in MDCS using data mining approaches as two cascaded blocks. The first block is self-organizing map (SOM) clustering based on a sliding window (SW) methodology followed by ...
Current approaches to feature selection for text classification aim to reduce the number of terms... more Current approaches to feature selection for text classification aim to reduce the number of terms that are used to describe documents. Thus, documents can be classified and found with greater ease and precision. A key shortcoming of these approaches is that they select the topmost terms to describe documents after ranking all terms using a feature selection measure (scoring function). Lesser high-ranking terms below the topmost terms are discarded to reduce computational costs. Nevertheless, in many cases, they may have considerable discriminative power to enhance the text classification precision. In order to address this issue, we proposed a new feature weighting formalism that ties the topmost terms with lesser high-ranking terms using probabilistic neural networks. In the proposed method, probabilistic neural networks are formed using relative category distribution matrix and topmost terms are re-weighted and passed to Rocchio classifier. This is achieved without increasing the ...

Obesity may increase the risk for many health problems such as early puberty, Type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, high blood pressure, heart diseases, and sleep apnea. The detection of obesity in children and adolescents at early stages is important and it is crucial to start individual based treatments. Due to the widespread use of smart mobile devices among family members and increasing number of m-Health applications to fight against obesity as well as other diseases, m-Health applications can be a good choice for early detection of obesity in childhood and adolescence stages. Recently, many studies about mobile-based obesity tracking system that mostly for adults have been done. This research study especially emphases obesity management in childhood and adolescence stages with the contribution of Semantic Web technology. Therefore, the system is an ontology-based obesity tracking system for children and adolescents which has its own Obesity Tracking Ontology and medical semantic rule knowledge base with an inference engine.

The following list of abilities would form the desired feature set of such approaches: self-localization, detection and correction of course deviation errors, faster and more reliable identification of friend or foe, simultaneous localization and mapping in uncharted environments without necessarily depending on external assistance, and being able to serve as web services. Situations, where enhanced robots with such rich feature sets come to play, span competitions such as line following, cooperative mini sumo fighting, and cooperative labyrinth discovery. In this chapter we look into how such features may be realized towards creating intelligent robots. Currently through-cell localization in robots mainly relies on availability of shaft-encoders. In this regard, we would like to firstly present a simple-to-implement through-cell localization approach for rob...

Search over internet resources may provide suitable educational material and methods (and associated activity/game). However, syntactic search in today's static-based internet is insufficient to offer desired relevant results. An intelligent system able to identify the needed educational methods and material with the help of semantic web-based agents will not only contribute to the development of individuals with disorders, and support education specialists in this process, but also be extremely useful for the families of these individuals in assisting and monitoring their child's developmental progress. In this chapter, an agent-based educational activity suggestion system of children with pervasive developmental disorder for guiding education and training ...

Image enhancement is used to alleviate problems caused by noise. In this work, the purpose is to propose, apply, and evaluate enhancement approaches to images by selecting suitable filters to produce improved quality and performance results. The new method proposed for image noise reduction as an enhancement process employs threshold and histogram equalization implemented in the wavelet domain. Different types of wavelet filters were tested to obtain the best results for the image noise reduction process. Also, the effect of canceling one or more of the high-frequency bands in the wavelet domain was tested. The mean square error and peak signal to noise ratio are used for measuring the improvement in image noise reduction. A comparison made with two related works shows the superiority of the methods proposed and implemented in this research. The proposed methods of applying ...

An exploratory study is conducted, wherein an online questionnaire is administered to the second-year master’s degree students from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Studies. The results show that students are aware of the importance of metacognition in developing effective learning strategies. Thus, they use metacognitive strategies when taking notes, doing reflections, and employing mnemonics to enhance understanding. However, despite the current practice of using open didactical materials, students feel that the open textbooks approach needs to be relooked and changed to be more effective; it could be equipped with appropriate learning tools to provide more opportunities for immediate feedback and collaborative assessment. Individualization and collaboration are the key factors in developing metacognitive experie...

It is time to upgrade the election scenario using modern technology such as blockchain and advanced cryptography methods. Actually, both of Estonia and New South Wales have been using i-voting systems, but after developing an example software of their systems for the purpose of analysis, it is discovered that it has weaknesses against many kinds of attacks, such as malwares, network attacks, and servers attacks. The fact that the blockchain technology has demonstrated infinite immutability and resistance against hacking, so it is possible to use it to secure election results from fraud by saving every single piece of data, record or transaction with unchangeable history. By abandoning the traditional database and compensating it with two blockchains instead of one ensures voter/vote privacy, as well as, safeguards the results from manipulation. Also, using blockchain's distributed network reduces the load on the network. Finally, solutions to problems of impersonation and vote selling are suggested. The technology behind the digital voting system design is explained in terms of the processes involved, such as ID creation, authentication, voting, and vote tallying.

We envisage a strong undercurrent of intelligent software
agents, mobile agents, and MAS running through this workshop;
side by side with the use of semantic technologies, there are
several foci of interest:
• Software Agents, Mobile Agents, and MAS,
• Agent, MAS and Semantic Web Technologies,
• Ontologies for Agents and MAS,
• Platforms for semantic agent and MAS implementation,
• Semantic Intelligence and Semantic Robotics,
• Other subjects of relevance in semantic technologies, semantic software agents, mobile agents, agent-based and multi-agent systems.
Blockchain of BitCoin caught most by surprise by its recent rise to stardom. There is hardly any realm of computing left without its tentacles touching or about to touch soonest. Besides its simple database roots it has been picked up for roles eventually and necessarily combining security, privacy and trust premises in recently evolved information systems.
This talk will survey Blockchain and related technologies, their uses and limits with a view towards how to take advantage of its eminent rise.
(How much and what type of personal data is being collected during medical processes? Are such private data safe? What to do?)
