Despite this fact, the human health architecture are tested essentially by security and ownership of information. Securing EHR...
There is an urgent need for corporations to take positive climate change actions to reduce the earth's carbon footprint. On the other hand, growing demands, high expectations of customers for advanced product functionalities and reliability have led to establishing large scale manufacturing plants with complex and capital intensive automated equipments which negatively impact climate change. Overall...
Studies have shown that effective physician-patient communication can result in improved health outcomes. Wearable health monitors, which are steadily growing in adoption, may help to improve this communication. In this paper we report the findings of a survey conducted among physicians, in which we assessed their views on the potential integration of wearables into patient care. Our analysis suggests...
With the rapid development of clustering analysis technology, there have been many application-specific clustering algorithms, such as text clustering. K-Means algorithm, as one of the classic algorithms of clustering algorithms, and a textual document clustering algorithms commonly used in the analysis process, is widely used because of its simple and low complexity. This article in view of two big...
The environmental disaster warning system for the Itajaí Valley consists of a telemetric network with rain gauges measure and level. In addition, a smaller network of instruments in the urban area of the city of Blumenau ensures the monitoring of risk areas for landslides. The importance of the existence of this system based on the Regional University of Blumenau (FURB) lies in the fact that the population...
We present an ontological analysis of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) research to date. The analysis highlights the research's bright spots which are heavily emphasized, the light spots which are lightly emphasized, the blind spots which have been overlooked, and the blank spots which may never be emphasized. Thus, it explicates the biases in the domain's research, the...
Ensuring compliance to laws and regulations in their business processes is a burdensome obligation for today's companies. Compliance requirements cover many areas of business and IT, including process design, deployment and run-time. Past approaches only covered some of these aspects. In this work we introduce a generic compliance descriptor, integrating different technical compliance implementations...
The eHealth Exchange is a widely distributed system that allows various healthcare enterprises to share electronic health data across the United States. Unfortunately, the healthcare system in the United States is plagued with abuse and fraud which costs the country an estimated 80 billion every year. The eHealth Exchange will likely become a target of new online attacks and such abuse will possibly...
Many people sincerely believe that it would be good to make lifestyle choices that have a positive effect on their own health, the social viability of their communities, and the longterm quality of the environment. Yet these same people often fail to act in accordance with these intentions. In this paper, we draw attention to the fact that people's failure to maintain healthy and sustainable lifestyles...
We consider arbitrary risk-averse users, whose costs of improving security are given by an arbitrary convex function. In our model, user probability to incur damage (from an attack) depends on both his own security and network security: thus, security is interdependent. We introduce two user types (normal and malicious), and allow one user type (malicious users) to subvert insurer monitoring, even...
The research efforts for a national eHealth interconnection infrastructure and design guidelines are in great demand. This paper identifies the major challenges in eHealth interconnection network services that are critical to universal deployment. An overview of our solutions framework is summarized with the aspects of interconnection services, operational management services, and security control...
In this paper, the proposed Smartphone Driving Information Check System for a no-driving day car insurance, in order to solve some problems rising during the installation and use of the existing Driving Information Check Device on the car, includes WPAN such as Wi-Fi Ad-hoc or Bluetooth to send the insurer's driving information to the Smartphone's Terminal Monitor Program, backup the driving record...
Various studies have proven the positive impact of e-health solutions on treatment success and health care spending. Utilization of e-health is therefore urgently recommended by German health authorities. However, the diffusion of such technologies is currently very low, despite the availability of the underlying technology. A market failure is a likely reason for the unsatisfying situation, as there...
The droughts occur frequently in China, and it is urgent requirement for drought monitoring in a large region. Real-time monitoring and timely reporting of drought is important decision information for drought disaster prevention and mitigation. From the view of business process, the paper proposes the method to build system using remote sensing data, which includes MODIS data access, data processing,...
The availability of scarce resources in a service-oriented system demands for context-aware selection policies that adapt based on service-level agreements (SLAs). One of the open issues is to prioritize service requests in dynamically changing environments where concurrent instances of processes may compete for resources. Here we propose a runtime monitoring approach to observe the actual state of...
Trust is an important factor in online communication. Trust is used as a criteria for service selection. The first step to build a trust solution is to define trust and trust principles. Most current trust-based service selection approaches do not define trust and they establish trust for services by ranking services or finding the services' compliance and reputation. In addition, most studies do...

Graduated Granulation is an important feature of fuzzy logic system. It is used to imitate the process of human interpretation and assimilation of knowledge, given an uncertain situation with imprecise data at hand. Spatial locations are an important factor attributing to the success of business activities. The business prospers or perishes depending upon the way it handles its data for making smart...
