There is a diversity of risk situations for pregnant women resulting in premature birth endangering the newborn's life. The pregnant women are monitored by physicians benefiting their experience in last months of pregnancy to predict certain risks in premature birth. The paper presents a solution to prevent high risk situations, using ontology as support in profiling pregnant women with possible pregnancy...
In cloud environments, the process of matching requests from users with the available computing resources is a challenging task. This is even more complex in federated environments, where multiple providers cooperate to offer enhanced services, suitable for distributed applications. In order to resolve these issues, a powerful modeling methodology can be adopted to facilitate expressing both the request...
WELCOME project aims at the development of a technical solution that will leverage integrated care of COPD and comorbidities via wearable technologies, user applications and cloud computing. This work focuses on the latter part and proposes technological approaches that will enable standardized cloud based data management and analytics in a challenging multimorbid health scenario. WELCOME cloud approach...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has given rise to new types of data, emerging for instance from the collection of sensor data and the control of actuators. The explosion of devices that have automated and perhaps improved the lives of all of us has generated a huge mass of information that will continue to grow exponentially. For this reason the need to store, manage, and treat the ever increasing amounts...
Managing virtualized services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge. Traditional models of software development are not appropriate for the cloud computing domain, where software (and other) services are acquired on demand. In this paper, we describe a new integrated methodology for the life cycle of IT services delivered on the cloud and demonstrate how it can be used to represent and reason...
This paper presents ontology based cloud service discovery mechanism that aims to provide cloud users to find desired cloud services over the internet. The main objective is to construct cloud ontology on the basis of services and attributes, that helps to rearrange the query and to discover the cloud services for user's requirement. Cloud ontology brings various CSPS services under same name convention...
Cloud Computing is a model that habilitates the access to a group of computer services that are offered according to the needs of the users. Also, layers have been developed in order to sectorize and manage the offered services while maintaining the interrelation between the layers by using ontologies. Referring to the above-mentioned, we suggest creating a new layer in cloud computing that enables...
Cloud Computing is a new computing paradigm where a large amount of computing capacity is offered on demand and only paying for what you use. Several Infrastructure Providers have adopted this approach offering resources which are easily managed by means of web-based APIs. However, if a user wants to use different providers, the resource management becomes tedious because providers define different...
The Semantic Web is gaining immense popularity-and with it, the Resource Description Framework (RDF)broadly used to model Semantic Web content. However, access control on RDF stores used for single machines has been seldom discussed in the literature. One significant obstacle to using RDF stores defined for single machines is their scalability. Cloud computers, on the other hand, have proven useful...
Cloud computing is the newest paradigm in the IT world and hence the focus of new research. Companies hosting cloud computing services face the challenge of handling data intensive applications. Semantic web technologies can be an ideal candidate to be used together with cloud computing tools to provide a solution. These technologies have been standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). One...
