With the growing utility of blockchain technology, desire for reciprocal interactions among different blockchains is growing. However, most operational networks currently operate in a standalone setting. This fragmentation form isolated creates interoperability difficulties, inhibiting adoption various ecosystems. Interoperability key factor healthcare domain sharing EHRs patients registered in...

Abstract Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis is a common cause of candidemia in children and onco-hematologic patients as well as in patients with septic arthritis, peritonitis, vaginitis, and nail and skin infections. Here, we evaluated intra- and inter-species beta tubulin DNA sequence variation within the C. parapsilosis complex with a view to establishing its utility in the identi...

Rapid growth of modern technologies such as internet and mobile computing are bringing dramatically increased e-commerce payments, as well as the explosion in transaction fraud. Meanwhile, fraudsters are continually refining their tricks, making rule-based fraud detection systems difficult to handle the ever-changing fraud patterns. Many data mining and artificial intelligence methods have been...

Constructing scalable high-performance applications on commodity hardware running the Unix operating system is a problem that must be addressed in several application domains. We relate our experience in achieving transaction scaleup on Unix for a high-performance OLTP system intended for Service Control Points (SCPs) in a telephone switching network. We view the requirements of SCPs as prototy...

Purpose – Business process outsourcing (BPO) has become so prevalent that a new term, the extended enterprise, has arisen to describe this approach to structuring an organization. The purpose of this article is to integrate the information systems and the interfirm governance literatures to develop a framework for the role of trust in the governance of extended enterprises. Design/methodology/a...

This paper develops a research model on the roles of transaction cost reduction and explicit coordination in mediating the impacts of inter-organizational information systems (IOS) use on buyer benefits. Empirical tests find that both the transaction costs reduction and explicit coordination are significantly impacted by IOS use. However, it is found that the impacts of IOS use on buyer benefit...

To reduce the overhead of Software Transactional Memory (STM) there are many recent proposals to build hybrid systems that use architectural support either to accelerate parts of a particular STM algorithm (Ha-TM), or to form a hybrid system allowing hardwaretransactions and software-transactions to inter-operate in the same address space (Hy-TM). In this paper we introduce a Hy-TM design based...
