Instead, they communicate using electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, web applications. Transaction banking, which provides commercial services for products small, medium, large corporations, is highly typical ...

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has shown incredible development with the growth medical systems using wireless information technologies. devices are biosensors that can integrate physical things to make smarter healthcare applications collaborated on Internet. In recent decades, many have been designed monitor health patients and support expert teams for appropriate treatment. attached p...

This paper presents a case for an intelligent agent based framework for knowledge discovery in a distributed healthcare environment comprising multiple heterogeneous healthcare data repositories. Data-mediated knowledge discovery, especially from multiple heterogeneous data resources, is a tedious process and imposes significant operational constraints on end-users. We demonstrate that autonomo...

In assessing the relative efficiency of decision-maker units by classical Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, the status of the data is determined from the input or output points of views. In real issues, there are some data whose statuses are debatable. Some decision making units consider them as input to achieve higher efficiency while some other decision making units consider them ...

We present an approach for designing decision procedures based on the reduction of complex theories to simpler ones. Specifically, we define reduction functions as a tool for reducing the satisfiability problem of a complex theory to the satisfiability problem of a simpler one. Reduction functions allow us to reduce the theory of lists to the theory of constructors, the theory of arrays to the ...
