Cloud computing is achieving increased popularity among both, researchers and practitioners; while security is one of the major issues which reduces its growth and complications with data privacy and data protection continue to plague the market. Stimulated by the promising solutions of Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) for addressing the problems of management and monitoring of services sha...

Intelligent Video-Surveillance (IVS) systems are being more and more popular in security applications. The analysis and recognition of abnormal behaviours in a video sequence has gradually drawn the attention in the field of IVS, since it allows filtering out a large number of useless information, which guarantees the high efficiency in the security protection, and save a lot of human and mater...

Intelligent video tracking technology is the digital video processing and analysis of an important field of application in the civilian and military defense have a wide range of applications. In this paper, a systematic study on the surveillance video of the Smart in the agricultural tracking, particularly in target detection and tracking problem of the study, respectively for the static backgr...

We propose a solution that provides protection for patients' electronic health/medical records disseminated among different authorized healthcare information systems. The solution is known as Active Bundles using a Trusted Third Party (ABTTP). It is based on the use of trusted third parties, and the construct named active bundles. The latter keep electronic health/medical records as sensitive d...

The goal of Business Intelligence is to enable management to make more intelligent decisions on the basis of knowledge extracted from data. Does this mean that having data is always good, that having more data and extracting more knowledge from it is better, and that knowledge can be derived only from data? The collection and processing of data has in the past years become increasingly scrutini...

The article is devoted to the development of knowledge-oriented models that are able to increase the efficiency and quality of main pipeline complex (MPC) dispatching control. The main attention is paid to the dispatching control of electrochemical protection (ECP) of pipelines from corrosion. Functional knowledge-oriented model that is created on the basis of typical intelligent blocks is prop...

The analysis and evaluation of knowledge management processes is an important area of interest in research and business. Companies currently are required to analyze and to audit its knowledge management processes. This stems from a requirement to comply with Data Protection Laws in respective countries and companies ́ desire to optimize its critical processes. Both companies and the marketplace ...

Due to rapid advances of computing power and communications, healthcare services are increasingly rely on the electronic processing and transmission of confidential patient data to reduce the costs and improve the quality. It is becoming more and more important that accessing the health information should be both secure and privacy preserving. Therefore access control becomes an important integ...
