Without proper security precautions, IS are prone to unexpected and intolerable side effects, such as leakage of operational and confidential data, identity theft and unauthorized access, and possibly modification of private data, services, and systems. Security services are required in order to guarantee information security and protection of privacy, such as data confidentiality, data authentication, anonymity, entity authentication, non-repudiation of origin and receipt, access control, protection against denial of service and phishing, and secure processing and deletion of data. In a nutshell, dependable and trustworthy security solutions based on strong cryptography are needed.

Semantic agent systems are about the integration of the semantic Web, software agents, and multi-... more Semantic agent systems are about the integration of the semantic Web, software agents, and multi-agent systems technologies. Like in the past (e.g. biology and informatics yielding bioinformatics) a whole new perspective is emerging with semantic agent systems. In this context, the semantic Web is a Web of semantically linked data which aims to enable man and machine to execute tasks in tandem. Here, software agents in a multi-agent system as delegates of humans are endowed with power to use semantically linked data.
This edited book “Semantic Agent Systems: Foundations and Applications” proposes contributions on a wide range of topics on foundations and applications written by a selection of international experts. It first introduces in an accessible style the nature of semantic agent systems. Then it explores with numerous illustrations new frontiers in software agent technology.
“Semantic Agent Systems: Foundations and Applications” is recommended for scientists, experts, researchers, and learners in the field of artificial intelligence, the semantic Web, software agents, and multi-agent systems technologies.

It is possible to maximize the quality of life of the child patients and decrease parental anxiety by keeping the child under control during monitoring stage and achieve a proper distant diagnose by the patient's clinician. This is possible with the designs of intelligent M-Health systems that can be used for diagnosing and monitoring the child patients away from hospitals by presenting the instant medical data to their registered doctors. Intelligent M-Health systems require strong knowledge management technology and ease of extension to provide information from additional medical tools. With the contribution of intelligent M-Health systems, it is possible to infer new facts from the certain gathered medical data during examination from child patients. This article mentions an intelligent and easy medical data gathering system that can be used by pediatricians or parents any time. In addition, the system has its own inferencing mechanism that involves two main steps, inferencing on image processing and Semantic Web rule knowledge base.

One of the most important IT sectors that requires big data management is mobile data communicati... more One of the most important IT sectors that requires big data management is mobile data communication systems (MDCS) of GSM companies. In the charging mechanism of current MDCS, a subscriber “surfs” on the internet that creates data traffic and a counter subtracts the amount of data used by the user from the subscriber's quota. In other words, instant constant quota values are assigned to subscribers without concern for their previous amount of internet usage in current MDCS. Moreover, constant quota values cause constant charge calls in control traffic that are repeated for all new quota requests. Thus, performance degradation occurs because of the repetition of quota request calls and allocations. In this chapter, a dynamic quota calculation system (DQCS) is proposed for dynamic quota allocations and charging in MDCS using data mining approaches as two cascaded blocks. The first block is self-organizing map (SOM) clustering based on a sliding window (SW) methodology followed by ...

Current approaches to feature selection for text classification aim to reduce the number of terms... more Current approaches to feature selection for text classification aim to reduce the number of terms that are used to describe documents. Thus, documents can be classified and found with greater ease and precision. A key shortcoming of these approaches is that they select the topmost terms to describe documents after ranking all terms using a feature selection measure (scoring function). Lesser high-ranking terms below the topmost terms are discarded to reduce computational costs. Nevertheless, in many cases, they may have considerable discriminative power to enhance the text classification precision. In order to address this issue, we proposed a new feature weighting formalism that ties the topmost terms with lesser high-ranking terms using probabilistic neural networks. In the proposed method, probabilistic neural networks are formed using relative category distribution matrix and topmost terms are re-weighted and passed to Rocchio classifier. This is achieved without increasing the ...

Obesity may increase the risk for many health problems such as early puberty, Type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, high blood pressure, heart diseases, and sleep apnea. The detection of obesity in children and adolescents at early stages is important and it is crucial to start individual based treatments. Due to the widespread use of smart mobile devices among family members and increasing number of m-Health applications to fight against obesity as well as other diseases, m-Health applications can be a good choice for early detection of obesity in childhood and adolescence stages. Recently, many studies about mobile-based obesity tracking system that mostly for adults have been done. This research study especially emphases obesity management in childhood and adolescence stages with the contribution of Semantic Web technology. Therefore, the system is an ontology-based obesity tracking system for children and adolescents which has its own Obesity Tracking Ontology and medical semantic rule knowledge base with an inference engine.

The following list of abilities would form the desired feature set of such approaches: self-localization, detection and correction of course deviation errors, faster and more reliable identification of friend or foe, simultaneous localization and mapping in uncharted environments without necessarily depending on external assistance, and being able to serve as web services. Situations, where enhanced robots with such rich feature sets come to play, span competitions such as line following, cooperative mini sumo fighting, and cooperative labyrinth discovery. In this chapter we look into how such features may be realized towards creating intelligent robots. Currently through-cell localization in robots mainly relies on availability of shaft-encoders. In this regard, we would like to firstly present a simple-to-implement through-cell localization approach for rob...

It is time to upgrade the election scenario using modern technology such as blockchain and advanced cryptography methods. Actually, both of Estonia and New South Wales have been using i-voting systems, but after developing an example software of their systems for the purpose of analysis, it is discovered that it has weaknesses against many kinds of attacks, such as malwares, network attacks, and servers attacks. The fact that the blockchain technology has demonstrated infinite immutability and resistance against hacking, so it is possible to use it to secure election results from fraud by saving every single piece of data, record or transaction with unchangeable history. By abandoning the traditional database and compensating it with two blockchains instead of one ensures voter/vote privacy, as well as, safeguards the results from manipulation. Also, using blockchain's distributed network reduces the load on the network. Finally, solutions to problems of impersonation and vote selling are suggested. The technology behind the digital voting system design is explained in terms of the processes involved, such as ID creation, authentication, voting, and vote tallying.

Yet researchers try to come up with standardization for usage of SWTs to be able to apply it in various fields. However, the current implementations are very specialized to task and are not flexible for different instances. In this paper, we focus on design and implementation of an interface between matrix data structures utilized in various mathematical software and OWL ontology files. Therefore, ontology files can be embedded into math software for reasoning and calculation purposes. Moreover, the result of math software can be represented in form of ontology files. This issue resolves the lack of math engines to work with semantic web services. In this case a new framework for real-time human interactive communication and semantic software agents are proposed. The representation of traffic network as labyrinth into ontology files helps other information systems to interact much easier. This representation is in terms of an optimized adjacency matrix. As result, the realtime system can detect an ambulance and flow the traffic in such a way that it reaches the nearest hospital much faster. Hence, the labyrinth data should be transformed to an optimized matrix for labyrinth discovery software agents to respond user interactive queries such as finding the best path to an accident for traffic police officers. In this framework, collecting the Drivers' identities and also passengers with use of RFID tags as a part of their ID cards is possible. These data could be used for statistics purposes. The results of the developed system have been tested on cooperative labyrinth discovery agents with great achievements.
