Applications of Artificial Intelligence Methods in Medicine

Abstract: In modern dynamic, constantly developing society more and more people suffer from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease. They are the leading cause of death worldwide and represent an emerging global health threat. Moreover, the population in a lot of countries is getting more and more old and need medical and health care.

Accordingly, world renowned health stakeholders have been recognized importance of development of services that will support and help patients suffering from different kinds of diseases in everyday activities.

Scheduling Applications with Time Constraints in Sustainable Cloud, Fog and Mist Computing Platforms

Abstract Due to the recent technological advancements such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of smart environments, traditional Cloud computing is insufficient in transferring a huge volume of data generated by IoT devices. As a result, Fog and Mist computing have been established as computing paradigms to solve problems related to network bandwidth, transmission latency and security. The majority of the IoT applications typically require processing in a real-time manner and the target is to ensure that all deadlines are met. Therefore, it is necessary to employ appropriate scheduling techniques, in order to exploit the full potential of cloud, fog and mist computing systems and to achieve the required quality of service level.

Beyond securing networks and storage: emerging attacks and defenses to machine intelligence

Abstract Over the past three decades most research efforts in security and privacy have focused on network and storage security. Recently, Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifiers gain wide adoption in different complex tasks, including natural language processing, computer vision and cyber security. However, the underlying assumption of attack free operating environment has been defied by the introduction of several attacks such as adversarial examples and Trojan backdoor attacks.In Adversarial attacks the adversary perturbs the input examples during inference to force the DNN to misclassify while the adversary in the Trojan Backdoor operates in both training and inference phases. .......

A Holistic View of Accreditation to Augment University and Faculty Competitiveness

Abstract A Holistic View of Accreditation to Augment university and Faculty Competitiveness Accreditation is not only a marketing tool for institutions to attract students, it is a testament to proactive and high-quality curriculum design and delivery. It tells your students, their families, the community and the world that your institution is serious about education. But, all too often, the application for accreditation is seen as a hurdle to overcome as opposed to being an opportunity for inward looking self-assessment and an opportunity to develop meaningful strategic plans for continuous improvement. Handled correctly, the accreditation process is a win-win-win exercise. The university wins, the faculty/ies win and the students win. .............

What is Accreditation- Key benefits

Bio: Dr Maurice Dimmock has had a wealth of experience in the education industry. After two decades of working in educational institutions including the University of Northumbria, he became the managing director of QISAN in 1999. He founded ASIC in 2005 to provide accreditation services to institutions around the world. Other achievements include setting up all Northumbria Universities partnership programs worldwide; instigating the 3+0 programs in Malaysia in cooperation with the Ministry of Education in Malaysia; chairing the Development team to set up the British Malaysian Institute in Malaysia; and winning over 32 million (GBP) in World Bank projects.
