Expensive clinical trials do not uncover all the ADRs and also cumbersome for consumers and healthcare professionals. Majority of existing methods rely on patients' spontaneous self-reports. The recent explosion of micro blogging platforms such as Twitter presents a new information source to discover ADRs. In this study, the authors developed a system to automatically extract ADRs from Twitter messages utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. First, the authors proposed a novel method to filter out all the drug related messages from the Twitter data stream. Dictionary based approaches were used to identify medical terminology, emoticons and slang words. The interpretation of “internet language” was also addressed in this research. The best classifier for the classification of ADR reached an accuracy of 68% with F-measure of 69%. The results suggest that there is potential for extracting ADR related information from Twitter messages to support pharmacovigilance.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114931044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While, these clouds have a relatively small pool of resources, diversity of those resources, users, and their needs are still comparable with public clouds. We present a resource and policy aware Virtual Machine (VM) scheduling solution for such medium-scale clouds. The proposed scheduler enables the deployment of VMs based on a predefined set of policies and user priorities, while being aware of the resource utilization of the cloud. This is achieved by periodically polling resource statistics from the cloud nodes, enforcing a set of predefined policies, taking into account the priority levels of users and VM requests, and then scaling, migrating, and preempting VMs based on available resources and policies. Such resource and policy aware scheduling improves resource request acceptance rate and increases the utilization of cloud resources. A proof of concept solution is implemented using Apache CloudStack and validated against a carefully crafted set of resource requests.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114563078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A government web site model which has been successfully implemented in another country may not be directly applicable to a Sri Lankan environment without making the required adjustments. In the Sri Lankan context, locally generated knowledge on the field of government web services is lacking. This has resulted in slower progress in local government web site development. In order to address the above void, this research has built a model with the help of previous researches which consists of six variables. During the research the importance of each of those variables towards the sustainable development of Sri Lankan government web sites will be checked.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132737382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though there are many other medical image modalities available, improving the CCA method to objectively detect and assess the stenosis is a cost effective approach in Cardiac clinical procedures. Segmentation of Coronary Arteries (CA) is a basic and challenging area in such an endeavour. Hence, in this study we proposed a segmentation method to extract the major areas of CA based on Frangi's vessel enhancement filter and region growing segmentation method called flood fill. Experimental results of our proposed segmentation method have clearly proven its ability to extract the main CA almost completely. Moreover this proposed segmentation method possesses 93.73% average segmentation accuracy. Further, it detects the vessel path lines of the segmented frames using a thinning algorithm. The results obtained from this proposed segmentation method can be further enhanced to determine the functional severity of the CA and this study lays a foundation to improve the Coronary Angiogram image modality to do objective diagnosis of stenosis in future.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133698780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neural networks are closely related to biological systems in how they resemble the vertebra nervous system to perform classification tasks. However, in the success of neural networks, determining the configuration and the architecture of neural network plays a major role. Biological systems have evolved to their current state of cognition through natural evolution. Therefore, to attain an optimized neural network architecture for object recognition, the proposed system uses a genetic algorithm that simulates generations of neural network populations. A distributed parallel processing method is implemented on the system to undertake the enormous processing overhead required.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123303366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wireless sensor node captures these vital health parameters and then sends them to a smart phone via Bluetooth. The smart phone handles all the processing tasks and produces systolic, diastolic and heart rates and gives alerts whenever an abnormal condition occurs. The prototype device managed to perform at 99.76 %, 88.40% and 92.70% accuracy levels on monitoring the temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate, respectively. The system, designed using low-cost peripherals with minimal electronic devices, can be used to monitor patients even from a remote location via wireless technology.","PeriodicalId":142561,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifteenth International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126723468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
