The new architecture uses secured iSCSI protocol and records the parity of every data change to the eHealthcare information system performed by authorized health care providers. The recording and transmission of encrypted parities are done in background without requirement of explicit involvement of users. Together with either backup data or real-time production data, one can easily replay Electronic Health Record (EHR) as it was at any point-in-time in the past using simple reverse parity computations. Because parities are substantially smaller than original data, the new system provides much higher online performance and fast encryption time. Experimental results on our prototype system have shown the clear advantages of the new system.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115338396","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}

However, usability research regarding the ease of using these devices, as well as acceptance issues did mostly address aspects of IC-Technologies in younger and healthy users. This study investigates impacts of ageing and domain knowledge on user interaction using the example of diabetes. First, the software for the monitoring of diabetes had been developed and implemented on a PC. The simulated diabetes assistant was displayed on a small screen device as well as on a very large display, simulating an ambient assisted living environment. In a second step, the navigation behavior of younger and older diabetes patients as well as healthy users was assessed. Results show that age and display-size have a big impact on the device interaction, independently of domain knowledge. Furthermore, it was found that simple usage of a bigger screen could be helpful for tutoring patients in using a mobile electronic living assistant.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127482226","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}

This research focused on providing a better approach for identification of rice quality by using neural network and image processing concepts. In this research, a back propagation neural network with two hidden layers has been developed for the quality classification. Thirty one texture and color features that have been extracted from rice images were used for discriminate analysis. Tests on the system for the training and test sets show accuracy in between 94% to 68% for the four grades.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130097286","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}

Users upload photographs to the website and identification of the photographs is conducted by trained volunteers. Use of GPS equipped mobile telephones helps with the recording of location information and the use of trained volunteers identifying bees from photographs helps eliminate problems of misidentification.

Some European countries have developed their own EAs, while others limited their efforts in aligning their strategies to the European one. In this paper we present the EAs followed by major e-Strategies, together with their recent outcomes. On the contrary, we present e-Government implementation in Greece, where no EA was followed.
