Many clinical decision support systems (CDSS) exist to assist doctors with decision making tasks in the domain of hypertension. Most of these systems are implemented using traditional database methodologies. These systems cannot handle huge amount of data sets. Analyzing, interpreting and processing of data are so difficult in traditional systems. They are not flexible and adaptable to complex requirements and processes and they lack intelligence. Medical knowledge must be represented in a meaningful way in order for the computers to analyze and acquire inferred data. Ontology is among the most powerful tools to encode medical knowledge semantically. The aim of this paper is to propose an ontology based decision support system model to predict the risk of hypertension and diabetics in related diseases. The proposed system uses ontologies as knowledge base, the patient medical profile to be stored in a semantic way and an inference mechanism to infer data in the decision making process. The main advantage of using ontologies in a CDSS is that, different sources can share and reuse the ontological concepts represented in a semantic way and thus integration of data is easier. The proposed system is targeted to implement in health centers in Sultanate of Oman.","PeriodicalId":417068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Processing and Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132014285","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}

Because there are only finite resources in private cloud compare to public cloud with vast resources. Often, marginal resources are assigned to the application in the private cloud, which causes to the changes of service level of application executions. A resource management system is responsible for fulfilling SLA requirement so that it assigns resources when the allocated resource is not enough. Compare to conventional distributed environment, it is easier to meet the SLA requirement in virtualized one because there are many helpful mechanisms like consolidation, virtual machine migration, and dynamic scaling. We propose a resource management system for private cloud based on a novel server consolidation algorithm that uses live migration of the virtual machine, with dynamic scaling capabilities. We present our proposed architecture, the consolidation algorithm and the profile scheme to support dynamic scaling. The empirical experiments results show that our proposed approach outperforms other popular approaches in process time and load balancing.","PeriodicalId":417068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Processing and Management","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121879840","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}

In general, the adoption of OSS among potential users in public sector agencies is still low and needs to be encouraged. This paper provides a brief history of OSS and open source's key programming languages. It also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of OSS.

Most of the growth in this field is due to transfer of the traditional model of IT services to a novel model of cloud and the ubiquity of access to electronic and digital devices. Cloud computing posed a critical risk and challenges to digital investigators, but provides plenty of opportunities to investigators for improving the digital forensics. Moreover, cloud service providers and customers have yet to establish adequate forensic capabilities that could support investigations of criminal activities in the cloud. Notwithstanding the cloud presents some promising technical and economic benefits, users still resist to use cloud mainly due to security issues because it poses a challenge in doing cloud forensic investigations. Regarding this some research has been done, which propose solutions in doing forensic investigation. In this review paper, we take the first step towards reviewing the cloud forensics works that have been done by other researchers, and then do some discussion and analysis based on our findings to consider the opportunities and challenges confront the cloud forensics based on our findings.","PeriodicalId":417068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Processing and Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125168318","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}
