Memetic Optimization with Cryptographic Encryption for Secure Medical Data Transmission in IoT-Based Distributed Systems

Abstract: In the healthcare system, the Internet of Things (IoT) based distributed systems play a vital role in transferring the medical-related documents and infor mation among the organizations to reduce the replication in medical tests. This datum is sensitive, and hence security is a must in transforming the sensational contents. In this paper, an Evolutionary Algorithm, namely the Memetic Algo rithm is used for encrypting the text messages. The encrypted information is then inserted int...

Deployment of IoV for smart cities: applications, architecture, and challenges

Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a convergence of the mobile Internet and the Internet of Things (IoT), where vehicles function as smart moving intelligent nodes or objects within the sensing network. This paper gives two contributions to the state-of-the-art for IoV technology research. First, we present a comprehensive review of the current and emerging IoV paradigms and communication models with an emphasis on deployment in smart cities. Currently, surveys from many authors hav...

Query Processing and Optimization in Distributed Database Systems

Summary  Query processing is an important concern in the field of distributed databases. The main problem is: if a query can be  decomposed into subqueries that require operations at geographically separated databases, determine the sequence and  the sites for performing this set of operations such that the operating cost (communication cost and processing cost) for  processing this query is minimized. The problem is complicated by the fact that query processing not only depends on th...

Creating A Conducive Remote Work Environment In Nigeria And Why It Should Be Encouraged

This publication seeks to identify key factors that would make remote working in Nigeria conducive for citizens that want to practice this culture. It was discovered that power supply, a stable internet connection, digital skills and organizations adhering to remote work trends are the key factors that can make remote working pleasurable. It was also discovered that remote work improves productivity and reduces overhead costs for organizations.

Time Series Data Ingestion of An Oil and Gas Well: A Case Study of HyperDap Ltd

Abstract Nowadays, big data plays a critical role in society. Big data is massive with high growth rate which is of great significance for oil and gas companies, however, a large amount of data often brings a lot of storage and management costs, such as the cost of hard disks. Here is where our application makes sense. Hence the researchers developed an application for HyperDap Ltd that filters data according to some criteria before writing into the database in order to save storage space and...

E-Government Adoption And Framework For Big Data Analytics In Nigeria

ABSTRACT The continuous advances in today’s digital universe and integration of computing into virtually every facet of human life are no doubt making the concept of Big Data a ubiquitous paradigm for deploying novel technologies/applications hitherto not practicable by conventional methods. Big Data, a general term for the massive amount of digital data being generated from different sources, extremely large, structured/unstructured too complex for analysis through conventional relational...

An assessment of Information Security Awareness among employees in Higher Education Sector in Zambia: A case of Zambia’s public Universities

Abstract The use of Information and Communication Technology to collect and process large volumes of data into information has made it possible for organisations to find ways and means of making informed decisions within a short space of time. There is so much dependent on information systems to such an extent that system failure can adversely compromise the organisation’s operations. The education sector has not been left out but has instead become an information super house. The developm...

Steganography

Steganography is important due to the exponential development and the secret communication of computer users over the internet. Steganography is a data hiding technique, which is used to hide the data within a file to avoid detection. Stenography or covered writing is of hiding private or sensitive information which appears to be unrevealed information. Hiding information or wrapping information in other information like image, audio, video etc.    KEYWORDS:Steganography,Data concealing,Sec...

Dell Computers

Dell Computers was founded by Michael Dell, who started selling personal computers out of his dorm room as a freshman at the University of Texas. Michael Dell would buy parts wholesale, assembled them into clones (exact replicas) of IBM computers, and sold them by mail order to customers who did not want to pay the higher prices charged by retailers. Michael Dell was soon making 80,000 dollars a month profit and in 1984 Michael dropped out of university to found Dell Computers. Michael formed...

Computers in Life

A man wakes up in the morning to the sound of his digital alarm clock and immediately checks his e-mail. He turns on the television, which has a V-chip to keep his children from watching what may be violent. He gets dressed, gets in his car, and drives to work where he works as the network administrator at a local steel company. It is amazing all of the things this man uses in the morning alone that would not be possible if it were not for computer technology. From his alarm clock to his e-ma...

Computers and the Internet

For most of my high school career, I have used the Internet for my research. My method relied on printing out the material, highlighting the important sections and trying to interpret these sections into my own words to incorporate this research into my papers. I feel that the Internet has made it harder for students to use research in their work.
