A Comparative Study On Blockchain-Based Electronic Health Record Systems: Performance, Privacy, And Security Between Hyperledger Fabric And Ethereum Frameworks, Md Jobair Hossain Faruk, Hossain Shahriar, Maria Valero, Xia Li Dec 2022

A Comparative Study On Blockchain-Based Electronic Health Record Systems: Performance, Privacy, And Security Between Hyperledger Fabric And Ethereum Frameworks, Md Jobair Hossain Faruk, Hossain Shahriar, Maria Valero, Xia Li

Master of Science in Software Engineering Theses

Traditional data collection, storage, and processing of Electronic Health Records (EHR) utilize centralized techniques that pose several risks of single point of failure and lean the systems to a number of internal and external data breaches that compromise their reliability and availability. Addressing the challenges of conventional database techniques and improving the overall aspects of EHR application, blockchain technology is being evaluated to find a possible solution. Blockchain refers to an emerging distributed technology and incorruptible database of records or digital events which execute, validate, and maintain by a ledger technology to provide an immutable architecture and prevent records manipulation …


Iot Clusters Platform For Data Collection, Analysis, And Visualization Use Case, Soin Abdoul Kassif Baba M Traore Apr 2022

Iot Clusters Platform For Data Collection, Analysis, And Visualization Use Case, Soin Abdoul Kassif Baba M Traore

Symposium of Student Scholars

Climate change is happening, and many countries are already facing devastating consequences. Populations worldwide are adapting to the season's unpredictability they relay to lands for agriculture. Our first research was to develop an IoT Clusters Platform for Data Collection, analysis, and visualization. The platform comprises hardware parts with Raspberry Pi and Arduino's clusters connected to multiple sensors. The clusters transmit data collected in real-time to microservices-based servers where the data can be accessed and processed. Our objectives in developing this platform were to create an efficient data collection system, relatively cheap to implement and easy to deploy in any part …


Graph Based Management Of Temporal Data, Alex Fotso Dec 2021

Graph Based Management Of Temporal Data, Alex Fotso

Master of Science in Computer Science Theses

In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in the use of smart devices and sensors that led to high-volume temporal data generation. Temporal modeling and querying of this huge data have been essential for effective querying and retrieval. However, custom temporal models have the problem of generalizability, whereas the extended temporal models require users to adapt to new querying languages. In this thesis, we propose a method to improve the modeling and retrieval of temporal data using an existing graph database system (i.e., Neo4j) without extending with additional operators. Our work focuses on temporal data represented as intervals …


Ehr Data Management: Hyperledger Fabric-Based Health Data Storing And Sharing, Md Jobair Hossain Faruk, Hossain Shahriar, Maria Valero Nov 2021

Ehr Data Management: Hyperledger Fabric-Based Health Data Storing And Sharing, Md Jobair Hossain Faruk, Hossain Shahriar, Maria Valero

Symposium of Student Scholars

Despite the type of industry, data sharing has always been a concern across the globe within the conventional database model; particularly in the healthcare industry, where the lack of data interoperability in existing applications creates not only security and transparency issues in EHR but also cost-related concerns that impact the quality of patient care. Without adopting novel and emerging technologies that allow patients to store and share EHR data within a tamper-evident, immutable, and secure data storing and sharing network, this current problem could not be resolved. Emerging Hyperledger Fabric-based Blockchain technology can be an ideal solution to address these …


Framework For Collecting Data From Iot Device, Md Saiful Islam May 2021

Framework For Collecting Data From Iot Device, Md Saiful Islam

Symposium of Student Scholars

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most significant and blooming technology in the 21st century. IoT has rapidly developed by covering hundreds of applications in the civil, health, military, and agriculture areas. IoT is based on the collection of sensor data through an embedded system, and this embedded system uploads the data on the internet. Devices and sensor technologies connected over a network can monitor and measure data in real-time. The main challenge is to collect data from IoT devices, transmit them to store in the Cloud, and later retrieve them at any time for visualization and data analysis. …


Model-Driven Engineering For Big Data, Belachew Regane Aug 2019

Model-Driven Engineering For Big Data, Belachew Regane

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Accessing heterogeneous and huge amount of data through different sources heavily impacts users of data nowadays worldwide. Thus, Big Data has now become a hot emerging paradigm in computing environments. Issues in scalability, interoperability, platform independency, adaptability and reusability in big data systems are considered the main current challenges. This raises the need for appropriate software engineering approaches to develop effective and efficient Big Data system models, i.e. an approach which reduce investment cost and development time. Today, software engineering has emerged advanced methodologies to solve problems from different perspectives, while still further research is needed to overcome new challenges …
