Abstract The rapid development of personal health records (PHR) systems enables an individual to collect, create, store and share his PHR to authorized entities. Health care systems within the smart city environment require a patient to share his PRH data with a multitude of institutions’ repositories located in the cloud. The cloud computing paradigm cannot meet such a massive transformative healthcare systems due to drawbacks including network latency, scalability and bandwidth. Fog computing relieves the load of conventional cloud computing by availing intermediate fog nodes between the end users and the remote servers. Assuming a massive demand of PHR data within… More >

Abstract Recently, an increasing number of works start investigating the combination of fog computing and electronic health (ehealth) applications. However, there are still numerous unresolved issues worth to be explored. For instance, there is a lack of investigation on the disease prediction in fog environment and only limited studies show, how the Quality of Service (QoS) levels of fog services and the data stream mining techniques influence each other to improve the disease prediction performance (e.g., accuracy and time efficiency). To address these issues, we propose a fog-based framework for disease prediction based on Medical sensor data streams, named FogMed. This… More >

Abstract Haze-fog, which is an atmospheric aerosol caused by natural or man-made factors, seriously affects the physical and mental health of human beings. PM_2.5 (a particulate matter whose diameter is smaller than or equal to 2.5 microns) is the chief culprit causing aerosol. To forecast the condition of PM_2.5, this paper adopts the related the meteorological data and air pollutes data to predict the concentration of PM_2.5. Since the meteorological data and air pollutes data are typical time series data, it is reasonable to adopt a machine learning method called Single Hidden-Layer Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (SSHL-LSTMNN) containing memory capability… More >

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm involving intelligent sensor networks that incorporates embedded technology for collecting data, communicating with external environments. Recently, cloud computing together with fog computing has become an important research area of the Internet of Things because of big data processing capabilities. It is a promising technology that utilizes cloud or fog computing / architecture to improve sensor computing, storage, and communication capabilities. However, recently it has been shown that this computing/architecture may be vulnerable to various attacks because of the openness nature of the wireless network. Therefore, it becomes more and more important to… More >

Abstract Communication is important for providing intelligent services in connected vehicles. Vehicles must be able to communicate with different places and exchange information while driving. For service operation, connected vehicles frequently attempt to download large amounts of data. They can request data downloading to a road side unit (RSU), which provides infrastructure for connected vehicles. The RSU is a data bottleneck in a transportation system because data traffic is concentrated on the RSU. Therefore, it is not appropriate for a connected vehicle to always attempt a high speed download from the RSU. If the mobile network between a connected vehicle and… More >
