Over the last twenty years, the software in smart cards has radically changed. This has happened for several reasons, smart card software was initially rigid and monolithic and has now become more flexible with a clear separation between “operating system level” and “application level” parts. What is more, application-level resources are now much more accessible (nearly to end user level). Neve...

This work presents a process of deploying applications securely to fielded devices with smart cards whilst taking into consideration the possibility that the client device could be malicious. Advantages of the proposed process include; caching functionality upon the device, optimal use of resources, employment of nested security contexts whilst addressing fielded infrastructures and a homogeneo...

Smart Grid (SG) is a smart concept based on cerebral advanced technologies; SG also becomes a subject matter for research. It unified inventive machine and technologies starts from generation, transmission and distribution to the consumer usage. With the advancement in the technology, various steps are taking place to convert power grid to smart grid. At current stage various models of SG are c...

Web-based software was used to deliver and record the effects of programmed instruction that progressively added formal prompts until attempts were successful, programmed instruction with one attempt, and prose tutorials. Error-contingent progressive prompting took significantly longer than programmed instruction and prose. Both forms of programmed instruction substantially increased the approp...

Smart contracts on a blockchain behave exactly as specified by their code. To be sure that a smart contract behaves as expected, the end-user has to either analyze its code or trust a potentially anonymous developer or auditor to do so. This approach proposes a smart contract deployment and management platform that can execute development tools and code quality tools in a trusted way and uses t...

Background: Diabetes is a serious chronic disease, and its increasing prevalence is a global concern. If diabetes mellitus is left untreated, poor control of blood glucose may cause long-term complications. A big challenge encountered by clinicians is the clinical management of diabetes. Many IT-based interventions such ad CDSS have been made to improve the adherence to the standard care for ch...

This paper describes the technical investigation, design, and implementation of integrating the Student Modeling Approach for Responsive Tutoring (SMART) into a tutor built with the Rapid ITS Authoring Development Shell (RIDES). The effort resulted in RIDES software components and a definitive methodology that can be used to instantiate the SMART approach to instruction in a RIDES tutor.

Smart cities are not merely the infusion of technology into a city’s infrastructure, but also require citizens interacting with their urban environment in a smart and informed manner. Transportation is key aspect of smart cities. In this paper, we present a smart route planning open-source system; SMART-GH utilizes open data and participatory sensing, where citizens actively participate in coll...
