background: cancer registries are important infrastructure for cancer control programs. however most developing countries lack population based cancer registry. in iran there cancer incidence is estimated based on pathology-based cancer registry. in this study we evaluated results of the nationwide pathology-based cancer registry in iran. materials and methods: we compared age-standardized inci...

Workflow management systems are being increasingly used by many organizations to automate business processes and decrease costs. Audit trails from workflow management systems include significant amounts of information that can be used to analyze and monitor the performance of business processes in order to improve the efficiency. Traditional approaches for using workflow audit trail for decisio...

With the ever increasing deployment and usage of gigabit networks, traditional network anomaly detection based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have not scaled accordingly. Most, if not all, intrusion detection systems (IDS) assume the availability of complete and clean audit data. We contend that this assumption is not valid. Factors like noise, mobility of the nodes and the large amount of n...

The effect of using automated auditing tools to detect compliance failures in unmanaged business processes is investigated. In the absence of a process execution engine, compliance of an unmanaged business process is tracked by using an auditing tool developed based on business provenance technology or employing auditors. Since budget constraints limit employing auditors to evaluate all process...

The CloudSafetyNet project is investigating the potential of Information Flow Control (IFC) as a technology for cloud computing. Security concerns are widely seen as an obstacle to the adoption of cloud computing solutions and although a wealth of law and regulation has emerged, the technical basis for enforcing and demonstrating compliance lags behind. IFC complements traditional security tech...
