Available recommender systems mostly provide recommendations based on the users preferences by utilizing traditional methods such as collaborative filtering which only relies on the similarities between users and items. However, collaborative filtering might lead to provide poor recommendation because it does not rely on other useful available data such as users locations and hence the accuracy of the recommendations could be very low and inefficient. This could be very obvious in the systems that locations would affect users preferences highly such as movie recommender systems. In this paper a new location-based movie recommender system based on the collaborative filtering is introduced for enhancing the accuracy and the quality of recommendations. In this approach, users locations have been utilized and take in consideration in the entire processing of the recommendations and peer selections. The potential of the proposed approach in providing novel and better quality recommendations have been discussed through experiments in real datasets.Comment: 7 pages in International Journal in Foundations of Computer Science & Technology (IJFCST), Vol.5, No.4, July 201

Abstract-Medical Decision Support Systems (MDSS) industry collects a huge amount of data, which is not properly mined and not put to the optimum use. This data may contain valuable information that awaits extraction. The knowledge may be encapsulated in various patterns and regularities that may be hidden in the data. Such knowledge may prove to be priceless in future medical decision making. Available medical decision support systems are based on static data, which may be out of date. Thus, a medical decision support system that can learn the relationships between patient histories, diseases in the population, symptoms, pathology of a disease, family history, and test results, would be useful to physicians and hospitals.
