Driven by the ever-increasing requirements of autonomous vehicles, such as traffic monitoring and driving assistant, deep learning-based object detection (DL-OD) has been increasingly attractive in intelligent transportation systems. However, it is difficult for the existing DL-OD schemes to realize the responsible, cost-saving, and energy-efficient autonomous vehicle systems due to low their inherent defects of low timeliness and high energy consumption. In this paper, we propose an object detection (OD) system based on edge-cloud cooperation and reconstructive convolutional neural networks, which is called Edge YOLO. This system can effectively avoid the excessive dependence on computing power and uneven distribution of cloud computing resources. Specifically, it is a lightweight OD framework realized by combining pruning feature extraction network and compression feature fusion network to enhance the efficiency of multi-scale prediction to the largest extent. In addition, we developed an autonomous driving platform equipped with NVIDIA Jetson for system-level verification. We experimentally demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of Edge YOLO on COCO2017 and KITTI data sets, respectively. According to COCO2017 standard datasets with a speed of 26.6 frames per second (FPS), the results show that the number of parameters in the entire network is only 25.67 MB, while the accuracy (mAP) is up to 47.3%.
The most burning topic of today, calls for a holistic solution that is reliable, secure, privacy preserved, cost effective Cloud storage that can tide over the turbulent conditions of the rapidly budding digital storage technologies. This send an outcry for a devoted solution, in the form of an individualized, patient-centric care-IoMT that augments precise disease identifications, decrease in errors, reduction in costs of care through the support of technology, allows patients to direct health information data to doctors ,manage drugs, keep Personal Health Records, caters to remote medical supports Care, provides proactive approach to preserving Good Health, improves and Accelerates Clinician Workflows, empowers extreme connectivity due to better automation and perceptions in the DNA of IoMT functions. But IoMT adoption is like a rose with thorns like constraints of increased administrative costs, deficiency of universal data access, present-day electronic medical records. The BCT is used in the framework to overcome the security issues of IoMT through the use of latest encryptions. Furthermore, this framework harnesses the benefits of Block Chain like reduced cost, speed, automation, immutability, near-impossible loss of data, permanence, removal of intermediaries, decentralization of consensus, legitimate access to health data, data safekeeping, accrual-based imbursement mechanisms, and medical supply chain efficacy. The outcomes in this paper are (i)A systematic investigation of the current IoMT, Block Chain and Cloud Storage in Health Care;(ii) Explore the challenges and necessities for the confluence of Block Chain (BC), Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Cloud Computing (CC) ;(iii)Formulate the requirements necessary for the real-time remote Health Care of one-to-one care structure, which, supports the vital functions that are critical to the Patient Centric Health Care;(iv) Design and develop a novel BC IoMT U6 HCS (Block Chain based Internet of Medical Things for Uninterrupted, Ubiquitous, User-friendly, Unflappable, Unblemished, Unlimited Health Care Services) Layered Architecture, to support the vital functions critical for Patient Centric Health Care and (v) Implement and test with the previous established and proven techniques. The integrity of the Layered Architecture is validated with the already existing ones in terms of audit performances. The results from the Layered Architecture are validated and are proven to be competent in achieving safe auditing and surpass the former ones. The technology is in the sprouting phases, it is perilous that affiliates of the Health Care community realize the rudimentary ideas behind Block Chain, and detect its feasible impact on the future of patient centric medical care. Finally, and most importantly, this paper also gives a panoramic view on the current research status, and imminent directions of Secure Internet of Medical Things Using Block Chain.
Information-centric networking (ICN) is a new approach to networking contents rather than devices that hold the contents. It has recently attracted much attention of network research and standardization communities. National and multi-national funded research projects have progressed worldwide. International Telecommunication Union -Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) started ICN standardization activities in 2012. In parallel, the standards-oriented research cooperation is progressing in the Information-Centric Networking Research Group (ICNRG) of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). All these global efforts have been collectively advancing the novel network architecture of ICN. However, there are very few surveys and discussions on the detailed ICN standardization status. To update the reader with information about the ICN research and standardization related activities, this paper starts with the history of global activities on ICN from 2010, giving references to various projects. It then describes the recent progress in the standardization of ICN component technologies in ITU-T and various documents produced by ICNRG. Lastly, it discusses the future directions for progressing ICN.
Electronic prescription (E-prescription) is an emerging technology that allows health practitioners (doctors, physicians, pharmacists, or nurses) to electronically transmit prescriptions to pharmacies. E-prescription systems allow doctors to avoid traditional medical practices in which prescriptions are sent manually in handwritten form. Additionally, in cases in which a patient may not be able to collect the medication in person due to physical disabilities, the medications can be delivered to the patient's home directly. Furthermore, payments can also be made online (e.g., using credit cards or bank transfers). However, these distinctive features require a series of guidelines for the successful deployment of the E-prescription system due to stringent legal requirements and privacy regulations. Two major security requirements i.e. confidentiality and authentication need to be addressed. In general, the solution to ensuring confidentiality and authentication lies in the combination of both the encryption and digital signature functions in a single logic step called signcryption. Therefore, in this paper, we present a lightweight and provable secured certificate-based proxy signcryption (CB-PS) scheme for e-prescription systems. The formal security verification uses the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) tool along with informal security analysis, which authenticates that the proposed CB-PS scheme can potentially be implemented in resource-constrained low-computing electronic devices in E-prescription systems.
