Abstract In today’s highly competitive retail industry, offline stores face increasing pressure on profitability. They hope to improve their ability in shelf management with the help of big data technology. For this, on-shelf availability is an essential indicator of shelf data management and closely relates to customer purchase behavior. RFM (recency, frequency, and monetary) pattern mining is a powerful tool to evaluate the value of customer behavior. However, the existing RFM pattern mining algorithms do not consider the quarterly nature of goods, resulting in unreasonable shelf availability and difficulty in profit-making. To solve this problem, we… More >

Abstract Mobile networks possess significant information and thus are considered a gold mine for the researcher’s community. The call detail records (CDR) of a mobile network are used to identify the network’s efficacy and the mobile user’s behavior. It is evident from the recent literature that cyber-physical systems (CPS) were used in the analytics and modeling of telecom data. In addition, CPS is used to provide valuable services in smart cities. In general, a typical telecom company has millions of subscribers and thus generates massive amounts of data. From this aspect, data storage, analysis, and processing… More >

Abstract Connected and autonomous vehicles are seeing their dawn at this moment. They provide numerous benefits to vehicle owners, manufacturers, vehicle service providers, insurance companies, etc. These vehicles generate a large amount of data, which makes privacy and security a major challenge to their success. The complicated machine-led mechanics of connected and autonomous vehicles increase the risks of privacy invasion and cyber security violations for their users by making them more susceptible to data exploitation and vulnerable to cyber-attacks than any of their predecessors. This could have a negative impact on how well-liked CAVs are with… More >

Abstract The development of information technology allows the collaborative business process to be run across multiple enterprises in a larger market environment. However, while collaborative business expands the realm of businesses, it also causes various hazards in collaborative Interaction, such as data falsification, inconstancy, and misuse. To solve these issues, a blockchain-based collaborative business modeling approach was proposed and analyzed. However, the existing studies lack the blockchain risk problem-solving specification, and there is no verification technique to examine the process. Consequently, it is difficult to confirm the appropriateness of the approach. Thus, here, we propose and… More >

Abstract Recently, research on a distributed storage system that efficiently manages a large amount of data has been actively conducted following data production and demand increase. Physical expansion limits exist for traditional standalone storage systems, such as I/O and file system capacity. However, the existing distributed storage system does not consider where data is consumed and is more focused on data dissemination and optimizing the lookup cost of data location. And this leads to system performance degradation due to low locality occurring in a Wide Area Network (WAN) environment with high network latency. This problem hinders… More >

Abstract Due to the extensive use of various intelligent terminals and the popularity of network social tools, a large amount of data in the field of medical emerged. How to manage these massive data safely and reliably has become an important challenge for the medical network community. This paper proposes a data management framework of medical network community based on Consortium Blockchain (CB) and Federated learning (FL), which realizes the data security sharing between medical institutions and research institutions. Under this framework, the data security sharing mechanism of medical network community based on smart contract and the… More >

Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an online device that senses and transmits medical data from users to physicians within a time interval. In, recent years, IoMT has rapidly grown in the medical field to provide healthcare services without physical appearance. With the use of sensors, IoMT applications are used in healthcare management. In such applications, one of the most important factors is data security, given that its transmission over the network may cause obtrusion. For data security in IoMT systems, blockchain is used due to its numerous blocks for secure data storage. In… More >

Abstract There are numerous application areas of computing similarity between process models. It includes finding similar models from a repository, controlling redundancy of process models, and finding corresponding activities between a pair of process models. The similarity between two process models is computed based on their similarity between labels, structures, and execution behaviors. Several attempts have been made to develop similarity techniques between activity labels, as well as their execution behavior. However, a notable problem with the process model similarity is that two process models can also be similar if there is a structural variation between More >
