Digital images have emerged as the most popular means for sharing information in articles, newspapers, and even courtrooms. However, the widespread use of advanced digital imaging tools has made it easier to forge images. One such technique is image splicing, where multiple source images are merged into a single destination image to conceal or alter its content. Image splicing is an effective

The amount and variety of raw data generated in the agriculture sector from numerous sources, including soil sensors and local weather stations, are proliferating. However, these raw data in themselves are meaningless and isolated and, therefore, may offer little value to the farmer. Data usefulness is determined by its context and meaning and by how it is interoperable with data from other

The automotive industry currently is seeking to increase remote connectivity to a vehicle, which creates a high demand to implement a secure way of connecting vehicles, as well as verifying and storing their data in a trusted way. Furthermore, much information must be leaked in order to correctly diagnose the vehicle and determine when or how to remotely update it. In this context, we propose a

The growth of mobile application development industry made it crucial for researchers to study the industry practices of choosing mobile applications programming languages, systems, and tools. With the increased attention of cross-platform mobile applications development from both researchers and industry, this paper aims at answering the question of whether most of the industries are using cross

Most artificial intelligence (AI) research and innovations have concentrated in high-income countries, where imaging data, IT infrastructures and clinical expertise are plentiful. However, slower progress has been made in limited-resource environments where medical imaging is needed. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, the rate of perinatal mortality is very high due to limited access to antenatal

Big Data Stream processing engines such as Apache Flink use windowing techniques to handle unbounded streams of events. Gathering all pertinent input within a window is crucial for event-time windowing since it affects how accurate results are. A significant part of this process is played by watermarks, which are unique timestamps that show the passage of events in time. However, the current

Image segmentation is considered one of the essen-tial tasks for extracting useful information from an image. Given the brain tumor and its consumption of medical resources, the development of a deep learning method for MRI to segment the brain tumor of patients’ MRI is illustrated here. Brain tumor segmentation technique is crucial in detecting and treating MRI brain tumors. Furthermore, it

In recent years, advances in technology in several industries have resulted in massive data collections on the web. It raises worries about large data security and protection. The advent of Blockchain technology has caused a revolution in the security field for different applications. The distributed ledger is stored on each Blockchain node, which enhances security and data transparency. On the

Context: The most popular mobile platforms, Android and iOS, are traditionally developed using native programming languages—Java and Kotlin for Android, and Objective-C followed by Swift for iOS, respectively. Due to their popularity, there is always a demand to convert applications written for one of these two platforms to another. Cross-platform mobile development is widely used as a solution

Heath data are sensitive and valuable for individuals. The patients need to integrate and manage their medical data continuously. Personal Health Record (PHR) is introduced as a solution for managing their health information. It gives patients ownership over their medical data and provides physicians with realignment data. However, it does not achieve reliability, traceability, trust, nor security
