Abstract:
Smart healthcare can be exemplified as utilizing propitious electronic technology safeguarded with blockchain for superior diagnosis of the disorders, improvised and cost-effective treatment of the patients, and enhanced quality of life. Since blockchain in smart healthcare architecture hosts a substantial amount of patient data, queueing models play a pivotal role to efficiently process the data. This paper highlights the concepts of blockchain, then delves into the smart healthcare architecture and then deals with the several queueing models that already exist. It proposes the model i.e. hQChain which is inculcating M1,b/Mb/1 queueing model into blockchain-based smart healthcare architecture.

Abstract:
Now we are in an era of technology transformation in our everyday life, where data plays a key role in decision making and bringing the action into reality. These data are collected from many distributed sources. Federated learning (FL) is the term coined by Google. It facilitated the distributed learning process and shared the results to the outcomes to the central entity instead of conducting the complete learning process at the centre. In the traditional machine learning approach, data are brought to the model, whereas FL brings ML techniques to the data used at end devices.

Abstract:
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a fast-growing glioma that is commonly spreading into nearby brain tissue. Prediction of patient overall survival (OS) time helps the radiologist for better systematic treatment planning and clinical decision making. In this study, the OS classification was performed using ML algorithms by taking radiomic features. The experiment was performed on the well-known data set BraTs 2017 and achieves a classification AUC value of 63% for 3-class and 2-class groups using the different classifiers. Finally, the method achieves the AUC score of 0.66 using Fusedfeature+SVM+GA (3-class) and 0.70 using Fused feature+SVM+PSO ((2-class) which outperforms the state-of-the-art.

Abstract:
Glioma is one type of fast-growing brain tumor in which the shape, size and location of the tumor vary from patient to patient. The U-Net model is the most popular and extensively used deep learning model for biomedical image segmentation. This study shows the effect of different learning parameters on the performance of the deep UNet model for brain tumor segmentation. The authors have compared the performance by tuning the different learning parameters and measured the accuracy in terms of AUC and F1score. The experiment was performed on two well-known data sets, BraTs 2017 and BraTs 2018.

Abstract
Today, there is the worldwide adoption of smart services, and smart services are being implemented through Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The number of IoT devices is continuously generating data. This generated data has been passed to the cloud computing layer for processing, but it is very tedious to forward this generated data to the cloud layer for processing due to limited bandwidth and communication latency. Various algorithms, such as random, round robin, weighted round robin, least connection and weighted least connection, can be used for load balancing.

Abstract
Big Data is a field that provides different ways to analyze and to extract information and hidden patterns. It also helps to deal with the data sets which are complex. In many cases, data offers greater statistical power while the data with higher complexity leads to a higher false discovery rate. At the current time due to the key concepts like volume, variety, and velocity which are associated with Big Data, privacy and security are the biggest challenges in this field. we have discussed different types of issues and solutions related to security and privacy in Big Data.

Abstract:
The Sensor-Based Artificial Nervous System to assist Paralyzed People (SANS) helps the paralyzed people to make use of the SANS by wearing the artificial bypass synapse (ABS) to join two disconnected biological neurons of the human body parts automatically. The user needs to wear the ABS in between the two disconnected biological neurons. The pre-synaptic cells have been used to transfer the brain signals from the brain to ABS, and the postsynaptic cell is transferring the signals from ABS to muscle. The photodiode, transistor, and artificial neuron circuit are the internal part of the ABS which connects the disconnected neurons.
