Evolving Smart Information Systems
Prof. Ajith Abraham
(Ajith Abraham, Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic)
We are blessed with the sophisticated technological artifacts that are enriching our daily lives and the society. It is believed that the future Internet is going to provide us the framework to integrate, control or operate virtually any device, appliance, monitoring systems, infrastructures etc. The challenge is to design intelligent machines and networks that could communicate and adapt according to the environment.
In this talk, the concept of digital ecosystem will be presented and then various research challenges from several application perspective will be illustrated. A real world application deploying a smart information system for health-care of terminally ill patients will be used for demonstration purposes.
