Reputation based Trust Management System for Improving Public Health Care System in Pakistan

Health is the most important facility for the people by the government if it is provided properly.There is a lack of trust among people about healthcare system particularly in public hospitals ofPakistan. People do not trust doctors and hospitals due to poor management and low standardscheck-up by the doctors. This is due to the lack of feedback system which leads to themismanagement of healthcare institutions. In this research, we have developed a reputation-basedfeedback management system that will overcome all the problems related to the trust of the patientsregarding their medical care. This will enhance the system and will let doctors, staff, andmanagement to work honestly to make their repute well

Teaching Innovation to Graduate Students in Computer Information Systems (CIS)

The goal of this paper is to show how graduate students in a computer information systems (CIS) masters program can learn innovation and can complete innovative thesis or projects in information systems. Graduate MS students in the CIS program are taught how to use information systems, but not taught how to create and innovate new information systems. To be competitors in the global economy today, “Innovate or Evaporate” is the message for organizations in the United States (US). US employees must know how to innovate, but current CIS programs rarely teach innovation to their students. To foster innovation, this paper proposes an approach which systematically introduces innovation in a step wise fashion in three courses. The approach in the three courses include: (i) introducing innovative technologies in the CINS 5073 course, (ii) use of innovative technologies by organizations to remain competitive in the CINS 5013 course, and (iii) research innovative information systems in the CINS 5003 course. The approach presented in this paper fosters innovation throughout the program and the use of common systems – something that a student is very familiar with its construction and use, and converting them to intelligent systems using innovative thinking. The benefit of this approach is to create a new breed of workforce consisting of effective thinkers and innovators. It also teaches students that innovation is a never ending process and that innovation will enable them to survive long-term in the constantly changing field of information systems. The approach can be used in other CIS programs nationwide to enable them to teach innovation using cost-effective industry standard technologies and systems

Emerging research directions in computer science : contributions from the young informatics faculty in Karlsruhe

In order to build better human-friendly human-computer interfaces, such interfaces need to be enabled with capabilities to perceive the user, his location, identity, activities and in particular his interaction with others and the machine. Only with these perception capabilities can smart systems ( for example human-friendly robots or smart environments) become posssible. In my research I\u27m thus focusing on the development of novel techniques for the visual perception of humans and their activities, in order to facilitate perceptive multimodal interfaces, humanoid robots and smart environments. My work includes research on person tracking, person identication, recognition of pointing gestures, estimation of head orientation and focus of attention, as well as audio-visual scene and activity analysis. Application areas are humanfriendly humanoid robots, smart environments, content-based image and video analysis, as well as safety- and security-related applications. This article gives a brief overview of my ongoing research activities in these areas
