Drones on the Rise: Exploring the Current and Future Potential of UAVs
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly popular in recent
years due to their versatility and affordability. This article provides an
overview of the history and development of UAVs, as well as their current and
potential applications in various fields. In particular, the article highlights
the use of UAVs in aerial photography and videography, surveying and mapping,
agriculture and forestry, infrastructure inspection and maintenance, search and
rescue operations, disaster management and humanitarian aid, and military
applications such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and combat. The article also
explores potential advancements in UAV technology and new applications that
could emerge in the future, as well as concerns about the impact of UAVs on
society, such as privacy, safety, security, job displacement, and environmental
impact. Overall, the article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the
current state and future potential of UAV technology, and the benefits and
challenges associated with its use in various industries and fields.Comment: 6 pages, IEEE Conferenc
Precision Medicine Informatics: Principles, Prospects, and Challenges
Precision Medicine (PM) is an emerging approach that appears with the
impression of changing the existing paradigm of medical practice. Recent
advances in technological innovations and genetics, and the growing
availability of health data have set a new pace of the research and imposes a
set of new requirements on different stakeholders. To date, some studies are
available that discuss about different aspects of PM. Nevertheless, a holistic
representation of those aspects deemed to confer the technological perspective,
in relation to applications and challenges, is mostly ignored. In this context,
this paper surveys advances in PM from informatics viewpoint and reviews the
enabling tools and techniques in a categorized manner. In addition, the study
discusses how other technological paradigms including big data, artificial
intelligence, and internet of things can be exploited to advance the potentials
of PM. Furthermore, the paper provides some guidelines for future research for
seamless implementation and wide-scale deployment of PM based on identified
open issues and associated challenges. To this end, the paper proposes an
integrated holistic framework for PM motivating informatics researchers to
design their relevant research works in an appropriate context.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables, journal pape
