Online gambling, unlike other offline addiction forms, provides unprecedented opportunities for monitoring users’ behaviour in real-time, along with the ability to adapt persuasive interactions and messages that would match ...
A Blockchain-Based Notarization Service for Biomedical Knowledge Retrieval
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-08)
Biomedical research and clinical decision depend increasingly on scientific evidence realized by a number of au-thoritative databases, mostly public and continually enriched via peer scientific contributions. Given the ...
A Blockchain-Based Platform for Consent Management of Personal Data Processing in the IoT Ecosystem
(Wiley, 2019-10-17)
A signifcant proportion of Internet of Tings (IoT) devices, which according to published reports will be more than 75 billion by 2025 [1], will soon surround users and will collect data that are likely to threaten users’ ...
A probabilistic semantic analysis of eHealth scientific literature
(Sage Journals, 2019-05-12)
Introduction: eHealth emerged as an interdisciplinary research area about 70 years ago. This study employs probabilistic techniques to semantically analyse scientific literature related to the field of eHealth in order to ...
