Afanasyev, Ilya, Mazzara, Manuel, Chakraborty, Subham, Zhuchkov, Nikita, Maksatbek, Aizhan, Kassab, Mohamad, Distefano, Salvatore
Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics cannot be considered two separate domains these days. Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT) is a concept that has been recently introduced to describe the integration of robotics technologies in IoT scenarios. As a consequence, these two research fields have started interacting, and thus linking research communities. In this paper we intend to make further steps in joining the two communities and broaden the discussion on the development of this interdisciplinary field. The paper provides an overview, analysis and challenges of possible solutions for the Internet of Robotic Things, discussing the issues of the IoRT architecture, the integration of smart spaces and robotic applications.

This is known as cloud computing, distributed planning and management, and the classical Blockchain Trilemma - when it comes to the distributed ledgers provides and optimistic outlook towards choice two of the three between decentralization, scalability increasingly popular technological solutions such as the Internet and security [12]. One of the scaling methods that does not of Robotic Things (IoRT) [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and the compromise security or decentralization is called sharding, Blockchain-based Multi-Agent Robotic Systems (MARS) [6], which involves fragmentation of the available dataset into [7], [8], [9]. It is known that one of the important problems smaller datasets called shards [11], [12]. Although multi-agent in developing multi-robot systems is the design of strategies robotic systems (MARS) are not so critical to scalability and for their coordination in such a way that the robots could speed as the financial and big data-based systems, they are effectively perform their operations and reasonably coordinate nevertheless also very sensitive to delays and throughput of the task allocation among themselves [10]. Real-world scenarios the information channels at data exchange between agents.
Prediction of Malignant & Benign Breast Cancer: A Data Mining Approach in Healthcare Applications
Kumar, Vivek, Mishra, Brojo Kumar, Mazzara, Manuel, Thanh, Dang N. H., Verma, Abhishek
As much as data science is playing a pivotal role everywhere, healthcare also finds it prominent application. Breast Cancer is the top rated type of cancer amongst women; which took away 627,000 lives alone. This high mortality rate due to breast cancer does need attention, for early detection so that prevention can be done in time. As a potential contributor to state-of-art technology development, data mining finds a multi-fold application in predicting Brest cancer. This work focuses on different classification techniques implementation for data mining in predicting malignant and benign breast cancer. Breast Cancer Wisconsin data set from the UCI repository has been used as experimental dataset while attribute clump thickness being used as an evaluation class. The performances of these twelve algorithms: Ada Boost M 1, Decision Table, J Rip, Lazy IBK, Logistics Regression, Multiclass Classifier, Multilayer Perceptron, Naive Bayes, Random forest and Random Tree are analyzed on this data set. Keywords- Data Mining, Classification Techniques, UCI repository, Breast Cancer, Classification Algorithms
A Conjoint Application of Data Mining Techniques for Analysis of Global Terrorist Attacks -- Prevention and Prediction for Combating Terrorism
Kumar, Vivek, Mazzara, Manuel, Gen., Maj., Messina, Angelo, Lee, JooYoung
Terrorism has become one of the most tedious problems to deal with and a prominent threat to mankind. To enhance counter-terrorism, several research works are developing efficient and precise systems, data mining is not an exception. Immense data is floating in our lives, though the scarce availability of authentic terrorist attack data in the public domain makes it complicated to fight terrorism. This manuscript focuses on data mining classification techniques and discusses the role of United Nations in counter-terrorism. It analyzes the performance of classifiers such as Lazy Tree, Multilayer Perceptron, Multiclass and Na\"ive Bayes classifiers for observing the trends for terrorist attacks around the world. The database for experiment purpose is created from different public and open access sources for years 1970-2015 comprising of 156,772 reported attacks causing massive losses of lives and property. This work enumerates the losses occurred, trends in attack frequency and places more prone to it, by considering the attack responsibilities taken as evaluation class.
