Parallel Mining

In  this  paper,  context  awareness  is  a  promising  technology  that  provides  health care services and a niche  area of big data paradigm. The   drift  in  Knowledge  Discovery  from  Data  refers  to  a  set  of  activities  designed  to refine and  extract  new knowledge from complex  datasets.  The   proposed  model  facilitates  a  parallel  mining  of  frequent item sets for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) System [a.k.a. Health  Care [System]  of  big  data that  reside   inside  a  cloud  environment.  We  extend  a  knowledge  discovery framework for  processing  and  classifying  the  abnormal  conditions of patients having fluctuations in Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate(HR) and storing  this data  sets  called  Big data  into Cloud to access from  anywhere   when  needed.   This   accessed data is used to compare the new data with it, which helps to know the patients health condition.

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) has become the de-facto business process modelling language standard. Healthcare processes have been increasingly incorporating participants other than humans, including Internet of Things (IoT) physical devices such as biomedical sensors or patient electronic tags. Due to its critical requirements, IoT-aware healthcare processes justify the relevance of Quality of Services aspects, such as reliability, availability, and cost, among others. This chapter focuses on reliability and proposes to use the Stochastic Workflow Reduction (SWR) method to calculate the reliability of IoT-aware BPMN healthcare processes. In addition, the chapter proposes a BPMN language extension to provide processes with reliability information. This way, at design time, modellers can analyse alternatives and, at run time, reliability information can be used to select participants, execute services, or monitor process executions. The proposal is applied to an Ambient Assisted Living system use case, a rich example of an IoT-aware healthcare process.

Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) offers a potentially flexible and low cost method of locating objects and tracking people within buildings. RFID systems generally require less infrastructure to be installed than other solutions but have their own limitations. As part of an assisted living system, RFID tools may be useful to locate lost objects, support blind and partially sighted people with daily living activities, and assist in the rehabilitation of adults with acquired brain injury. This chapter outlines the requirements and the role of RFID in assisting people in these three areas. The development of a prototype RFID home support tool is described and some of the issues and challenges raised are discussed. The system is designed to support assisted living for elderly and infirm people in a simple, usable and extensible way in particular for supporting the finding and identification of commonly used and lost objects such as spectacles. This approach can also be used to extend the tagged domain to commonly visited areas, and provide support for the analysis of common activities, and rehabilitation.
