An event-driven distributed processing architecture for image-guided cardiac ablation therapy

Voting in elections is the basis of democracy, but voting at polling stations may not be possible for all citizens. Remote (Internet) e-voting uses the voter's own equipment to cast votes, but is potentially vulnerable to many common attacks, which affect the election's integrity. Security can be improved by distributing vote processing over many web servers installed in tamper-resistant, secure environments, using the Smart Card Web Server (SCWS) on a mobile phone Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). A generic voting model is proposed, using a SIM/SCWS voting application with standardised Mobile Network Operator (MNO) management procedures to process the votes cast. E-voting systems Prêt à Voter and Estonian I-voting are used to illustrate the generic model. As the SCWS voting application is used in a distributed processing architecture, e-voting security is enhanced: to compromise an election, an attacker must target many individual mobile devices, rather than a centralised web server.

Distributed search techniques of Hadoop are researched and analyzed. Combined with Lucene indexing objects, a search engine system IS successfully built. Efficiency of the system in both time and space is investigated. Merit of distributed processing architecture for a single architecture in data handling is verified. The access and update of file information in distributed search technology are further explored. The research plays a positive role in promoting study of related fields
