Forecasting NFT Prices on Web3 Blockchain Using Machine Learning to Provide SAAS NFT Collectors

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are one-of-a-kind digital items with static or continuous visual and audio content. NFTs digitally represent any assets that may hold photos, gifs, audio, videos, or any other data-based storable material. These assets may come under a variety of asset groups, including art, in-game goods, and entertainment collecting units. What makes them appealing is their exclusivity, in the sense that each NFT is unique to itself, and ownership is determined by a digital certificate. In the first half of 2021, NFT sales totaled more than a billion. The NFT Software as a service (SAAS) based system is a one-of-a-kind offering and concept for thinking outside the box and presenting intellectuals and creative treasures and exhibiting these objects to ensure the security and integrity of digital assets. The existence of core decentralized networks allows for unrestricted access to this material as well as further analysis. Based on the Web3 Blockchain technology, these assets may be traded and represent next-generation ownership. In this paper, Adaptive Improved Convolutional Neural Networks (AICNN) are used to forecast NFT to provide a SAAS NFT collector. We also introduce Tree-seed Chaotic Atom Search Optimization (TSC-ASO) algorithm to optimize the forecasting process.

A Secure Two-Factor Authentication Framework in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing technology has brought tremendous evaluation in the arena of IT (information technology). This technology paves the path of starting business with lowest investment by availing infrastructure as a service (IAAS), platform as a service (PAAS) and software as a service (SAAS) pay per uses model. Cloud computing services can be quickly and easily provisioned and discharged with minimum efforts and service provider (SP) relationship. Cloud computing characteristics such as on demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, and rapid elasticity lead the demand of computing. Despite these features, this platform is free to security issues and attacks specifically in terms of communication because of unsecure authentication and privacy. However, strong user authentication procedure impedes illegal access to the SP which is the principal requirement for securing cloud computing ecosystem. In this regard, we attempt to propose possible counter measures for the cloud ecosystem. Hence, this paper presented a novel one way hash and nonce-based two-factor secure authentication scheme with traditional user IDs, password, and OTP verification procedure that resist brute force attack, session and account hijacking attack, MITM attacks, and replay attacks.

Abstract P2055: Incremental Impact of Stressful Situations in Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 Hypertensives: Insights From a Large Digital BP Management Service and Registry

Stressful conditions induce an increase in BP levels. It is often difficult to systematically record BP levels under those conditions. The current availability of digital data collection platforms may provide new insights on the changes of BP level under multiple conditions on a large scale. This study leverages the 298,621 BP values of 8992 subjects (2702 females, 48.8 ±13.4 y) consecutively accrued on a digital platform. This is a software-as-a-service (SAAS) platform for BP management leveraging innovative proprietary AI expert systems algorithms providing to patients progressive interpretation of the evolution of their BP and delivering highly personalized lifestyle interventions. Users access the service via App (iOS and Android). This service fosters the Class IA indication for HBPM of the 2017 AHA Hypertension Guidelines. Upon BP data entry (through connected devices, the smartphone health app, or manual entry after extensive validation) users are required to indicate any additional condition at the time of BP measurement including work, after exercising, during intense stress, during headache. Overall, in all subjects, we observed a significantly higher systolic +10.3±0.4mmHg and diastolic +5.1±0.3mmHg BP vs rest (Mean±SEM;95% C.I.) [9.4-11.25, p< 0,0001 and 5.1-11.25, p< 0,001; respectively]. Out of 8992 subjects, 1986 subscribed the lifestyle intervention program after self-declaring their usual BP range. Thus, according to the AHA Hypertension Guidelines, 325 subjects declared normal BP (Group N) values, while 1641 were normotensives (Group H). We analyzed the BP changes during stress in both normotensive and hypertensives, and we observed significant increase of both systolic (N: +6.7±0.7; [2.99-10.4] p=0.0004; H: +10.2±1.4 [7.49-12.9] p<0.0001) and diastolic BPs (N: +2.2±0.3; [2.99-10.4] p=0.0004; H: +6.0±0.3 [7.49-12.9] p<0.0001). These data support the notion of a more intense response to stress in hypertensives. These insights are useful for an appropriate and personalized treatment strategy in hypertensives. A digital SAAS platform is a strong adjunctive tool for a better management of hypertension.

Cloud based Dynamic Course Selection Framework using Network Graphs with Term Difficulty Estimation

The system developed in this paper uses a cloud based technology to implement and design a software as a service (SAAS) application for adaptive course selection and term difficulty estimation for a networked curriculum. The choice of courses in every term is completely in the hands of the students who enroll for a particular program in Universities. The order of courses taken in every term is ad hoc due to different factors like student interests, uncertainty about the student pass rates, frequent changes in admission policies and curriculum requirements. However, this choice of course plays a vital role in students graduating in time from the university. In this paper, we analyze student success ratios in terms of time to graduation. To illustrate the designed models, data from different colleges of the Public Authority of Applied Education and Training (PAAET), Kuwait, is used. Graph-based complex networks are used for analyzing the courses and how crucial they are. The difficulty levels of courses are estimated based on the institutional data from spring 2013 to fall 2016 and term difficulties are estimated based on the courses chosen. This work presents a robust framework which is adaptable to the courses chosen by the students and the ease of flow of students through the curriculum with the aim of improving the university’s graduation rate.

Designing Software as a Service in Cloud Computing Using Quality Function Deployment

Cloud computing is an approach to access the virtualized resources based on an integrated system. Flexibility, scalability, high accessibility, and cost-effectiveness are some features of this system. These advantages have caused a favorable reception of different cloud computing services, such as software as a service (SAAS), platform as a service (PAAS), and infrastructure as a service (IAAS) on the part of businesses. In this article, a model for SAAS services has been proposed as one of the cloud computing layers with the maximum adjustment between the dimensions and components of QFD-based customer requirements. QFD is a method that seeks to translate the customer's voice into the technical design requirement. For this purpose, the dimensions and components of customer requirements and the dimensions and components of designing were determined through the review of literature and consulting with the experts. Finally, the dimensions and components of final desirable outcome were determined for SAAS by stages to achieve a modified QFD. After the examination of dimensions and components, a comparison was made between the companies and finally the most effective customer needs and the target values were determined. Thus, an SAAS service was designed. The telecommunications and cloud computing service provider companies can satisfy the customers and achieve a competitive advantage in designing SAAS services using the results of this research.

BAMSI: a multi-cloud service for scalable distributed filtering of massive genome data

BackgroundThe advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has made whole-genome sequencing of cohorts of individuals a reality. Primary datasets of raw or aligned reads of this sort can get very large. For scientific questions where curated called variants are not sufficient, the sheer size of the datasets makes analysis prohibitively expensive. In order to make re-analysis of such data feasible without the need to have access to a large-scale computing facility, we have developed a highly scalable, storage-agnostic framework, an associated API and an easy-to-use web user interface to execute custom filters on large genomic datasets.ResultsWe present BAMSI, a Software as-a Service (SaaS) solution for filtering of the 1000 Genomes phase 3 set of aligned reads, with the possibility of extension and customization to other sets of files. Unique to our solution is the capability of simultaneously utilizing many different mirrors of the data to increase the speed of the analysis. In particular, if the data is available in private or public clouds – an increasingly common scenario for both academic and commercial cloud providers – our framework allows for seamless deployment of filtering workers close to data. We show results indicating that such a setup improves the horizontal scalability of the system, and present a possible use case of the framework by performing an analysis of structural variation in the 1000 Genomes data set.ConclusionsBAMSI constitutes a framework for efficient filtering of large genomic data sets that is flexible in the use of compute as well as storage resources. The data resulting from the filter is assumed to be greatly reduced in size, and can easily be downloaded or routed into e.g. a Hadoop cluster for subsequent interactive analysis using Hive, Spark or similar tools. In this respect, our framework also suggests a general model for making very large datasets of high scientific value more accessible by offering the possibility for organizations to share the cost of hosting data on hot storage, without compromising the scalability of downstream analysis.

Software as a Service (SAAS), Future of Information Technology and Business

Software as a service, or 'SaaS', is a software application delivery model by which an enterprise vendor develops a web-based software application, and then hosts and operates that application over the Internet for use by its customers. Customers do not need to buy software licenses or additional infrastructure equipment, and typically only pay monthly fees for using the software. SaaS applications provide customers with centralized, network-based access to data with much less overhead as compared to using a locally-installed application.
