We propose an information theoretical model to analyze blockchains. Recently, blockchain has become a trend in the technology domain. We proposed a model that will help to reduce challenges brought on/posed by this technology. This paper will cover three main sections. First is an introduction about Blockchain. Then, we introduce our method, in which we explain how the least action principle, maximum independent set, and N-Queen solutions are applied to analyze the security of blockchains. Finally, we present our case study implementation, and results.

In this paper is described the first steps taken toward building an operational model of case management. Case management is a tool for coordinated services delivery when selection requires specialized skills or knowledge, there are a multitude of providers, and access involves difficult-to-navigate processes. First is presented a discussion of the domain-diverse research approach, and the meaning of case management. Then, a representative history of healthcare delivery is presented to provide background for the current fragmented state of service delivery. Next, the project team's efforts are presented: describing the process of case management; investigating the flow of information through the system using communication theory; and partially deconstructing the system using Conant's method. Finally, proposed future work is discussed.

It has been anticipated that the Internet of Things (IoT) will play a significant role in the design of enterprise systems. In this paper the components associated with the design of IoT enabled enterprise systems is examined. Next, the development of a small scale home security system is presented as a case study.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the next Internet-related revolution. It allows billions of devices to be connected and communicate with each other to share information that improves the quality of our daily lives. On the other hand, Cloud Computing provides on-demand, convenient and scalable network access which makes it possible to share computing resources; indeed, this, in turn, enables dynamic data integration from various data sources. There are many issues standing in the way of the successful implementation of both Cloud and IoT. The integration of Cloud Computing with the IoT is the most effective way on which to overcome these issues. The vast number of resources available on the Cloud can be extremely beneficial for the IoT, while the Cloud can gain more publicity to improve its limitations with real world objects in a more dynamic and distributed manner. This paper provides an overview of the integration of the Cloud into the IoT by highlighting the integration benefits and implementation challenges. Discussion will also focus on the architecture of the resultant Cloud-based IoT paradigm and its new applications scenarios. Finally, open issues and future research directions are also suggested.
