Advances in Research on Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring
Civil structures today are facing unprecedented challenges brought on by their modern design and more frequent natural disasters. The rapid development of engineering materials makes it possible to design and construct more slender structures with longer spans and taller heights. These structures' vulnerability to various dynamic excitations and the control of the resulting large-amplitude vibrations have become predominant issues. In addition to this, intensive research effort is urgently needed to examine the dynamic behavior of structures under extreme loading conditions such as damaging wind and devastating earthquakes. To ensure the safe performance and serviceability of structures during their lifespan, in addition to properly addressing the characteristics associated with loading and structural response, and evaluating the effectiveness of implemented vibration control solutions, monitoring actual structural parameters to accurately assess the health of a structure during its service life is imperative.This Special Issue "Advances in Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring" aims to collect and disseminate the latest developments in the dynamic analysis and health monitoring of civil structures to reflect current research trends and challenges in these fields. We invite original research, in terms of analysis and design methods, numerical modeling, experimental testing, field measurements, and case studies, as well as state-of-the-art review papers.

Island Tinkerers
How Taiwan rose to global prominence in high tech manufacturing, from computer maker to the world's leading chip manufacturer. How did Taiwan, a former Japanese colony and the last fortress of the defeated Chinese Nationalists, ascend to such heights in high-tech manufacturing? In Island Tinkerers, Honghong Tinn tells the critical history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan, including engineers, technologists, technocrats, computer users, and engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, helped transform the country with their hands-on engagement with computers. Rather than engaging in wholesale imitation of US sources, she explains, these technologists tinkered with imported computing technology and experimented with manufacturing their own versions, resulting in their own brand of successful innovation. Defying the stereotype of "the West innovates, and the East imitates," Tinn tells the story of Taiwanese technologists' efforts over the past six decades. Beginning in the 1960s, they grappled with the "black-boxed" computers that were newly available through international technical-aid programs. Shortly after, multinational corporations that outsourced transistor and integrated circuit assembly overseas began employing Taiwanese engineers and factory workers. Island tinkerers developed strategies to adapt, modify, assemble, and work with computers in an inventive manner. It was through this creative and ingenious tinkering with computers that they were able to gain a better understanding of the technology, opening the door to future manufacturing endeavors that now include Acer, Foxconn, Asus, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
Improvement of Healthcare Services using Metadata
In today's fast growing world we have analyzed distributed data sources publishing up to gigabytes of data each day, accumulating over the period of several months to the terabyte scale. This raises the challenge of how to efficiently store these distributed datasets, both in working caches for fast real-time access and archived forms which can be rein satiated for offline data analysis. In this paper, we have presented the processing services need to access several datasets at once to produce intelligent data fusion results, which are subsequently made available to decision makers in real-time. Since it is challenging to analyze all the results efficiently we have to make a solution of making the processing faster and more efficient. Here we are designing a method using Metatags to reduce the processing time and load of the existing systems. The metatags basically define the various attributes of data files and provide us options to access the files on the basis of selecting attributes. In proposed system light weight and heavy weight semantic is being separated on the basis of size. Above 10 are being added to heavy weight list and below 10 are added to light weight list.

Deep Learning
Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) when untreated, will cause several problems. Identifying diabetes at an early stage is an important factor because; disproportionate blood glucose levels will damage even the small vessels of blood in our heart, kidneys, eyes and can also affect the nervous system. The major hurdle in the management of T2DM is the lack of awareness of people towards lifestyle habits. So, a literature survey was performed and it was realized that there is an increase in interest of various researchers to set up an automated medical system which can screen and analyze the T2DM based datasets, for classification and prediction of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The performed study identifies that design and development of an accurate, effective and efficient classifier for T2DM classification is the need of time. Thus, an accurate, effective and efficient classification model is proposed and evaluated for T2DM diagnosis and treatment.

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing delivers IT services quickly via the Internet, offering various models like SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Among these, cloud storage is popular for securely storing user data. However, ensuring secure storage and retrieval while maintaining confidentiality, reliability, and availability (QoS parameters) is crucial. Different users prioritize these parameters differently, and they expect optimal costs. To address this, the author proposes a framework that optimizes the cost of dispersing data across multiple locations while fulfilling the user's QoS requirements. The need of maintaining the QoS parameters can be accomplished by dividing the data into pieces and storing them at different data centers using information dispersal algorithm. The strategy uses concepts from the knapsack problem to find an optimal tradeoff between cost and QoS. Performance analysis through different case studies shows that increasing the number of data centers significantly expands the range of dispersal options available to users, allowing them to choose the most cost-effective plan that meets their needs.

Parallelization of Automotive Control Software
Automotive control software is developed according to the AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) standard. High development costs require the re-use of existing software when the hardware platform changes from a single-core to a multicore electronic control unit (ECU). This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the migration of AUTOSAR legacy software to a multicore ECU. Different parallelization methods are proposed and evaluated; RunPar and Supertasks on runnable-level, timed implicit communication on task-level, and the parallel schedule quality metric for quantification of combinations. The methods respect data dependencies and still enable parallel execution, they exploit the energy-saving potential of the processor, they guarantee latency constraints, and they reproduce the reference data-flow.
Blockchain Based Certificate Validation
In the digital world everything is digitalized. Therefore the certificate of SSLC, HSC, and academic certificate are digitalized in the educational institution and are provided to students. It is difficult for students to maintain their degree certificates. For the organization and institution, verification and validation of certificates are tedious and cumbersome. This project will help to store the certificate in the blockchain system and provide security. First, the paper certificates are converted into digital certificates. The chaotic algorithm is used to generate the hash code value for the certificate. Then the certificates are store in blockchain. And these certificates are validated by using the mobile application. By using blockchain technology we can provide a more secure and efficient digital certificate validation.
Sequence Analysis Algorithms for Bioinformatics Application
Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Computer Science - Bioinformatics, grade: N, language: English, abstract: The data from next generation sequencing technologies has led to an explosion in genome sequence data available in public databases. This data provides unique opportunities to study the molecular mechanisms of gene evolution: how new genes and proteins originate and how they diversify. A major challenge is retracing origin of extant genes or proteins, by searching existing databases for related sequences and identifying evolutionary similarities. Therefore, enhanced and faster search algorithms are being developed, e.g. on accelerators such as GPU, in order to cope with the huge size of today's DNA or protein sequence databases. Gene-Tracer is a tool was developed to localize the common sub-sequences between two ancestors and its offspring. Besides, compute percentages of ancestors' contributions in offspring. Gene-Tracer was developed to find the origin of unknown shuffling/offspring sequence. A database is scanned and the similarity between offspring sequence and each one in the database is computed using pairwise local sequence alignment algorithm. Based on similarity score, 100 sequences that have the highest score is re-aligned with shuffling sequence to determine length of common sub-sequences between them using local alignment algorithm. The two sequences that have longest sub-sequences with shuffling are the nearest origin to offspring. Swiss-port database contains around 400,000 proteins is used in the test. The execution time around hours. So, GPU is to accelerate the tool. Speedup is 84x using single-GPU Tesla C2075 versus Intel(c) Core(TM)i3 multiprocessor. Finally, the main contribution of work is developing fast tool that re-trace origins of unknown gene/protein sequences.

Behind the technology, computer science
Among the general public, and even in relatively well-informed circles, computer science is still rarely perceived as a science beyond its technical aspects. Given the growing importance of IT and digital technology in the economy and society, this is a regrettable state of affairs, and the absence of computer science as a secondary school subject only reinforces this view. The virtual museum represents a significant advance in the way we interact with art, culture and history. Thanks to digital technologies, these exhibition spaces transcend geographical and temporal boundaries, offering unprecedented access to precious collections and immersive experiences. Contributions from experts in computer science, museology and interactive design enrich this analysis, offering varied perspectives on how virtual museums can not only preserve our heritage, but also make it accessible.
