    AVITECH Seminar series: December 14, 2018, Prof. Dusit Niyato, Blockchain

    You are cordially invited to join a visiting seminar organized by AVITECH.

    Title

    Some Aspects of Computer-Aided Diagnosis Applied on Medical Images

    Speaker

    Prof. Dusit Niyato, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

    Time: 14:00, Friday, December 14, 2018
    Venue: E3-212, 144 Xuan Thuy, Cau Giay, Hanoi

    ABSTRACT

    Public blockchain networks using proof of work-based consensus protocols are considered to be a promising platform for decentralized database management. In order to maintain a secured, universal state of the blockchain, proof of work-based consensus protocols financially incentivizes the nodes in the network to compete for the privilege of block generation through cryptographic puzzle solving. For rational consensus nodes, i.e., miners with limited local computational resources such as mobile devices, offloading the computation load for proof of work to the cloud/fog providers becomes a viable option. In this talk, we first introduce a general concept of blockchain and mining/consensus management. We then present incentive mechanisms based on game-theoretic models to optimize the mining strategies of the miners. Some future research directions are then discussed.

    More and more genetic and genomic testing are developed and approved to be used in clinic after human genome project finished in 2001. With the emerging of NGS in 2005, the genetic and genomic testing is further advanced and plays an important role in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. Were born later, epigenetic and epigenomic testing […]
