The patient will have a real time information if their treatment/prescription is available in the pharmacy. Using a cloud solution will have all the information always available and without delays, the only requirement is the Internet connectivity.

Optimization of AUTOSAR Communication Stack in the Context of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

New trends in the automotive industry such as autonomous driving and Car2X require a large amount of data to be exchanged between different devices. Radar sensors are key components in developing vehicles of the future, therefore these devices are used in a large spectrum of applications, where data traffic is of paramount importance. As a result, communication traffic volumes have become more complex, leading to the research of optimization approaches to be applied at the AUTOSAR level.

Environment Monitoring System Raising Awareness of Sensitive Inhabitants Based on Regression Predictive Modelling.

The system described in this paper notifies the user about possible indoor environmental hazards through a smartphone application. Events such as house fires or increasing levels of dangerous substances are detected; thus, raising the awareness level in regard to the quality of the indoor environment. Our solution is a system that monitors the environment within a room in order to avoid undesired health hazards.
