Under the frame of a project of ieee Computer Society for compiling a world history of informatics, at the end of1996 Russian National Sub-Committee of ieee Computer Society was working on historiography of Soviet and Russian informatics. To ascertain the chronology of the main events, the Committee looked through numerous documents and talked to those who had lived at the period when the first Soviet electronic computing machines had been developed. Thus the Committee established the dates when first computers were created, first programs written, first books and manuals were published and first university courses were read. The results were summed up in a paper on “Computers in Russia: Science, Education, and Industry”, published in ieee Annals of the History of computing (vol. 21, No. 3, Jul-Sept, 1999).

Social and health informatics has the potential of improving the general wellbeing and health of individuals. Although the structure and nature of health facilities and services in some countries may pose a challenge for a short while, such obstacles according to many studies will be streamlined in the near future. The widespread utilization and implementation of healthcare information system in the day-to-day health care operations will lead to cost effective clinical trials and self-healthcare management. On the other hand, recent rapid development of computer technology in this area has introduced a data explosion challenge. This paper provides brief background information on Social informatics and e-Health Systems. Follow by an overview of two hybrid intelligent techniques that might be utilized as a new generation of predictive analytics for big data particularly for knowledge discovery in big data and decision making processes in social systems.

This paper proposes a new framework for incremental learning based on incremental sampling scheme and rule layers constrained by inequalities of accuracy and coverage. Incremental sampling scheme shows that the number of patterns of updates of accuracy and coverage is four, which give two important inequalities of accuracy and coverage for induction of probabilistic rules. By using these two inequalities, the proposed method classifie a set of formulae into four layers: the rule layer, subrule layer (in and out) and the non-rule layer. Using these layers, updates of probabilistic rules are equivalent to their movement between layers. The proposed method was evaluated on datasets regarding headaches and meningitis, and the results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods.

This paper overviews problems with healthcare in the coming decade and emerging technologies in healthcare IT. The crucial point is integration of consumer healthcare data and electronic medical records for chronic disease management, where temporal granularity will be one of the most important technical challenges.

Emu lab is an emulation-based network test-bed constructed for research and education. It is used for building and testing applications in fields of information security and computer network. The application of Emu lab is being extended to parallel processing of scientific data. The DNA sequence search is one of major research areas in the bio-informatics. With the high-performance computing, the biologists can get their results easily and faster. mpiBLAST and mr-mpi-blast can process DNA sequence alignment on parallel computer. In this research, the research environments for mpiBLAST and mr-mpi-blast are built on Emu lab. Also, the DNA sequence alignment is performed with NCBI database. This research shows that the Emulab is an effective environment for the research of the bio-informatics.

This paper presents a framework for data processing on the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables data on multiple nodes on IoT to be locally processed as much as possible by using the Map Reduce processing without transmitting the data to data-centers or clusters, and assembled into a few nodes. This paper describes the design and implementation of the framework, basic performance, and practical application.

Article 1 of the United Nations Charter claims "human rights" and "fundamental freedoms" "without distinction as to [...] sex". Yet in 1995 the Human Development Report came to the sobering conclusion that "in no society do women enjoy the same opportunities as men" 1. Today, gender disparities remain a global issue and addressing them is a top priority for organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund. To track progress in this matter and to observe the effect of new policies, the World Economic Forum annually publishes its Global Gender Gap Report. This report is based on a number of offline variables such as the ratio of female-to-male earned income or the percentage of women in executive office over the last 50 years. In this paper, we use large amounts of network data from Google+ to study gender differences in 73 countries and to link online indicators of inequality to established offline indicators. We observe consistent global gender differences such as women having a higher fraction of reciprocated social links. Concerning the link to offline variables, we find that online inequality is strongly correlated to offline inequality, but that the directionality can be counter-intuitive. In particular, we observe women to have a higher online status, as defined by a variety of measures, compared to men in countries such as Pakistan or Egypt, which have one of the highest measured gender inequalities. Also surprisingly we find that countries with a larger fraction of within-gender social links, rather than across-gender, are countries with less gender inequality offline, going against an expectation of online gender segregation. On the other hand, looking at "differential assortativity", we find that in countries with more offline gender inequality women have a stronger tendency for withing-gender linkage than men. We believe our findings contribute to ongoing research on using online data for development and prove the feasibility of developing an autom
