... In our approach to defining a new business model, we focus primarily on the smart waste management domain, without attempt to make it generic to meet the needs of other domains. However, one of the features of our SLA provisioning mechanism is that it is generic and can be applied across domains-this work is presented in more detail in [12]. ...

... E-health promises to provide comprehensive treatment of chronic patients in rural areas, by means of innovative tools (such as Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), patient portals, telehealth and personal health records (PHRs)) and state of the art technologies (such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and High Performance Computing (HPC)) to support innovative integrated models for self-care from home, powered by a large diversity of personal data, and supported by an ecosystem for wellbeing to help motivate patients and engage a large community of support around the patient. Although several infrastructures and mobile apps have been developed so far for enabling integrated self-care for improving chronic patient's wellbeing, they usually focus on a single domain such as mental health [9], stress [10], frailty [11], COVID-19 [12], cancer [13,14] etc. ...

... Another study which was proposed by [79] aimed to address the challenges regarding security and identity management in IoT devices. This work leverages DLTs and SSI in order to grant total ownership and control over users' identities. ...

... Matthew et al. [19] proposed an unobtrusive pose recognition using five IR array sensors with a 32 × 31 resolution. The data are collected and classified using a CNN. ...

... The FH carries the data, control, synchronization and operation & maintenance signals. 5G developments challenges current FH transport and next-generation FH interface, radio-over-fiber, and xHaul were investigated in [32], [145]- [147]. Some more details are mentioned in the next sub-sections. ...

... Thus, it is possible to analyze textures of different sizes with LBP. An example of different LBP operators is given in Fig. 1 [38]. The LBP value obtained by combining the neighboring labels is used as a unique identifier for the center pixel [39,40]. ...

... Blockchain, as discussed earlier is an innovative distributed technology that provides immutability, integrity, and security to manipulated data. Combining the blockchain technology with cloud infrastructure facilitates with more promising solutions to IoT environment [5]. Initially, the blockchain technology was designed for the security of the public digital ledger of Bitcoin cryptocurrency used for economic transactions only [6]. ...

... Many breast density classification tasks are based on image features of local pattern operators [70,[73][74][75][76][77][78]. In 2012, ...

... Since 2019, the scientific community has been addressing the issue of the integration between DAGbased DLTs and IoT. After demonstrating the potential benefits of the union between the two [4]- [6], the DLT that best * * Corresponding author: Mario Merone (email: m.merone@unicampus.it). fits the requirements of IoT applications has been identified with IOTA [7], whose scalability has been experimentally demonstrated [8]- [10]. ...

... Following binarization, we applied the Canny algorithm [7] for the purpose of edge detection where a rough outer edge of the breast, excluding the pectoral muscle region, is found; see Fig. 1b. While there exist different ways for the purpose of edge detection, the Canny algorithm is very appealing for its simplicity and effectiveness in edge detection as discussed in several papers [8][9][10]. ...
