Abstract

 

 

 

 

 

Cooperative game theory has been enriched recently with several models, which provide decision making support in collaborative situations under uncertainty. Such models are generalizations of the classical model related with the type of the coalition values. In the sequel the characteristic functions are not real valued as in classical case, but they capture the uncertainty on the outcome of cooperation in its different forms such as interval, grey and fuzzy uncertainty.

To incorporate uncertainty in cooperative game theory is motivated by the real world, where noise in observation and experimental design, incomplete information and further vagueness in preference structures and decision making play an important role. This causes a great mathematical challenge which is approached and well understood in the case of interval uncertainty.

This talk surveys the mathematical foundations of cooperative interval game theory and its connection in economics and Operations Research situations.

Other types of cooperative games under uncertainty are also briefly mentioned.

Abstract

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the accelerated pace of life, people don’t want to spend more time on hospital registration, procedure, and other trivial things. Internet of medical things can help it by applying internet in medical staff, like the patient can make an appointment online, the personal information and the very first disease description can be sent to hospital information system and assigned to a doctor, which decreases time on waiting and personal information registration. For people living somewhere far away from medical resources, remote medical treatment may be a good choice to let the man away from distant puzzles. Even inside the hospital, the internet can be useful by sending physical checking messages from doctor to specialist for a traffic injured patient. Internet of medical things can be really helpful in our life, and we do need it.

The internet of medical things (IoMT), also known as healthcare IoT, describes almost any type of internet-connected medical or wellness device. From smart stethoscopes to consumer wearables, examples
of this trending development in healthcare tech continue to pop up.
In this lecture, a detailed conceptual methodology of concept and techniques deriving Internet of Medical Things and connected terminologies will be elaborated. The lecture will also outline, case studies, latest technologies and research orientations.
