Summary: ML systems are increasingly used for achieving high productivity and effectiveness, especially when combined with advanced technologies like IoT and e-Health systems. However, the execution environment of ML faces various threats, which can be addressed through blockchain technology. This paper proposes a secure approach to protect the decision process of learning models by incorporating smart contracts and deploying SVM and MLP classifiers on-chain. A case study on medical records demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach, with SVM showing higher prediction scores and MLP exhibiting higher time efficiency.

Summary: Decision Support System (DSS) is used to manage man-made and natural phenomena, such as flood disasters, and achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The study designs different stages of a novel DSS system for monitoring, predicting, and controlling floods, using machine learning computations and multi-criteria decision-making techniques. The integration of artificial intelligence and Ward computations helps analyze heterogeneous rainfall data in different provinces of Iran, and prioritize strategies for early decision-making in flood disasters through Pre-FA, DFA, and Post-FA activities.

Summary: Indoor air quality is crucial for protecting the health of occupants. Poor ventilation has been shown to increase the risk of airborne virus transmission. Existing ventilation systems are not designed for pandemic conditions, making indoor environments potential hotspots for virus transmission. To address this issue, we developed a blockchain-based prototype that integrates smart sensor data and infection risk assessments to support decision-making by building owners.

Summary: Shared decision making (SDM) is a collaborative process that involves discussing preference-sensitive decisions with patients in an accessible format, allowing them to select an option that aligns with their values and preferences within the context of evidence-based medicine. Although SDM has shown to improve certain quality of care metrics and is included in competencies developed by accreditation bodies, incorporating SDM competencies into clinical teaching can be challenging.

Summary: We have implemented a new recommender system (RS) metaheuristic framework that reduces the solution search space in a nonlinear NP-hard decision-making problem. Our RS-based metaheuristic supports comprehensive evaluation criteria and is compatible with established RS evaluation metrics. It achieves near-optimal solution scores through deep learning training, enables fast parameter inference, and allows for the reuse of the trained RS module for traditional ranking. When tested, it significantly reduces computation time while maintaining high solution scores.
