Digital Twins in Healthcare
Exploring the opportunity for applying digital twins in the healthcare context is an emerging research area that has the potential to support more personalised care. A recognised aspect in cancer care is the need for more personalised treatment planning to complement the recent advances in precision medicine. This work is one of the first attempts to use digital twins in this capacity and represents an amalgamation of three key domains: clinical, digital health and computer science respectively.

Open Source Cloud Solution for Internet of Things
OpenIoT is an open source middleware for getting information from sensor clouds, without worrying what exact sensors are used. Read more about the project and Internet-of-Things technologies. Largely discussed, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) will be an integral component of the Future Internet (FI) and therefore should be smoothly integrated within FI service delivery models and the emerging utility based cloud computing paradigms.
OpenIoT investigates the efficient ways to formulate and manage IoT cloud-based environments i.e. environments comprising IoT “entities” and resources (such as sensors, actuators and smart devices) running on the cloud and offering utility-based (i.e. pay-as-you-go) IoT services.OpenIoT is perceived as a natural extension to cloud computing implementations, which will allow access to additional and increasingly important IoT based resources and capabilities. In particular, OpenIoT researches and provide the means for formulating and managing environments comprising IoT resources, which can deliver on-demand utility IoT services such as sensing as a service as an example, in multiple domains.
OpenIoT is pertinent to a wide range of interrelated scientific and technological areas spanning: (a) Middleware for sensors and sensor networks, (b) Ontologies, semantic models and annotations for representing internet-connected objects, along with semantic open-linked data techniques (c) Cloud/Utility computing, including utility based security and privacy schemes.
