Mobile platform coupled with Trusted Computing!

Shahbaz: see what people are doing in mobile technology. You mentioned some where that Adnan had offered you to work for a mobile technology. If all of your work can shaped to this mobile technology, it will be very nice. Consider distributed devices as mobile phones, not only PC’s in your idea. Got it!

The following talk will be in our group on 26th of June. I will update you people, if some one is interested!

ABSTRACT:
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is based on a self-organizing and rapidly deployed network of mobile devices to exchange information without using any pre-existing fixed network infrastructure. Mobile services (M-services) suit the healthcare scenarios in terms of the healthcare providers have to be highly cooperative and collaborative in an ad hoc manner. To meet the needs of highly mobile patients in healthcare institutions, mobile devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and tablet PCs are being used for storing entire patient histories and physicals, research data collection forms, the physician’s reference desk, current care plans, and drug orders, as m-services. However, many healthcare institutions find it difficult to build such an infrastructure that can fully address privacy access control requirements, especially in light of recent changes in health privacy legislative environment. One reason is the lack of clear linkages from privacy considerations at a management-level conceptualization to the technology implementations of privacy access control mechanisms and solutions. The primary focus of this research project is the privacy access control enforcement model for healthcare applications of adapting mobile devices over MANETs in terms of emerging communication technologies. In particular, the major research challenge is that the mobile devices come together on an ad hoc basis in the sense that the devices had not been programmed a priori to work with each other. This talk will give an overview of all the related research issues in this context and discuss the future research directions.

Its good and it might be useful but I don’t think switching from one domain to another so quickly is a wise thing to do. It would be appropriate to be far sighted once and then work for it. Maybe if other people like mr adnan or some student join us then it will be fine.
