Final presentation is a useful and valuable tool for students and scholars. | Academic | Knowledge Grid | Europe (Poland) |
| Caballé, Miguel, Xhafa, Capuano and Conesa (2017) | Using trustworthy web services for secure e-assessment in collaborative learning grids | This paper presented a framework that integrate flexible and interoperable Web based secure e-learning services based on trustworthiness model into e-assessment activities in on-line collaborative learning courses. This service-oriented secure assessment model combined both technological security solutions and functional trustworthiness services | Academic | Grid computing | Europe (Spain, Italy) |
| McCloughlin and Matthews (2017) | Personal Constructions of Biological Concepts – The Repertory Grid Approach | A review of repertory grid analysis as a tool for investigating the structures of students’ representations of biological concepts was carried out. The biological concepts examined are ‘natural kinds’: a technical class of concepts which ‘appear’ to have invisible ‘essences’ meaning carrying more perceptual weight than being perceptually similar. | Academic | Grid computing | Europe (Dublin, Ireland) |
| Raja, Pandian, Pamina (2017) | Certificate Revocation Mechanism in Mobile ADHOC Grid Architecture | In this paper, the grid architecture was designed by using trace based approach to trace the mobile nodes and thus removed the malicious nodes using the revocation mechanism. The mobility of the nodes which is the major problem in the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) was fixed by carefully determining the position and stability time parameters of the mobile nodes. | Communication | Grid computing | Asia (India) |
| Murumba and Micheni (2017) | Grid Computing For Collaborative Research Systems in Kenyan Universities | This paper identified opportunities, benefits and challenges in using grid technologies to support collaborative research in universities especially Kenyan and encourages developing countries to adopt it because of its benefits | Academics | Grid computing | Africa (Kenya) |
| Nhien-An Le-Khac, Kechadi and Carthy (2017) | Admire Framework: Distributed Data Mining (DDM) On Data Grid Platforms | This paper presented the ADMIRE architecture; a new framework based on Grid infrastructure for implementing DDM techniques. It is more dynamic and autonomous in the mining, integrating and processing phases. | commercial and academic applications | Grid and peer to peer system | Europe (Dublin, Ireland) |
| Aouad, Nhien-An Le-Khac, and Tahar Kechadi (2017) | Variance-based Distributed Clustering | In this paper, the need for efficient distributed and grid-based clustering algorithms was presented. Therefore, distributed algorithm based on a variance constraint was proposed. This algorithm improves the quality of clustering while compared with classical local centralized and finds real global data nature. | General | Grid system | Europe (Dublin, Ireland) |
