Towards a Social and Semantic Web Platform for Sharing Endogenous Knowledge to Adapt to Climate Change
H. TRAWINA, S. MALO, I. DIOP and Y. TRAORE
In this article, we focus on farmers' perceptions of climate change and their strategies for adapting cultures, which
constitute endogenous knowledge. This leads us to the three major challenges of opening, interconnecting and sharing endogenous knowledge through the use of different tools and methods of the semantic web (or linked open data(...)

Extraction of Relevant Data from SocialMedia Based on Termino-OntologicalResources: Application to MeningitisSurveillance via Twitter
W-P. R. C. Béré, G. Camara, S. Malo, S. Despres, M. Lo, S. Ouaro
In this paper, we present a process for collecting and filter-ing relevant data for epidemiological surveillance of meningitis. We focuson the African meningitis belt stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia. Thisstudy aims to fill the data gap for the early detection of epidemics basedon the analysis of social media. Our approach is based on previ(...)

Towards an Architecture for the Interoperability of Hospital Information Systems in Burkina Faso
Lydie Simone TAPSOBA, Yaya TRAORE, Sadouanouan MALO
The successful introduction of ICTs into medical practice is a key factor in improving the performance of any health system for both patients and healthcare professionals. In Burkina Faso, many hospital information systems (HIS) have been developed and are already widely used in large health centers with proven efficiency. To improve the quali(...)

Patterns for African smart cities semantic data integration
Ferdinand Guinko
Smart communities and cities is a topic widely presented in the scientific litterature. Numerous works have
been done presenting the concept of smart city. But there is still a need concerning the matter of data integration in smart communities and cities. In this paper, we have presented the Users application layer pattern, the Integration m(...)

Mobile Health Applications Future Trends and Challenges
Teddy Ivan Ibrahim Bessin, Alain Wilfried P. Ouédraogo, Ferdinand Guinko
Digital technologies are now a big part of the healthcare industry. With the rapid evolution of information and telecommunication technologies, mobile phones offers amazing opportunities to improve healthcare system, in the way that physicians, patients and other health system actors are more interconnected than it is in the traditional health(...)

Analysis of the Impact of Permissions on the Vulnerability of Mobile Applications
Gouayon Koala, Didier BASSOLE, Aminata ZERBO/SABANE, Tegawende François D'Assise BISSYANDE, Oumarou SIE
In this paper, we explored the potential risks of authorizations unexplained by benign apps in order to maintain the confidentiality and availability of personal data. More precisely, we focused on the mechanisms for managing risk permissions under Android to limit the impact of these permissions on vulnerability vectors. We analyzed a sample(...)

The Statistical Correlation between Distortion and Adding Signal for PAPR Reduction in OFDM based Communication Systems
Désiré Guel, Boureima Zerbo, Jacques Palicot, Oumarou Sié
In recent past years, PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) of OFDM (Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing) system has been intensively investigated. Published works mainly focus on how to reduce PAPR. Since high PAPR will lead to clipping of the signal when passed through a nonlinear amplifier. This paper proposes to extend the work related(...)

Design and implementation of secure communication protocols for Internet of Things systems
Didier Bassole; Kisito K. Kabore; Yaya Traore; Oumarou Sie; Hatem Ben Sta
The security of Internet of Things (IoT) systems is a major issue for protection of data and safety of people. This requires developing solutions that address security issues related to the design of communication protocols between objects but also in the collection, processing, routing and storage of data. In this paper, we propose a methodol(...)

IDOMEN: An Extension of Infectious Disease Ontology for MENingitis
W-P. R. C. Béré, G. Camara, S. Malo, M. Lo, S. Ouaro
In sub-Saharan African countries the prevention and control of epidemic diseases requires the improvement of the surveillance system for these diseases. Biomedical ontologies are a growing field that can improve health information systems. Indeed biomedical ontologies allow semantic support, data integration, automated reasoning. We are buildi(...)

Gaussian Tone Reservation Clipping and Filtering for PAPR Mitigation
Yves Louet, Jacques Palicot, Désiré Guel
A Gaussian function for clipping associated to a Tone Reservation filtering is presented in this paper in order to decrease multicarrier Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The advantage of this approach is twofold: first, the Gaussian clipping function is a soft non-linear function which keeps constant the average power of the signal, which i(...)

Towards a conceptual framework for African smart cities semantic data integration
Ferdinand Guinko; Yaya Traore; Hatem Ben Sta
Smart cities are composed of a number of dimensions such as transportation system, education system, health system, governance system, etc., that generate great amount of data that are stored such as heap of data. But these heap of data remain independent one from another. In this paper, we have presented a conceptual framework for a smart cit(...)

Multi-Label Classification using an Ontology
Yaya TRAORE, MALO Sadouanouan, Didier BASSOLE, SERE Abdoulaye
During these last few years, the problem of multi-label classification (ML) has been studied in several domains, such as text categorization. Multi-label classification is a main challenging task because each instance can be assigned to multiple classes simultaneously. This paper studies the problem of Multi-label classification in the context(...)

A mobile cloud-based application for renal insufficiency patient monitoring
Lydie Simone Tapsoba, Ferdinand GUINKO, et Hatem Ben Sta,
Burkina Faso is witnessing a rising of Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). Despite numerous challenges to the healthcare systems, the government has recognized CKD as a top priority in his agenda and has set effective strategies against the disease. To go along with the government strategy we have proposed a mobile health application architecture f(...)
