Growing organizations, institutions, and SMEs demand for transformation in all the aspects of their businesses along with the progression in time and technology. When it comes to healthcare, the growth should be heightened to higher levels with necessity. The need of providing quality of service (QoS) in healthcare is taking significant place, allowing health institutions and medical compliances to develop an ecosystem with cutting-edge technology with the same reliability but better productivity and performance. Moreover, the healthcare systems are aiming for a more patient-centric strategy. Healthcare systems work on complicated and traditional methods, oftentimes administered via teams of professionals who manage data and supportive mechanisms of the system. Blockchain could streamline and automate those methods, conserving weeks of effort in the company's production line to increase the overall revenue and discover new opportunities. This chapter aims to illustrate blockchain technology along with its state-of-the-art applications in healthcare.

Cloud computing is the cutting edge technology in the information field to provide services to the users over the internet through web–based tools and applications. One of the major aspects of cloud computing is load balancing. Challenges like Quality of service (QoS) metrics and resource utilization can be improved by balancing the load in cloud environment. Specific scheduling criteria can be applied using load balancing for users prioritization. This paper surveys different load balancing algorithms. The approaches that are existing are discussed and analyzed to provide fair load balancing and also a comparative analysis was presented for the performance of the existing different load balancing schemes.

Seaport terminals are important intermediaries in international trade. One issue that is critical to the performance and survival of port terminals is the quality of the services provided. However, to improve the quality of the service of these terminals, it is important to know the expectations of the customers and the perceptions about the quality of the service. Regardless, very little is known about customer expectations and perceptions of the quality of service at Vietnam seaport terminals. Therefore, this document offers a comparative analysis of the quality of service of the South East Vietnam seaport terminals using the Gap Score Technique of the Service Quality (QoS) Model (SERVQUAL). It is found that, in general, all examined selected terminals have a low quality of service. With the average gap score per QoS dimension for all selected terminals, transparency has the best QoS (lowest gap score), while responsiveness has the lowest QoS (highest gap score). The implication is that import terminals strive to improve the quality of service. More attention should be paid to improving responsiveness by providing fast services, assisting customers, and letting them know exactly when services are being performed.

The current internet architecture cannot manage the massive data volumes produced by the smart IoT-based healthcare systems. Very recently, the idea of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has surfaced to resolve the issues related to networking. The incorporation of SDN technology in IoT-based healthcare systems can possibly solve the existing quality of service and data management issues. Furthermore, the IoT-based healthcare system can attain enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) through the employment of such schemes that use shortest-path routing algorithms and offer higher bandwidth to lesser delay paths as per the QoS requirements. In this study, the SDN technology is integrated with IoT-based healthcare systems, and the delay is reduced for delay-sensitive applications by using the Bellman-Ford algorithm. The proposed scheme is deployed using the POX controller and can effectively handle the existing QoS issues in the IoT healthcare systems. The simulation results of the proposed scheme show a clear drop in delay values in comparison to the benchmark scheme.
