ABSTRACT

Data modeling in the context of database design is a challenging task for any database designer, even more so for novice designers. A proper database schema is a key factor for the success of any information systems, hence conceptual data modeling that yields the database schema is an essential process of the system development. However, novice designers encounter difficulties in understanding and implementing such models. This study aims to identify the difficulties in understanding and implementing data models and explore the origins of these difficulties. This research examines the data model produced by students and maps the errors done by the students. The errors were classified using the SOLO taxonomy. The study also sheds light on the underlying reasons for the errors done during the design of the data model based on interviews conducted with a representative group of the study participants. We also suggest ways to improve novice designer's performances more effectively, so they can draw more accurate models and make use of advanced design constituents such as entity hierarchies, ternary relationships, aggregated entities, and alike. The research findings might enrich the data body research on data model design from the students' perspectives.

  HYBRID ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS FOR MEDICAL DATA STORAGE SECURITY IN CLOUD DATABASE Fenghua Zhang1，Yaming Chen2，Weiming Meng3 and Qingtao Wu4 1Computer Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 2,3Computer Science and Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 4Professor, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China ABSTRACT Cloud database are derivatives of Cloud computing. At present, most medical institutions store data in cloud database. Although the cloud database improves the efficiency of use, it also poses a huge impact and challenge to the secure storage of data. The article proposes a hybrid algorithm to solve the data security problem in the hospital cloud database. First, the AES algorithm is improved. The improved algorithm is called P-AES algorithm. The P-AES algorithm is then combined with the RSA algorithm, called a hybrid algorithm. The experimental results show that the hybrid enc...
