The study shows similar results between the two treatments in terms of local recurrences, distant metastases, and probability of survival for rectal cancer.
Currently, physical objects are integrated and connected in the networks to provide services for people performing the well-known Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. IoT environments are characterized by a high degree of devices heterogeneity and network protocols, where each object may have different processing capabilities or different communication patterns, making a lack of standardization in IoT. This demands a dynamic and context-aware configuration management system. Currently, in the literature, there are no management platforms that address IoT issues, such as scalability, heterogeneity, and context-aware. For this purpose, the study elaborates on available policies and solutions for network management and devices in IoT, highlighting and discussing the features of each studied project, identifying open research issues on the topic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
