Efficient Data Query in Intermittently-Connected Mobile Ad Hoc Social Networks Abstract This work addresses the problem of how to enable efficient data query in a Mobile Ad-hoc SOcial Network (MASON), formed by mobile users who share similar interests and connect with one another by exploiting Bluetooth and/or WiFi connections. The data query in MASONs faces

Designing an Architecture for Monitoring Patients at Home Ontologies and Web Services for Clinical Abstract This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture based on the combination of ontologies, rules, web services, and the autonomic computing paradigm to manage data in home-based telemonitoring scenarios.   The architecture includes two layers: 1) a conceptual layer

Demand Bidding Program and Its Application in Hotel Energy Management Abstract Demand bidding program (DBP) is recently adopted in practice by some energy operators. DBP is a risk-free demand response program targeting large energy consumers. In this paper, we consider DBP with the application in hotel energy management. For DBP, optimization problem is formulated with

Decentralized Access Control with Anonymous Authentication of Data Stored in Clouds Abstract Cloud computing is a rising computing standard in which assets of the computing framework are given as a service over the Internet. As guaranteeing as it may be, this standard additionally delivers a lot of people new challenges for data security and access

Congestion Aware Routing in Nonlinear Elastic Optical Networks Abstract In elastic optical networks, digital coherent transceivers modify their symbol rate, modulation format, and forward error correction to best serve the network demands. In a nonlinear elastic optical network, these parameters are inherently coupled with the routing algorithm. We propose to use congestion aware routing in

COMIC Cost Optimization for Internet Content Multihoming Abstract Content service is a type of Internet cloud service that provides end-users plentiful contents. To ensure high performance for content delivering, content service utilizes a technology known as content multihoming: contents are generated from multiple geographically distributed data centers and delivered by multiple distributed content distribution networks

Behavior Rule Specification-Based Intrusion Detection for Safety Critical Medical Cyber Physical System Abstract We propose and analyze a behavior-rule specification-based technique for intrusion detection of medical devices embedded in a medical cyber physical system (MCPS) in which the patient’s safety is of the utmost importance. We propose a methodology to transform behavior rules to a

An Ontology-Based Hybrid Approach to Activity Modeling for Smart Homes Abstract Activity models play a critical role for activity recognition and assistance in ambient assisted living. Existing approaches to activity modeling suffer from a number of problems, e.g., model reusability, and incompleteness. In an effort to address these problems, we introduce an ontology-based hybrid approach

An Empirical Performance Evaluation of Relational Keyword Search Systems Abstract In the past decade, extending the keyword search paradigm to relational data has been an active area of research within the database and information retrieval (IR) community. A large number of approaches have been proposed and implemented, but despite numerous publications, there remains a severe

ALBA-R Load-Balancing Geographic Routing Around Connectivity Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract This paper presents ALBA-R, a protocol for convergecasting in wireless sensor networks. ALBA-R features the cross-layer integration of geographic routing with contention-based MAC for relay selection and load balancing (ALBA), as well as a mechanism to detect and route around connectivity holes (Rainbow).
