SPOC A Secure and Privacy-Preserving Opportunistic Computing Framework for Mobile-Healthcare Emergency Abstract With the pervasiveness of smart phones and the advance of wireless body sensor networks (BSNs), mobile Healthcare (m-Healthcare), which extends the operation of Healthcare provider into a pervasive environment for better health monitoring, has attracted considerable interest recently. However, the flourish of m-Healthcare

SinkTrail A Proactive Data Reporting Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract In large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), leveraging data sinks’ mobility for data gathering has drawn substantial interests in recent years. Current researches either focus on planning a mobile sink’s moving trajectory in advance to achieve optimized network performance, or target at collecting a small

Security and Privacy-Enhancing Multi cloud Architectures Abstract Security challenges are still among the biggest obstacles when considering the adoption of cloud services. This triggered a lot of research activities, resulting in a quantity of proposals targeting the various cloud security threats. Alongside with these security issues, the cloud paradigm comes with a new set of

Security Analysis of a Single Sign-On Mechanism for Distributed Computer Networks Abstract Single sign-on (SSO) is a new authentication mechanism that enables a legal user with a single credential to be authenticated by multiple service providers in a distributed computer network. Recently, Chang and Lee proposed a new SSO scheme and claimed its security by

Scalable and Secure Sharing of Personal Health Records in Cloud Computing Using Attribute-Based Encryption Abstract Personal health record (PHR) is an emerging patient-centric model of health information exchange, which is often outsourced to be stored at a third party, such as cloud providers. However, there have been wide privacy concerns as personal health information could

Relationships between Diversity Classification Ensembles and Single-Class Performance Measures Abstract In class imbalance learning problems, how to better recognize examples from the minority class is the key focus, since it is usually more important and expensive than the majority class. Quite a few ensemble solutions have been proposed in the literature with varying degrees of

Region-Based Foldings in Process Discovery Abstract A central problem in the area of Process Mining is to obtain a formal model that represents the processes that are conducted in a system. If realized, this simple motivation allows for powerful techniques that can be used to formally analyze and optimize a system, without the need to

Ranking on Data Manifold with Sink Points Abstract Ranking is an important problem in various applications, such as Information Retrieval (IR), natural language processing, computational biology, and social sciences. Many ranking approaches have been proposed to rank objects according to their degrees of relevance or importance. Beyond these two goals, diversity has also been recognized

Quality-Differentiated Video Multicast in Multirate Wireless Networks Abstract Adaptation of modulation and transmission bit-rates for video multicast in a multirate wireless network is a challenging problem because of network dynamics, variable video bit-rates, and heterogeneous clients who may expect differentiated video qualities. Prior work on the leader-based schemes selects the transmission bit-rate that provides reliable

Pulse Switching Toward a Packet-Less Protocol Paradigm for Event Sensing Abstract This paper presents a novel pulse switching protocol framework for ultra light-weight wireless network applications. The key idea is to abstract a single Ultra Wide Band (UWB) pulse as the information switching granularity. Pulse switching is shown to be sufficient for on-off style event
