Encryption

IEEE-2015

Cloud storage services have become increasingly popular.

Because of the importance of privacy, many cloud storage
encryption schemes have been proposed to protect data from
those who do not have access. All such schemes assumed that
cloud storage providers are safe and cannot be hacked;
however, in practice, some authorities (i.e., coercers) may
force cloud storage providers to reveal user secrets or
confidential data on the cloud, thus altogether circumventing
storage encryption schemes. In this paper, we present our
design for a new cloud storage encryption scheme that
enables cloud storage providers to create convincing fake
user secrets to protect user privacy. Since coercers cannot
tell if obtained secrets are true or not, the cloud storage
providers ensure that user privacy is still securely protected.

Nowadays, more and more enterprises and organizations are

hosting their data into the cloud, in order to reduce the IT
maintenance cost and enhance the data reliability. However,
facing the numerous cloud vendors as well as their
heterogenous pricing policies, customers may well be
perplexed with which cloud(s) are suitable for storing their
data and what hosting strategy is cheaper. The general status
quo is that customers usually put their data into a single
cloud (which is subject to the vendor lock-in risk) and then
simply trust to luck. Based on comprehensive analysis of
various state-of-the-art cloud vendors, this paper proposes a
novel data hosting scheme (named CHARM) which
integrates two key functions desired. The first is selecting
several suitable clouds and an appropriate redundancy
strategy to store data with minimized monetary cost and
guaranteed availability. The second is triggering a transition
process to re-distribute data according to the variations of
data access pattern and pricing of clouds. We evaluate the
performance of CHARM using both trace-driven
simulations and prototype experiments. The results show
that compared with the major existing schemes, CHARM
not only saves around 20% of monetary cost but also
exhibits sound adaptability to data and price adjustments.

Cloud storage auditing is viewed as an important service to
verify the integrity of the data in public cloud. Current
auditing protocols are all based on the assumption that the
clients secret key for auditing is absolutely secure. However,
such assumption may not always be held, due to the possibly
weak sense of security and/or low security settings at the
client. If such a secret key for auditing is exposed, most of
the current auditing protocols would inevitably become
unable to work. In this paper, we focus on this new aspect of
cloud storage auditing. We investigate how to reduce the
damage of the clients key exposure in cloud storage
auditing, and give the first practical solution for this new
problem setting. We formalize the definition and the security
model of auditing protocol with key-exposure resilience and
propose such a protocol. In our design, we employ the binary
tree structure and the pre-order traversal technique to
update the secret keys for the client. We also develop a novel
authenticator construction to support the forward security
and the property of blockless verifiability. The security proof
and the performance analysis show that our proposed
protocol is secure and efficient.

In recent years, recommendation systems have seen

significant evolution in the field of knowledge engineering.
Most of the existing recommendation systems based their
models on collaborative filtering approaches that make them
simple to implement. However, performance of most of the
existing collaborative filtering based recommendation system
suffers due to the challenges, such as: (a) cold start, (b) data
sparseness, and (c) scalability. Moreover, recommendation
problem is often characterized by the presence of many
conflicting objectives or decision variables, such as users
preferences and venue closeness. In this paper, we proposed
MobiContext, a hybrid cloud based Bi Objective
Recommendation Framework (BORF) for mobile social
networks. The MobiContext utilizes multi objective
optimization
techniques
to
generate
personalized
recommendations. To address the issues pertaining to cold
start and data sparseness, the BORF performs data
preprocessing by using the Hub Average (HA) inference
model. Moreover, the Weighted Sum Approach (WSA) is
implemented for scalar optimization and an evolutionary
algorithm (NSGAII) is applied for vector optimization to
provide optimal suggestions to the users about a venue.
Cloud Computing moves the application software and
databases to the centralized large data centers, where the
management of the data and services may not be fully
trustworthy. In this work, we study the problem of ensuring
the integrity of data storage in Cloud Computing. To reduce
the computational cost at user side during the integrity
verification of their data, the notion of public verifiability
has been proposed. However, the challenge is that the
computational burden is too huge for the users with
resource-constrained devices to compute the public
authentication tags of file blocks. To tackle the challenge, we
propose OPoR, a new cloud storage scheme involving a cloud
storage server and a cloud audit server, where the latter is
assumed to be semi-honest. In particular, we consider the
task of allowing the cloud audit server, on behalf of the cloud
users, to pre-process the data before uploading to the cloud
storage server and later verifying the data integrity. OPoR
outsources the heavy computation of the tag generation to
the cloud audit server and eliminates the involvement of user
in the auditing and in the preprocessing phases.
Furthermore, we strengthen the Proof of Retrievabiliy (PoR)
model to support dynamic data operations, as well as ensure
security against reset attacks launched by the cloud storage
server in the upload phase.

To protect outsourced data in cloud storage against

corruptions, adding fault tolerance to cloud storage together
with data integrity checking and failure reparation becomes
critical. Recently, regenerating codes have gained popularity
due to their lower repair bandwidth while providing fault
tolerance. Existing remote checking methods for
regenerating-coded data only provide private auditing,
requiring data owners to always stay online and handle
auditing, as well as repairing, which is sometimes
impractical. In this paper, we propose a public auditing
scheme for the regenerating-code-based cloud storage. To
solve the regeneration problem of failed authenticators in the
absence of data owners, we introduce a proxy, which is
privileged to regenerate the authenticators, into the
traditional public auditing system model. Moreover, we
design a novel public verifiable authenticator, which is
generated by a couple of keys and can be regenerated using
partial keys. Thus, our scheme can completely release data
owners from online burden. In addition, we randomize the
encode coefficients with a pseudorandom function to
preserve data privacy. Extensive security analysis shows that
our scheme is provable secure under random oracle model
and experimental evaluation indicates that our scheme is
highly efficient .
As an effective and efficient way to provide computing
resources and services to customers on demand, cloud
computing has become more and more popular. From cloud
service providers perspective, profit is one of the most
important considerations, and it is mainly determined by the
configuration of a cloud service platform under given
market demand. However, a single long-term renting scheme
is usually adopted to configure a cloud platform, which
cannot guarantee the service quality but leads to serious
resource waste. In this paper, a double resource renting
scheme is designed firstly in which short-term renting and
long-term renting are combined aiming at the existing issues.
This double renting scheme can effectively guarantee the
quality of service of all requests and reduce the resource
waste greatly. Secondly, a service system is considered as an
M/M/m+D queuing model and the performance indicators
that affect the profit of our double renting scheme are
analyzed, e.g., the average charge, the ratio of requests that
need temporary servers, and so forth. Thirdly, a profit
maximization problem is formulated for the double renting
scheme and the optimized configuration of a cloud platform
is obtained by solving the profit maximization problem.

The need for low latency analysis over high-velocity data

streams motivates the need for distributed continuous
dataflow systems. Contemporary stream processing systems
use simple techniques to scale on elastic cloud resources to
handle variable data rates. However, application QoS is also
impacted by variability in resource performance exhibited
by clouds and hence necessitates dynamic dataflows which
utilize alternate tasks as additional control over the
dataflows cost and QoS. Further, we formalize an
optimization problem to represent deployment and runtime
resource provisioning that allows us to balance the
applications QoS, value, and the resource cost. We propose
two greedy heuristics, centralized and sharded, based on the
variable-sized bin packing algorithm and compare against a
Genetic Algorithm (GA) based heuristic that gives a nearoptimal solution. A large-scale simulation study, using the
Linear Road Benchmark and VM performance traces from
the AWS public cloud, shows that while GA-based heuristic
provides a better quality schedule, the greedy heuristics are
more practical, and can intelligently utilize cloud elasticity to
mitigate the effect of variability, both in input data rates and
cloud resource performance, to meet the QoS of fast data
applications.
Social network analysis is used to extract features of human
communities and proves to be very instrumental in a variety
of scientific domains. The dataset of a social network is often
so large that a cloud data analysis service, in which the
computation is performed on a parallel platform in the
could, becomes a good choice for researchers not
experienced in parallel programming. In the cloud, a
primary challenge to efficient data analysis is the
computation and communication skew (i.e., load imbalance)
among computers caused by humanitys group behavior
(e.g., bandwagon effect). Traditional load balancing
techniques either require significant effort to re-balance
loads on the nodes, or cannot well cope with stragglers. In
this paper, we propose a general straggler-aware execution
approach, SAE, to support the analysis service in the cloud.
It offers a novel computational decomposition method that
factors straggling feature extraction processes into more
fine-grained sub-processes, which are then distributed over
clusters of computers for parallel execution. Experimental
results show that SAE can speed up the analysis by up to
1.77 times compared with state-of-the-art solutions.

This paper proposes a service operator-aware trust scheme

(SOTS) for resource matchmaking across multiple clouds.
Through analyzing the built-in relationship between the
users, the broker, and the service resources, this paper
proposes a middleware framework of trust management that
can effectively reduce user burden and improve system
dependability. Based on multi-dimensional resource service
operators, we model the problem of trust evaluation as a
process of multi-attribute decision-making, and develop an
adaptive trust evaluation approach based on information
entropy theory. This adaptive approach can overcome the
limitations of traditional trust schemes, whereby the trusted
operators are weighted manually or subjectively. As a result,
using SOTS, the broker can efficiently and accurately
prepare the most trusted resources in advance, and thus
provide more dependable resources to users. Our
experiments yield interesting and meaningful observations
that can facilitate the effective utilization of SOTS in a largescale multi-cloud environment.
Although many pricing schemes in IaaS platform are
already proposed with pay-as-you-go and subscription/spot
market policy to guarantee service level agreement, it is still
inevitable to suffer from wasteful payment because of
coarsegrained pricing scheme. In this paper, we investigate
an optimized fine-grained and fair pricing scheme. Two
tough issues are addressed: (1) the profits of resource
providers and customers often contradict mutually; (2) VMmaintenance overhead like startup cost is often too huge to
be neglected. Not only can we derive an optimal price in the
acceptable price range that satisfies both customers and
providers simultaneously, but we also find a best-fit billing
cycle to maximize social welfare (i.e., the sum of the cost
reductions for all customers and the revenue gained by the
provider). We carefully evaluate the proposed optimized
fine-grained pricing scheme with two large-scale real-world
production traces (one from Grid Workload Archive and the
other from Google data center). We compare the new
scheme to classic coarse-grained hourly pricing scheme in
experiments and find that customers and providers can both
benefit from our new approach. The maximum social
welfare can be increased up to 72:98% and 48:15% with
respect to DAS-2 trace and Google trace respectively.

Commercial clouds bring a great opportunity to the

scientific computing area. Scientific applications usually
require significant resources, however not all scientists have
access to sufficien high end computing systems. Cloud
computing has gained the attention of scientists as a
competitive resource to run HPC applications at a
potentially lower cost. But as DIfferent infrastructure, it is
unclear whether clouds are capable of running scientific
applications with a reasonable performance per money
spent. This work provides a comprehensive evaluation of
EC2 cloud in different aspects. We first analyze the
potentials of the cloud by evaluating the raw performance of
different services of AWS such as compute, memory,
network and I /O. Based on the findings on the raw
performance, we then evaluate the performance of the
scientific applications running in the cloud. Finally, we
compare the performance of AWS with a private cloud, in
order to find the root cause of its limitations while running
scientific applications. This paper aims to assess the ability of
the cloud to perform well, as well as to evaluate the cost of
the cloud in terms of both raw performance and scientific
applications performance Furthermore, we evaluate other
services including S3, EBS and DynamoDB among many
AWS services in order to assess the abilities of those to be
used by scientific applications and frameworks. We also
evaluate a real scientific compng application through the
Swift parallel scripting System at scale.
Collections of real-world data usually have implicit or
explicit structural relations. For example, databases link
records through foreign keys, and XML documents express
associations between different values through syntax.
Privacy preservation, until now, has focused either on data
with a very simple structure, e.g. relational tables, or on data
with very complex structure e.g. social network graphs, but
has ignored intermediate cases, which are the most frequent
in practice. In this work, we focus on tree structured data.
Such data stem from various applications, even when the
structure is not directly reflected in the syntax, e.g. XML
documents. A characteristic case is a database where
information about a single person is scattered amongst
different tables that are associated through foreign keys. The
paper defines k(m;n)-anonymity, which provides protection
against identity disclosure and proposes a greedy
anonymization heuristic that is able to sanitize large
datasets. The algorithm and the quality of the anonymization
are evaluated experimentally.

However, most of the existing algorithms that detect

overlapping communities assume that the communities are
denser than their surrounding regions and falsely identify
overlaps as communities. Further, many of these algorithms
are computationally demanding and thus, do not scale
reasonably with varying network sizes. In this article, we
propose FOCS (Fast Overlapped Community Search), an
algorithm that accounts for local connectedness in order to
identify overlapped communities. FOCS is shown to be
linear in number of edges and nodes. It additionally gains in
speed via simultaneous selection of multiple near-best
communities rather than merely the best, at each iteration.
FOCS outperforms some popular overlapped community
finding algorithms in terms of
The current Web has no general mechanisms to make digital
artifacts such as datasets, code, texts, and images
verifiable and permanent. For digital artifacts that are
supposed to be immutable, there is moreover no commonly
accepted method to enforce this immutability. These
shortcomings have a serious negative impact on the ability to
reproduce the results of processes that rely onWeb
resources, which in turn heavily impacts areas such as
science where reproducibility is important. To solve this
problem, we propose trusty URIs containing cryptographic
hash values. We show how trusty URIs can be used for the
verification of digital artifacts, in a manner that is
independent of the serialization format in the case of
structured data files such as nano publications.
With the increasing volume of images users share through
social sites, maintaining privacy has become a major
problem, as demonstrated by a recent wave of publicized
incidents where users inadvertently shared personal
information. In light of these incidents, the need of tools to
help users control access to their shared content is apparent.
Toward addressing this need, we propose an Adaptive
Privacy Policy Prediction (A3P) system to help users
compose privacy settings for their images. We propose a
two-level framework which according to the users available
history on the site, determines the best available privacy
policy for the users images being uploaded. Our solution
relies on an image classification framework for image
categories which may be associated with similar policies, and
on a policy prediction algorithm to automatically generate a
policy for each newly uploaded image, also according to
users social features.

Advancement in information technology is playing an

increasing role in the use of information systems comprising
relational databases. These databases are used effectively in
collaborative environments for information extraction;
consequently, they are vulnerable to security threats
concerning ownership rights and data tampering.
Watermarking is advocated to enforce ownership rights over
shared relational data and for providing a means for
tackling data tampering. When ownership rights are
enforced using watermarking, the underlying data
undergoes certain modifications; as a result of which, the
data quality gets compromised. Reversible watermarking is
employed to ensure data quality along-with data recovery.
However, such techniques are usually not robust against
malicious attacks and do not provide any mechanism to
selectively watermark a particular attribute by taking into
account its role in knowledge discovery. Therefore,
reversible watermarking is required that ensures; (i)
watermark encoding and decoding by accounting for the role
of all the features in knowledge discovery; and, (ii) original
data recovery in the presence of active malicious attacks.
Traditional clustering and feature selection methods
consider the data matrix as static. However, the data
matrices evolve smoothly over time in many applications. A
simple approach to learn from these time-evolving data
matrices is to analyze them separately. Such strategy ignores
the time-dependent nature of the underlying data. In this
paper, we propose two formulations for evolutionary coclustering and feature selection based on the fused Lasso
regularization. The evolutionary co-clustering formulation is
able to identify smoothly varying hidden block structures
embedded into the matrices along the temporal dimension.
Our formulation is very flexible and allows for imposing
smoothness constraints over only one dimension of the data
matrices. The evolutionary feature selection formulation can
uncover shared features in clustering from time-evolving
data matrices. We show that the optimization problems
involved are non-convex, non-smooth and non-separable. To
compute the solutions efficiently, we develop a two-step
procedure that optimizes the objective function iteratively.
We evaluate the proposed formulations using the Allen
Developing Mouse Brain Atlas data. Results show that our
formulations consistently outperform prior methods.

Social identity linkage across different social media

platforms is of critical importance to business intelligence by
gaining from social data a deeper understanding and more
accurate profiling of users. In this paper, we propose a
solution framework, HYDRA, which consists of three key
steps: (I) we model heterogeneous behavior by long-term
topical distribution analysis and multi-resolution temporal
behavior matching against high noise and information
missing, and the behavior similarity are described by multidimensional similarity vector for each user pair; (II) we
build structure consistency models to maximize the structure
and behavior consistency on users core social structure
across different platforms, thus the task of identity linkage
can be performed on groups of users, which is beyond the
individual level linkage in previous study; and (III) we
propose a normalized-margin-based linkage function
formulation, and learn the linkage function by multiobjective optimization where both supervised pair-wise
linkage function learning and structure consistency
maximization are conducted towards a unified Pareto
optimal solution. The model is able to deal with drastic
information missing, and avoid the curse-of-dimensionality
in handling high dimensional sparse representation.
In real-world graphs such as social networks, Semantic Web
and biological networks, each vertex usually contains rich
information, which can be modeled by a set of tokens or
elements. In this paper, we study a subgraph matching with
set similarity (SMS2) query over a large graph database,
which retrieves subgraphs that are structurally isomorphic
to the query graph, and meanwhile satisfy the condition of
vertex pair matching with the (dynamic) weighted set
similarity. To efficiently process the SMS2 query, this paper
designs a novel lattice-based index for data graph, and
lightweight signatures for both query vertices and data
vertices. Based on the index and signatures, we propose an
efficient two-phase pruning strategy including set similarity
pruning and structure-based pruning, which exploits the
unique features of both (dynamic) weighted set similarity
and graph topology. We also propose an efficient
dominating-set-based subgraph matching algorithm guided
by a dominating set selection algorithm to achieve better
query performance. Extensive experiments on both real and
synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms
state-of-the-art methods by an order of magnitude.

ons

IEEE-2015

Recommendation systems are intended to increase developer

productivity by recommending files to edit. These systems
mine association rules in software revision histories.
However, mining coarse grained rules using only edit
histories produces recommendations with low accuracy, and
can only produce recommendations after a developer edits a
file. In this work, we explore the use of finer grained
association rules, based on the insight that view histories
help characterize the contexts of files to edit. To leverage this
additional context and fine grained association rules, we
have developed MI, a recommendation system extending
ROSE, an existing edit based recommendation system. We
then conducted a comparative simulation of ROSE and MI
using the interaction histories stored in the Eclipse Bugzilla
system. The simulation demonstrates that MI predicts the
files to edit with significantly higher recommendation
accuracy than ROSE (about 63% over 35%), and makes
recommendations earlier, often before developers begin
editing. Our results clearly demonstrate the value of
considering both views and edits in systems to recommend
files to edit, and results in more accurate, earlier, and more
flexible recommendations.

IEEE-2015

Software companies spend over 45 percent of cost in dealing

with software bugs. An inevitable step of fixing bugs is bug
triage, which aims to correctly assign a developer to a new
bug. To decrease the time cost in manual work, text
classification techniques are applied to conduct automatic
bug triage. In this paper, we address the problem of data
reduction for bug triage, i.e., how to reduce the scale and
improve the quality of bug data. We combine instance
selection with feature selection to simultaneously reduce data
scale on the bug dimension and the word dimension. To
determine the order of applying instance selection and
feature selection, we extract attributes from historical bug
data sets and build a predictive model for a new bug data set.
We empirically investigate the performance of data
reduction on totally 600,000 bug reports of two large open
source projects, namely Eclipse and Mozilla. The results
show that our data reduction can effectively reduce the data
scale and improve the accuracy of bug triage. Our work
provides an approach to leveraging techniques on data
processing to form reduced and high-quality bug data in
software development and maintenance.

Hashing is a popular and efficient method for nearest

neighbor search in large-scale data spaces, by embedding
high-dimensional feature descriptors into a similarity
preserving Hamming space with a low dimension. For most
hashing methods, the performance of retrieval heavily
depends on the choice of the high-dimensional feature
descriptor. Furthermore, a single type of feature cannot be
descriptive enough for different images when it is used for
hashing. Thus, how to combine multiple representations for
learning effective hashing functions is an imminent task. In
this paper, we present a novel unsupervised Multiview
Alignment Hashing (MAH) approach based on Regularized
Kernel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (RKNMF),
The emergence and rapid proliferation of various social
media networks have reshaped the way how video contents
are generated, distributed and consumed in traditional video
sharing portals. Nowadays, online videos can be accessed
from far beyond the internal mechanisms of the video
sharing portals, such as internal search and front page
highlight. Recent studies have found that external referrers,
such as external search engines and other social media
websites, arise to be the new and important portals to Lead
users to online videos. In this paper, we introduce a novel
cross-network collaborative application to help drive the
online traffic for given videos in traditional video portal
YouTube by leveraging the high propagation efficiency of
the popular Twitter followees.
In opportunistic networks, direct communication between
mobile devices is used to extend the set of services accessible
through cellular or WiFi networks. Mobility patterns and
their impact in such networks have been extensively studied.
In contrast, this has not been the case with communication
traffic patterns, where homogeneous traffic between all
nodes is usually assumed. This assumption is generally not
true, as node mobility and social characteristics can
significantly affect the end-to-end traffic demand between
them. To this end, in this paper we explore the joint effect of
traffic patterns and node mobility on the performance of
popular forwarding mechanisms, both analytically and
through simulations. Among the different insights stemming
from our analysis, we identify conditions under which
heterogeneity renders the added value of using extra relays
more/less useful. Furthermore, we confirm the intuition that
an increasing amount of heterogeneity closes the
performance gap between different forwarding policies,
making endto- end routing more challenging in some cases.

The emerging of mobile social networks opens opportunities

for viral marketing. However, before fully utilizing mobile
social networks as a platform for viral marketing, many
challenges have to be addressed. In this paper, we address
the problem of identifying a small number of individuals
through whom the information can be diffused to the
network as soon as possible, referred to as the diffusion
minimization problem. Diffusion minimization under the
probabilistic diffusion model can be formulated as an
asymmetric k- center problem which is NP-hard, and the
best known approximation algorithm for the asymmetric kcenter problem has approximation ratio of log_ n and time
complexity O(n5). Clearly, the performance and the time
complexity of the approximation algorithm are not

todays social online platforms in the form of keywords, user
comments, and so forth. This article presents a statistical
framework designed to infer knowledge in the imaging
domain from the semantic domain. Note that this is the
reverse direction of common computer vision applications.
The framework relates keywords to image characteristics
using a statistical significance test. It scales to millions of
images and hundreds of thousands of keywords. We
demonstrate the usefulness of the statistical framework with
three color imaging applications: 1) semantic image
enhancement: re-render an image in order to adapt it to its
semantic context; 2) color naming: find the color triplet for a
given color name; and 3) color palettes: find a palette of
colors that best represents a given arbitrary semantic
context and that satisfies established harmony constraints.
Data deduplication is a technique for eliminating duplicate
copies of data, and has been widely used in cloud storage to
reduce storage space and upload bandwidth. However, there
is only one copy for each file stored in cloud even if such a
file is owned by a huge number of users. As a result,
deduplication system improves storage utilization while
reducing reliability. Furthermore, the challenge of privacy
for sensitive data also arises when they are outsourced by
users to cloud. Aiming to address the above security
challenges, this paper makes the first attempt to formalize
the notion of distributed reliable deduplication system. We
propose new distributed deduplication systems with higher
reliability in which the data chunks are distributed across
multiple cloud servers.

This paper proposes a service operator-aware trust scheme

(SOTS) for resource matchmaking across multiple clouds.
Through analyzing the built-in relationship between the
users, the broker, and the service resources, this paper
proposes a middleware framework of trust management that
can effectively reduce user burden and improve system
dependability. Based on multi-dimensional resource service
operators, we model the problem of trust evaluation as a
process of multi-attribute decision-making, and develop an
adaptive trust evaluation approach based on information
entropy theory. This adaptive approach can overcome the
limitations of traditional trust schemes, whereby the trusted
operators are weighted manually or subjectively. As a result,
using SOTS, the broker can efficiently and accurately
prepare the most trusted resources in advance, and thus
provide more dependable resources to users. Our
experiments yield interesting and meaningful observations
that can facilitate the effective utilization of SOTS in a largescale multi-cloud environment.
Oriented by requirement of trust management in multiple
cloud environment, this paper presents T-broker, a
trustaware service brokering scheme for efficient matching
cloud services (or resources) to satisfy various user requests.
First, a trusted third party-based service brokering
architecture is proposed for multiple cloud environment, in
which the T-broker acts as a middleware for cloud trust
management and service matching. Then, T-broker uses a
hybrid and adaptive trust model to compute the overall trust
degree of service resources, in which trust is defined as a
fusion evaluation result from adaptively combining the
direct monitored evidence with the social feedback of the
service resources. More importantly, T-broker uses the
maximizing deviation method to compute the direct
experience based on multiple key trusted attributes of
service resources, which can overcome the limitations of
traditional trust schemes, in which the trusted attributes are
weighted manually or subjectively. Finally, T-broker uses a
lightweight feedback mechanism, which can effectively
reduce networking risk and improve system efficiency. The
experimental results show that, compared with the existing
approaches, our T-broker yields very good results in many
typical cases, and the proposed system is robust to deal with
various numbers of dynamic service behavior from multiple
cloud sites.

Much research has been conducted to securely outsource

multiple parties data aggregation to an untrusted
aggregator without disclosing each individuals privately
owned data, or to enable multiple parties to jointly aggregate
their data while preserving privacy. However, those works
either require secure pair-wise communication channels or
suffer from high complexity. In this paper, we consider how
an external aggregator or multiple parties can learn some
algebraic statistics (e.g., sum, product) over participants
privately owned data while preserving the data privacy. We
assume all channels are subject to eavesdropping attacks,
and all the communications throughout the aggregation are
open to others. We first propose several protocols that
successfully guarantee data privacy under semi-honest
model, and then present advanced protocols which tolerate
up to k passive adversaries who do not try to tamper the
computation. Under this weak assumption, we limit both the
communication and computation complexity of each
participant to a small constant. At the end, we present
applications which solve several interesting problems via our
protocols.
Cloud computing is a revolutionary computing paradigm,
which enables flexible, on-demand, and low-cost usage of
computing resources, but the data is outsourced to some
cloud servers, and various privacy concerns emerge from it.
Various schemes based on the attribute-based encryption
have been proposed to secure the cloud storage. However,
most work focuses on the data contents privacy and the
access control, while less attention is paid to the privilege
control and the identity privacy. In this paper, we present a
semi anonymous privilege control scheme Anony Control to
address not only the data privacy, but also the user identity
privacy in existing access control schemes. Anony Control
decentralizes the central authority to limit the identity
leakage and thus achieves semi anonymity. Besides, it also
generalizes the file access control to the privilege control, by
which privileges of all operations on the cloud data can be
managed in a fine-grained manner. Subsequently, we present
the Anony Control-F, which fully prevents the identity
leakage and achieve the full anonymity. Our security
analysis shows that both Anony Control and Anony ControlF are secure under the decisional bilinear DiffieHellman
assumption, and our performance evaluation exhibits the
feasibility of our schemes.

Intentional or unintentional leakage of confidential data is

undoubtedly one of the most severe security threats that
organizations face in the digital era. The threat now extends
to our personal lives: a plethora of personal information is
available to social networks and smartphone providers and
is indirectly transferred to untrustworthy third party and
fourth party applications. In this work, we present a generic
data lineage framework LIME for data flow across multiple
entities that take two characteristic, principal roles (i.e.,
owner and consumer). We define the exact security
guarantees required by such a data lineage mechanism
toward identification of a guilty entity, and identify the
simplifying non-repudiation and honesty assumptions. We
then develop and analyze a novel accountable data transfer
protocol between two entities within a malicious
environment by building upon oblivious transfer, robust
watermarking, and signature primitives. Finally, we perform
an experimental evaluation to demonstrate the practicality of
our protocol and apply our framework to the important data
leakage scenarios of data outsourcing and social networks. In
general, we consider LIME , our lineage framework for data
transfer, to be an key step towards achieving accountability
by design.
Cloud storage auditing is viewed as an important service to
verify the integrity of the data in public cloud. Current
auditing protocols are all based on the assumption that the
clients secret key for auditing is absolutely secure. However,
such assumption may not always be held, due to the possibly
weak sense of security and/or low security settings at the
client. If such a secret key for auditing is exposed, most of
the current auditing protocols would inevitably become
unable to work. In this paper, we focus on this new aspect of
cloud storage auditing. We investigate how to reduce the
damage of the clients key exposure in cloud storage
auditing, and give the first practical solution for this new
problem setting. We formalize the definition and the security
model of auditing protocol with key-exposure resilience and
propose such a protocol. In our design, we employ the binary
tree structure and the pre-order traversal technique to
update the secret keys for the client. We also develop a novel
authenticator construction to support the forward security
and the property of blockless verifiability. The security proof
and the performance analysis show that our proposed
protocol is secure and efficient.

Group behavior interactions, such as multirobot teamwork

and group communications in social networks, are widely
seen in both natural, social, and artificial behavior related
applications. Behavior interactions in a group are often
associated with varying coupling relationships, for instance,
conjunction or disjunction. Such coupling relationships
challenge existing behavior representation methods, because
they involve multiple behaviors from different actors,
constraints on the interactions, and behavior evolution. In
addition, the quality of behavior interactions are not checked
through verification techniques. In this paper, we propose an
ontology-based behavior modeling and checking system
(OntoB for short) to explicitly represent and verify complex
behavior relationships, aggregations, and constraints. The
OntoB system provides both a visual behavior model and an
abstract behavior tuple to capture behavioral elements, as
well as building blocks. It formalizes various intra-coupled
interactions (behaviors conducted by the same actor) via
transition systems (TSs), and inter-coupled behavior
aggregations (behaviors conducted by different actors) from
temporal, inferential, and party-based perspectives.
IEEE-2015 In this paper, we study a group key agreement problem
where a user is only aware of his neighbors while the
connectivity graph is arbitrary. In our problem, there is no
centralized initialization for users. A group key agreement
with these features is very suitable for social networks.
Under our setting, we construct two efficient protocols with
passive security. We obtain lower bounds on the round
complexity for this type of protocol, which demonstrates that
our constructions are round efficient. Finally, we construct
an actively secure protocol from a passively secure one.
IEEE-2015 To protect outsourced data in cloud storage against
corruptions, adding fault tolerance to cloud storage together
with data integrity checking and failure reparation becomes
critical. Recently, regenerating codes have gained popularity
due to their lower repair bandwidth while providing fault
tolerance. Existing remote checking methods for
regenerating-coded data only provide private auditing,
requiring data owners to always stay online and handle
auditing, as well as repairing, which is sometimes impractical.
In this paper, we propose a public auditing scheme for the
regenerating-code-based cloud storage. To solve the
regeneration problem of failed authenticators in the absence
of data owners, we introduce a proxy, which is privileged to
regenerate the authenticators, into the traditional public
auditing system model.

IEEE-2015

Recommendation systems are intended to increase developer

productivity by recommending files to edit. These systems
mine association rules in software revision histories.
However, mining coarse-grained rules using only edit
histories produces recommendations with low accuracy, and
can only produce recommendations after a developer edits a
file. In this work, we explore the use of fine-grained
association rules, based on the insight that view histories
help characterize the contexts of files to edit. To leverage this
additional context and fine-grained association rules, we
have developed MI, a recommendation system extending
ROSE, an existing edit based recommendation system. We
then conducted a comparative simulation of ROSE and MI
using the interaction histories stored in the Eclipse Bugzilla
system. The simulation demonstrates that MI predicts the
files to edit with significantly higher recommendation
accuracy than ROSE (about 63% over 35%), and makes
recommendations earlier, often before developers begin
editing. Our results clearly demonstrate the value of
considering both views and edits in systems to recommend
files to edit, and results in more accurate, earlier, and more
flexible recommendations.

This paper introduces a distributed fault-tolerant topology

control algorithm, called the Disjoint Path Vector (DPV), for
heterogeneous wireless sensor networks composed of a large
number of sensor nodes with limited energy and computing
capability and several supernodes with unlimited energy
resources. The DPV algorithm addresses the k-degree
Anycast Topology Control problem where the main objective
is to assign each sensors transmission range such that each
has at least k-vertex-disjoint paths to supernodes and the
total power consumption is minimum. The resulting
topologies are tolerant to k _ 1 node failures in the worst
case. We prove the correctness of our approach by showing
that topologies generated by DPV are guaranteed to satisfy
k-vertex supernode connectivity. Our simulations show that
the DPV algorithm achieves up to 4-fold reduction in total
transmission power required in the network and 2-fold
reduction in maximum transmission power required in a
node compared to existing solutions.

We propose a greedy algorithm, Cluster-MAX-COVERAGE

(CMC), to efficiently diagnose large-scale clustered failures.
We primarily address the challenge of determining faults
with incomplete symptoms. CMC makes novel use of both
positive and negative symptoms to output a hypothesis list
with a low number of false negatives and false positives
quickly. CMC requires reports from about half as many
nodes as other existing algorithms to determine failures with
100 percent accuracy. Moreover, CMC accomplishes this
gain significantly faster (sometimes by two orders of
magnitude) than an algorithm that matches its accuracy.
When there are fewer positive and negative symptoms at a
reporting node, CMC performs much better than existing
algorithms. We also propose an adaptive algorithm called
Adaptive-MAX-COVERAGE
(AMC)
that
performs
efficiently during both independent and clustered failures.
During a series of failures that include both independent and
clustered, AMC results in a reduced number of false
negatives and false positives.
Network coding (NC) and multipacket reception with
successive interference cancelation (SIC) have been shown to
improve the performance of multihop wireless networks
(MWNs). However, previous work emphasized maximization
of network throughput without considering quality of service
(QoS) requirements, which may lead to high packet delays in
the network. The objective of this work is minimization of
packet delay in a TDMA-based MWN that is jointly utilizing
NC and SIC techniques for a given traffic demand matrix.
We assume conflictfree scheduling and allow multipath
routing. We formulate a cross-layer optimization that
assigns time slots to links in a way that the average packet
delay is minimized. The problem formulation results in a
difficult mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)
that the state-of-art software can only solve for very smallsized networks. For large networks, we develop a heuristic
approach that iteratively determines the optimal solution.
We present numerical results, which show that the average
packet delay and traffic handling capacity of a network,
using w/o NC+SIC, NC, SIC and NC+SIC schemes, improves
from left to right. The traffic capacity of NC+SIC is double
of the w/o NC+SIC. Thus, combined utilization of NC and
SIC techniques results in significant performance
improvement.

Although software-defined networking (SDN) brings

numerous benefits by decoupling the control plane from the
data plane, there is a contradictory relationship between
SDN and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. On
one hand, the capabilities of SDN make it easy to detect and
to react to DDoS attacks. On the other hand, the separation
of the control plane from the data plane of SDN introduces
new attacks. Consequently, SDN itself may be a target of
DDoS attacks. In this paper, we first discuss the new trends
and characteristics of DDoS attacks in cloud computing
environments. We show that SDN brings us a new chance to
defeat DDoS attacks in cloud computing environments, and
we summarize good features of SDN in defeating DDoS
attacks. Then we review the studies about launching DDoS
attacks on SDN and the methods against DDoS attacks in
SDN.In addition, we discuss a number of challenges that
need to be addressed to mitigate DDoS attached in SDN with
cloud computing. This work can help understand how to
make full use of SDNs advantages to defeat DDoS attacks in
cloud computing environments and how to prevent SDN
itself from becoming a victim of DDoSattacks.
This paper presents and experimentally demonstrates the
generalized architecture of Open flow-controlled optical
packet switching (OPS) network. Open flow control is
enabled by introducing The Openflow/OPS agent into the
OPS network, which realizes the Openflow protocol
translation and message exchange between the Openflow
control plane and the underlying OPS nodes. With softwaredefined networking (SDN) and Openflow technique, the
complex control functions of the conventional OPS network
can offloaded into a centralized and flexible control plane,
while promoted control and operations can be provided due
to centralized coordination of network resources.
Furthermore, a contentionaware routing/rerouting strategy
as well as a fast network adjustment mechanism is proposed
and demonstrated for the first time as advanced Openflow
control to route traffic and handle the network dynamics.
With centralized SDN/Openflow control, the OPS network
has the potential to have better resource utilization and
enhanced network resilience at lower cost and less node
complexity. Our work will accelerate the development of
both OPS and SDN evolution.

In this paper, we propose a localization scheme named

Opportunistic Localization by Topology Control (OLTC),
specifically for sparse Underwater Sensor Networks
(UWSNs). In a UWSN, an unlocalized sensor node finds its
location by utilizing the spatio-temporal relation with the
reference nodes. Generally, UWSNs are sparsely deployed
because of the high implementation cost, and unfortunately,
the network topology experiences partitioning due to the
effect of passive node mobility. Consequently, most of the
underwater sensor nodes lack the required number of
reference nodes for localization in underwater environments.
The existing literature is deficient in addressing the problem
of node localization in the above mentioned scenario.
Antagonistically, however, we promote that even in such
sparse UWSN context, it is possible to localize the nodes by
exploiting their available opportunities.
Due to the broadcast nature of radio propagation, wireless
transmission can be readily overheard by unauthorized users
for interception purposes and is thus highly vulnerable to
eavesdropping attacks. To this end, physical-layer security is
emerging as a promising paradigm to protect the wireless
communications against eavesdropping attacks by exploiting
the physical characteristics of wireless channels. This article
is focused on the investigation of diversity techniques to
improve physical-layer security differently from the
conventional artificial noise generation and beamforming
techniques, which typically consume additional power for
generating artificial noise and exhibit high implementation
complexity for beamformer design. We present several
diversity approaches to improve wireless physical-layer
security, including multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO),
multiuser diversity, and cooperative diversity. To illustrate
the security improvement through diversity, we propose a
case study
As the foundation of routing, topology control should
minimize the interference among nodes, and increase the
network capacity. With the development of mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs), there is a growing requirement of
quality of service (QoS) in terms of delay. In order to meet
the delay requirement, it is important to consider topology
control in delay constrained environment, which is
contradictory to the objective of minimizing interference. In
this paper, we focus on the delay-constrained topology
control problem, and take into account delay and
interference jointly.

In this paper, we consider lossy mobile ad hoc networks

where the data rate of a given flow becomes lower and lower
along its routing path. One of the main challenges in lossy
mobile ad hoc networks is how to achieve the conflicting goal
of increased network utility and reduced power
consumption, while without following the instantaneous state
of a fading channel. To address this problem, we propose a
cross-layer rate-effective network utility maximization
(RENUM) framework by taking into account the lossy
nature of wireless links and the constraints of rate outage
probability and average delay. In the proposed framework,
the utility is associated with the effective rate received at the
destination node of each flow instead of the injection rate at
the source of the flow. We then present a distributed joint
transmission rate, link power and average delay control
algorithm, in which explicit broadcast message passing is
required for power allocation algorithm.
In this paper, a joint optimization of link scheduling, routing
and replication for delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) has been
studied. The optimization problems for resource allocation
in DTNs are typically solved using dynamic programming
which requires knowledge of future events such as meeting
schedules and durations. This paper defines a new notion of
approximation to the optimality for DTNs, called snapshot
approximation where nodes are not clairvoyant, i.e., not
looking ahead into future events, and thus decisions are
made using only contemporarily available knowledges.
Unfortunately, the snapshot approximation still requires
solving an NP-hard problem of maximum weighted
independent set (MWIS) and a global knowledge of who
currently owns a copy and what their delivery probabilities
are. This paper proposes an algorithm, Max-Contribution
(MC) that approximates MWIS problem with a greedy
method and its distributed online approximation algorithm,
Distributed Max-Contribution (DMC).

Peer to peer (P2P) e-commerce applications exist at the edge

of the Internet with vulnerabilities to passive and active
attacks. These attacks have pushed away potential business
firms and individuals whose aim is to get the best benefit in
e-commerce with minimal losses. The attacks occur during
interactions between the trading peers as a transaction takes
place. In this paper, we propose how to address Sybil attack,
an active attack, in which peers can have bogus and multiple
identities to fake their owns. Most existing work, which
concentrates on social networks and trusted certification, has
not been able to prevent Sybil attack peers from doing
transactions. Our work exploits the neighbor similarity trust
relationship to address Sybil attack. In our approach,
duplicated Sybil attack peers can be identified as the
neighbor peers become acquainted and hence more trusted
to each other. Security and performance analysis shows that
Sybil attack can be minimized by our proposed neighbor
similarity trust.
The LTE standards account for the use of relays to enhance
coverage near the cell edge. In a traditional topology, a
mobile can either establish a direct link to the base station
(BS) or a link to the relay, but not both. In this paper, we
consider the benefit of multipoint connectivity in allowing
user equipment (UEs) to split their transmit power over
simultaneous links to the BS and the relay, in effect
transmitting two parallel flows. We model decisions by the
UEs as to: (i) which point of access to attach to (either a relay
or a relay and the BS or only the BS); and (ii) how to allocate
transmit power over these links so as to maximize their total
rate. We show that this flexibility in the selection of points of
access leads to substantial network capacity increase against
when nodes operate in a fixed network topology. Individual
adaptations by UEs, in terms of both point of access and
transmit power, are interdependent due to interference and
to the possibility of over-loading of the backhaul links.

Statistics from security firms, research institutions and

government organizations show that the number of data-leak
instances have grown rapidly in recent years. Among various
data-leak cases, human mistakes are one of the main causes
of data loss. There exist solutions detecting inadvertent
sensitive data leaks caused by human mistakes and to
provide alerts for organizations. A common approach is to
screen content in storage and transmission for exposed
sensitive information. Such an approach usually requires the
detection operation to be conducted in secrecy. However, this
secrecy requirement is challenging to satisfy in practice, as
detection servers may be compromised or outsourced. In this
paper, we present a privacypreserving data-leak detection
(DLD) solution to solve the issue where a special set of
sensitive data digests is used in detection. The advantage of
our method is that it enables the data owner to safely
delegate the detection operation to a semihonest provider
without revealing the sensitive data to the provider. We
describe how Internet service providers can offer their
customers DLD as an add-on service with strong privacy
guarantees. The evaluation results show that our method can
support accurate detection with very small number of false
alarms under various data-leak scenarios.

conduct the asymptotic analysis to examine how the ESR

Next generation wireless networks (i.e., WiMAX, LTE)

provide higher bandwidth and spectrum efficiency
leveraging smaller (femto) cells with orthogonal frequency
division multiple access (OFDMA). The uncoordinated,
dense deployments of femtocells however, pose several
unique challenges relating to interference and resource
management in OFDMA femtocell networks. Towards
addressing these challenges, we propose RADION, a
distributed resource management framework that effectively
manages interference across femtocells. RADIONs core
building blocks enable femtocells to opportunistically
determine the available resources in a completely distributed
and efficient manner. Further, RADIONs modular nature
paves the way for different resource management solutions
to be incorporated in the framework. We implement
RADION on a real WiMAX femtocell testbed deployed in a
typical indoor setting. Two distributed solutions are enabled
through RADION and their performance is studied to
highlight their quick self-organization into efficient resource
allocations.
Cloud based machine-to-machine (M2M) communications
have emerged to achieve ubiquitous and autonomous data
transportation for future daily life in the cyber-physical
world. In light of the need of network characterizations, we
analyze the connected M2M network in the machine swarm
of geometric random graph topology, including degree
distribution, network diameter, and average distance (i.e.,
hops). Without the need of end-to-end information to escape
catastrophic complexity, information dissemination appears
an effective way in machine swarm. To fully understand
practical data transportation, G/G/1 queuing network model
is exploited to obtain average end-to-end delay and
maximum achievable system throughput. Furthermore, as
real applications may require dependable networking
performance across the swarm, quality of service (QoS)
along with large network diameter creates a new intellectual
challenge.

The dominate spectrum sharing paradigm of today is

interference avoidance, where a secondary network can use
the spectrum only when such a use is not interfering with the
primary network. However, with the advances of physicallayer technologies, the mindset of this paradigm is being
challenged. This paper explores a new paradigm called
transparent coexistence for spectrum sharing between
primary and secondary nodes in a multihop network
environment. Under this paradigm, the secondary network is
allowed to use the same spectrum simultaneously with the
primary network as long as their activities are transparent
(or invisible) to the primary network. Such transparency
is accomplished through a systematic interference
cancelation (IC) by the secondary nodes without any impact
on the primary network. Although such a paradigm has been
studied in the information theory (IT) and communications
(COMM) communities, it is not well understood in the
wireless networking community, particularly for multihop
networks.

Increasing attention is being paid to energy efficiency in

utilization of regenerative energy are two effective methods
to reduce the energy consumption for electric subway
systems. Based on a common scenario that an accelerating
train can reuse the regenerative energy from a braking train
on the opposite track, this paper proposes a cooperative train
control model to minimize the practical energy consumption,
i.e., the difference between traction energy and the reused
regenerative energy. First, we design a numerical algorithm to
calculate the optimal driving strategy with the given trip time,
in which the variable traction force, braking force, speed
limits, and gradients are considered.

over plant canopies provide a proxy for plant photosynthetic
capacity and are of high interest for plant research. Together
with spectral reflectance, SIF has the potential to act as a noninvasive approach to quantify photosynthetic plant traits from
field to air- and spaceborne scales. But SIF is a small signal
contribution to the reflected sunlight and often not
distinguishable from sensor noise. SIF estimation is, therefore,
affected by an unquantified uncertainty, making it difficult to
estimate accurately how much SIF is truly emitted from the
plant. To investigate and overcome this, we designed a device
based on a spectrometer covering the visible range and
equipped it with an LED emitting at the wavelength of SIF.
Using this as a reference and applying thorough calibrations,
we present consistent evidence of the instruments capability
of SIF retrieval and accuracy estimations. The LEDs intensity
was measured under sunlight with 1.27 0.27 mWsr-1m2nm-1 stable over the day. The large increase of SIF due to the

This paper provides a three-layered framework to monitor the
positioning performance requirements of real-time relative
positioning (RRP) systems of the Cooperative Intelligent
Transport Systems that support cooperative collision warning
(CCW) applications. These applications exploit state data of
surrounding vehicles obtained solely from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and dedicated short-range
communications (DSRC) units without using other sensors. To
this end, this paper argues the need for the GPS/DSRC-based
RRP systems to have an autonomous monitoring mechanism,
since the operation of CCW applications is meant to augment
safety on roads. The advantages of autonomous integrity
monitoring are essential and integral to any safety-of-life
system. The autonomous integrity monitoring framework
proposed necessitates the RRP systems to detect/predict the
unavailability of their subsystems and of the integrity
monitoring module itself and, if available, to account for
effects of data link delays and breakages of DSRC links, as well
as of faulty measurement sources of GPS and/or integrated
augmentation positioning systems, before the information
used for safety warnings/alarms becomes unavailable,
unreliable, inaccurate, or misleading.
Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are considered a
promising renewable power source for remote monitoring
Applications. However, existing SMFCs can only produce
several mill watts of power, and the output power is not
scaled linearly with the size of SMFCs. An effective alternative
method to increase the output power is to independently
operate multiple SMFCs, each of which has an optimal size for
maximum power density. Independently operated SMFCs
have electrically isolated electrodes (anodes/cathodes), which
complicates the design of a suitable power management
system (PMS). This paper describes the challenges in designing
a PMS that can harvest energy from multiple independently
operated (mio) SMFCs and accordingly proposes a design
solution. From experimental results, the proposed PMS
demonstrates reliable output power scaling up of mio-SMFC.
The proposed PMS is self-sustainable because it is powered
entirely from harvested energy without requiring additional
external power sources.

This paper presents an integrated solution for a photovoltaic

(PV)-fed water-pump drive system, which uses an openend
winding induction motor (OEWIM). The dual-inverter-fed
OEWIM drive achieves the functionality of a three-level
inverter and requires low value dc-bus voltage. This helps in
an optimal arrangement of PV modules, which could avoid
large strings and Helps in improving the PV performance with
wide bandwidth of operating voltage. It also reduces the
voltage rating of the dc-link capacitors and switching devices
used in the system. The proposed control strategy achieves an
integration of both maximum power point tracking and V/f
control for the efficient utilization of the PV panels and the
motor. The proposed control scheme requires the sensing of
PV voltage and current only. Thus, the system requires less
number of sensors. All the analytical, simulation, and
experimental results of this work under different
environmental conditions are presented in this paper.
Measurement of chlorophyll concentration is gaining moreand-more importance in evaluating the status of the marine
ecosystem. For wide areas monitoring a reliable architecture
of wireless sensors network is required. In this paper, we
present a network of smart sensors, based on ISO/IEC/IEEE
21451 suite of standards, for in situ and in continuous space
time monitoring of surface water bodies, in particular for
seawater. The system is meant to be an important tool for
evaluating water quality and a valid support to strategic
decisions concerning critical environment issues. The aim of
the proposed system is to capture possible extreme events
and collect long-term periods of data.
This paper describes an algorithm that enables a railway
vehicle to determine its position in a track network. The
system is based solely on onboard sensors such as a velocity
sensor and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensor
and does not require trackside infrastructure such as axle
counters or balises. The paper derives a probabilistic modeling
of the localization task and develops a sensor fusion approach
to fuse the inputs of the GNSS sensor and the velocity sensor
with the digital track map. We describe how we can treat
ambiguities and stochastic uncertainty adequately. Moreover,
we introduce the concept of virtual balises that can be used to
replace balises on the track and evaluate the approach
experimentally. This paper focuses on an accurate modeling of
sensor and estimation uncertainties, which is relevant for
safety critical applications.

Balanced converter is an effective way to reduce the CM

noise. However, the parasitic capacitance between the switch
and heat sink leads to resonant problems, resulting in high
noise in certain frequency range. This paper proposes a novel
coupled inductor structure based on the balanced technique
for the Boost converter to further reduce the CM noise at
certain frequency range. A shunt resonant path is adopted to
offer a maximum suppression. The analytical estimation for
shunt windings performance is provided for better design.
Some simulation and experimental results of this new
technique are presented to validate its effectiveness. The
experiments about the capacitance unbalance, different load
current, and reduction of the CM inductor size are also
discussed for better understanding of this technique.
Lossy transmission is a common problem suffered from
monitoring systems based on wireless sensors. Though
extensive works have been done to enhance the reliability of
data communication in computer networks, few of the
existing methods are well tailored for the wireless sensors for
structural health monitoring (SHM). These methods are
generally unsuitable for resource-limited wireless sensor
nodes and intensive data SHM applications. In this paper, a
new data coding and transmission method is proposed that is
specifically targeted at the wireless SHM systems deployed on
large civil infrastructures. The proposed method includes two
coding stages: 1) a source coding stage to compress the
natural redundant information inherent in SHM signals and 2)
a redundant coding stage to inject artificial redundancy into
wireless transmission to enhance the transmission reliability.
Methods with light memory and computational overheads are
adopted in the coding process to meet the resource
constraints of wireless sensor nodes. In particular, the lossless
entropy compression method is implemented for
datacompression, and a simple random matrix projection is
proposed for redundant transformation. After coding, a
wireless sensor node transmits the same payload of coded
data instead of the original sensor data to the base station.
Some data loss may occur during the transmission of the
coded data. However, the complete original data can be
reconstructed losslessly on the base station from the
incomplete coded data given that the data loss ratio is
reasonably low. The proposed method is implemented into
the Imote2 smart sensor platform and tested in a series of
communication experiments on a cable-stayed bridge.

We present an example of unobtrusive, continuous

monitoring in the home for the purpose of assessing early
health changes. Sensors embedded in the environment
capture behavior and activity patterns. Changes in patterns
are detected as potential signs of changing health. We _rst
present results of a preliminary study investigating 22 features
extracted from in-home sensor data. A 1-D alert algorithm was
then implemented to generate health alerts to clinicians in a
senior housing facility. Clinicians analyze each alert and
provide a rating on the clinical relevance. These ratings are
then used as ground truth for training and testing classi_ers.
Here, we present the methodology for four classi_cation
approaches that fuse multisensory data. Results are shown
using embedded sensor data and health alert ratings collected
on 21 seniors over nine months. The best results show similar
performance for two techniques, where one approach uses
only domain knowledge and the second uses supervised
learning for training. Finally, we propose a health change
detection model based on these results and clinical expertise.
The system of in-home sensors and algorithms for automated
health alerts provides a method for detecting health problems
very early so that early treatment is possible. This method of
passive in-home sensing alleviates compliance issues.
A compact wearable Personal Distributed Exposimeter is
proposed, sensing the power density of incident radiofrequency (RF) fields on the body of a human. In contrast to
current commercial exposimeters, our Personal Distributed
Exposimeter, being composed of multiple compact personal
wearable RF exposimeter sensor modules, minimizes
uncertainties caused by the proximity of the body, the specific
antenna used and the exact position of the exposimeter. For
unobtrusive deployment inside a jacket, each individual
exposimeter sensor module is specifically implemented on the
feedplane of a textile patch antenna. The new wearable
sensor modules high-resolution logarithmic detector logs RF
signal levels. Next, on-board flash memory records minimum,
maximum and average exposure data over a time span of
more than two weeks, at a one-second sample period.
Sample-level synchronization of each individual exposimeter
sensor module enables combining of measurements collected
by different nodes. The system is first calibrated in an
anechoic chamber, and then compared to a commercially
available single-unit exposimeter.

Automotive electronics is a rapidly expanding area With an

increasing number of safety, driver assistance, and
infotainment devices becoming standard in new vehicles.
Current vehicles generally employ a number of different
networking protocols to integrate these systems into the
vehicle. The introduction of large numbers of sensors to
provide driver assistance applications and the associated highbandwidth requirements of these sensors have accelerated
the demand for faster and more flexible network
communication technologies within the vehicle. This paper
Presents a comprehensive overview of current research on
advanced intra-vehicle networks and identifies outstanding
research questions for the future.
An approach is presented for influencing teams of robots by
means of time-varying density functions, representing rough
references for where the robots should be located. A
continuous-time coverage algorithm is proposed and
distributed approximations are given whereby the robots
only need to access information from adjacent robots. Robotic
experiments show that the proposed algorithms work in
practice, as well as in theory.
In this paper, we propose an alternative motion planning
method for a wearable robot with a variable stride length and
walking speed. Trajectories are planned in a joint space rather
than a workspace to avoid an ill-posed problem with no
solution in inverse kinematics, and to consider the joints
range of motion, maximum velocity, foot clearance, and
backward balance. The joint trajectories are represented by
minimum jerk trajectories. Two via-points are assigned, and
the parameters (angle and angular velocity) at the via-points
are determined by applying an inverted pendulum model or
optimization to satisfy the constraints. The fastest gait pattern
generated by the proposed algorithm was twice as fast as the
pattern generated by the workspace-based planning method.
We confirmed that the fastest walking pattern of 0.36 m/s
was feasible on a tread mill, and a walking pattern of 0.27 m/s
was found for walking across the floor with a walker.
Furthermore, the proposed method required approximately
65% of the electric power for the workspace-based method for
the same walking speed and stride length. These results
suggest that the proposed motion planning method is
effective at generating a high-speed and efficient gait pattern
for a wearable robot.

This paper presents an approach for designing path following

controllers for the kinematic model of car-like mobile robots
using transverse feedback linearization with dynamic
extension.This approach is applicable to a large class of paths
and its effectiveness is experimentally demonstrated on a
Chameleon R100 Ackermann steering robot. Transverse
feedback linearization makes the desired path attractive and
invariant, while the dynamic extension allows the closed-loop
system to achieve the desired motion along the path.
Wearable sensor technology continues to advance and
provide significant opportunities for improving personalized
Health care. In recent years, advances in flexible electronics,
Smart materials and low-power computing and networking
have reduced barriers to technology accessibility, integration,
and cost, unleashing the potential for ubiquitous monitoring.
This paper discusses recent advances in wearable sensors and
systems that monitor movement, physiology, and

Millimeter-wave (MMW) radar, which is used for road feature
recognition, has performance that is superior to optical
cameras in terms of robustness in different weather and
lighting conditions, as well as providing ranging capabilities.
However, the signatures of road features in MMW radar
images are different from that of optical images, and even
physically continuous features, such as road edges, will be
presented as a set of bright points or spots distributed along
the roadside. Therefore, discrimination of the radar features is
of paramount importance in automotive imaging systems. To
tackle this problem, an approach called the stripe Hough
transform (HT) is introduced in this paper, allowing enhanced
extraction of the geometry of the road path. The performance
of the approach is demonstrated by comparison of extracted
features from MMW images with the real geometry of the
road and with the results of processing by classical HT.

Smart lighting systems go far beyond merely replacing lamps.
These modern systems are now able to reproduce arbitrary
spectra, color temperatures, and intensities and pivot on
smart sensors and actuators incorporating information and
communication technologies. This paper presents an
interoperable smart lighting solution that combines
heterogeneous lighting technologies enabling intelligent
functions. The system can shift light intensity to increase
visual comfort, and it is oriented toward human centric
lighting studies. Moreover, this system follows the guidelines
defined by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 21451 standards and ZigBee Light
Link and also, it includes an additional transducer signal
treatment service for artificial intelligence algorithms. Finally,
a representational state transfer application allows us to test
the interoperability and visualize energy savings in an office
room.
An increase in world population along with a significant aging
portion is forcing rapid rises in healthcare costs. The
healthcare system is going through a transformation in which
continuous monitoring of inhabitants is possible even without
hospitalization. The advancement of sensing technologies,
embedded systems, wireless communication technologies,
nano technologies, and miniaturization makes it possible to
develop smart systems to monitor activities of human beings
continuously. Wearable sensors detect abnormal and/or
unforeseen situations by monitoring physiological parameters
along with other symptoms. Therefore, necessary help can be
provided in times of dire need. This paper reviews the latest
reported systems on activity monitoring of humans based on
wearable sensors and issues to be addressed to tackle the
challenges.
This paper presents a novel approach to providing a service for
electric-vehicle (EV) battery charge replenishment. This is an

analytical approach is used to determine the appropriate

range of design parameters for such a mobile charging system.
An analytical analysis is first developed for an idealized system
with a nearest-job-next (NJN) service strategy explored for
such a system. In a NJN service strategy, the MC services the
next spatially closest EV when it is finished with its current
request. An urban environment approximated by Singapore is
then analyzed through simulation. Charging requests are
simulated through a trip generation model based on
Singapore. In such a realistic environment, an updated
practical NJN service strategy is proposed. For an MP system
in an urban environment such as Singapore, there exists an
optimal battery capacity with a threshold battery charge rate.
Similarly, the battery swap capacity of an MS system does not
need to be large for the system to perform.
The aim of this paper is to compare different partial discharge
(PD) charge estimation methods for PD cable measurements.
The paper covers the mathematical foundation behind the
different presented methods, and explores the limits of each
method regarding the associated maximum charge estimation
errors in PD cable measurements. The results are focused on
long cables where large PD pulse distortions are present and
therefore, the measured pulses differ significantly from the
calibrator ones. Each proposed method is analyzed, and
finally, limitations of each method are discussed.
Traffic surveillance has become an important topic in
intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), which is aimed at
monitoring and managing traffic flow. With the progress in
computer vision, video-based surveillance systems have made
great advances on traffic surveillance in ITSs. However, the
performance of most existing surveillance systems is
susceptible to challenging complex traffic scenes (e.g., object
occlusion, pose variation, and cluttered background).
Moreover, existing related research is mainly on a single video
sensor node, which is incapable of addressing the surveillance
of traffic road networks. Accordingly, we present a review of
the literature on the video-based vehicle surveillance systems
in ITSs.We analyze the existing challenges in video-based
surveillance systems for the vehicle and present a general
architecture for video surveillance systems, i.e., the
hierarchical and networked vehicle surveillance, to survey the
different existing and potential techniques.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a Bayesian fusion technique for
remotely sensed multi-band images is presented. The
observed images are related to the high spectral and
high spatial resolution image to be recovered through
physical degradations, e.g., spatial and spectral blurring
and/or subsampling defined
by the sensor
characteristics. The fusion problem is formulated within
a Bayesian estimation framework. An appropriate prior
distribution exploiting geometrical consideration is
introduced. To compute the Bayesian estimator of the
scene of interest from its posterior distribution, a
Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is designed to
generate samples asymptotically distributed according to
the target distribution. To efficiently sample from this
high-dimension distribution, a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
step is introduced in the Gibbs sampling strategy. The
efficiency of the proposed fusion method is evaluated
with respect to several state-of-the-art fusion
techniques.
In this paper, we extend our recent registration method
designed specifically for registering blurred images. The
original method works for unknown blurs, assuming the
blurring point-spread function (PSF) exhibits an N-fold
rotational symmetry. Here, we also generalize the theory
to the case of dihedrally symmetric blurs, which are
produced by the PSFs having both rotational and axial
symmetries .Such kind of blurs are often found in
unfocused images acquired by digital cameras, as in out
of focus shots the PSF typically mimics the shape of the
shutter aperture. This makes our registration algorithm
particularly well-suited in applications where blurred
image registration must be used as a preprocess step of
an image fusion algorithm, and where common
registration methods fail, due to the amount of blur. We
demonstrate that the proposed method leads to an
improvement of the registration performance, and we
show it to real images by providing successful examples
of blurred image registration followed by depth-of-field
extension and multichannel blind deconvolution.

We propose an unbiased estimate of a filtered version of

the mean squared errorthe blur-SURE (Steins
unbiased risk estimate)as a novel criterion for
estimating an unknown point spread function (PSF) from
the degraded image only. The PSF is obtained by
minimizing this new objective functional over a family of
Wiener processing. Based on this estimated blur kernel,
we then perform nonblind deconvolution using our
recently developed algorithm. The SURE-based
framework is exemplified with a number of parametric
PSF, involving a scaling factor that controls the blur size.
A typical example of such parametrization is the
Gaussian kernel. The experimental results demonstrate
that minimizing the blur-SURE yields highly accurate
estimates of the PSF parameters, which also result in a
restoration quality that is very similar to the one
obtained with the exact PSF, when plugged into our
recent multi-Wiener SURE-LET deconvolution algorithm.
The highly competitive results obtained outline the great
potential of developing more powerful blind
deconvolution algorithms based on SURE-like estimates.
Histogram equalization (HE), a simple contrast
enhancement (CE) method, tends to show excessive
enhancement and gives unnatural artifacts on images
with high peaks in their histograms. Histogram-based CE
methods have been proposed in order to overcome the
drawback of HE, however, they do not always give good
enhancement results. In this letter, a histogram-based
locality-preserving CE method is proposed. The proposed
method is formulated as an optimization problem to
preserve localities of the histogram for performing image
CE. The locality-preserving property makes the histogram
shape of the enhanced image to be similar to that of the
original image. Experimental results show that the
proposed histogram-based method gives output images
with graceful CE on which existing methods give
unnatural results.
This paper presents a fast and robust level set method
for image segmentation. To enhance the robustness
against noise, we embed a Markov random field (MRF)
energy function to the conventional level set energy
function. This MRF energy function builds the correlation
of a pixel with its neighbors and encourages them to fall
into the same region. To obtain a fast implementation of

the MRF embedded level set model, we explore algebraic

multigrid (AMG) and sparse field method (SFM) to
increase the time step and decrease the computation
domain ,respectively. Both AMG and SFM can be
conducted in a parallel fashion, which facilitates the
processing of our method for big image databases. By
comparing the proposed fast and robust level set
method with the standard level set method and its
popular variants on noisy synthetic images, synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) images, medical images, and
natural images, we comprehensively demonstrate the
new method is robust against various kinds of noises. In
particular, the new level set method can segment an
image of size 500 500 within 3 s on MATLAB R2010b
installed in a computer with 3.30-GHz CPU and 4-GB
memory.
This paper describes a clutter suppression approach
and the corresponding moving target imaging algorithm
for a multichannel in azimuth high-resolution and wideswath (MC-HRWS) synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
system. Incorporated with digital beaforming processing,
MC-HRWS SAR systems are able to suppress the Doppler
ambiguities to allow for HRWS SAR imaging and null the
clutter directions to suppress clutter for ground moving
target indication. In this paper, the degrees of freedom in
azimuth for the multichannel SAR systems are employed
to implement clutter suppression. First, the clutter and
moving target echoes are transformed into the range
compression and azimuth chirp Fourier transform
frequency domain, i.e., coarse-focused images
formation, when the clutter echoes are with azimuth
Doppler ambiguity. Considering that moving targets are
sparse in the imaging scene and that there is a difference
between clutter and a moving target in the spatial
domain, a series of spatial domain filters are constructed
to extract moving target echoes. Then, using an
extracted moving target echo, two groups of signals are
formed, and slant-range velocity of a moving target can
be estimated based on baseband Doppler centroid
estimation algorithm and multilook cross-correlation
Doppler centroid ambiguity number resolving approach.
After the linear range cellmigration correction and
azimuth focus processing, a well-focused moving target
image can be obtained.

A template optimization method based on elitist genetic

algorithm was proposed for lookup-table inverse
halftoning. A mathematical model with constraint
conditions was built to describe the template
optimization problem.We solved this optimization
problem by using elitist genetic algorithm and designed
the details about encoding and decoding scheme,
selection and reproduce, crossover, mutation, elitist
strategy and fitness function according to the proposed
optimization model. In experiments, we demonstrated
the performance on Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion,
Jarvis-Judice error diffusion, cluster dither, Bayer
disperse dither and dot diffusion halftone images.
According to our experiment study, our method
approaches to the optimal result closer than the greedy
algorithm and simulated annealing do. We suggested
on cluster dither images but on other four kinds of
halftone images.
This letter presents an improved polar format algorithm
for nonlinear aperture and wide field spotlight synthetic
aperture radar imaging. In the proposed algorithm, the
chirp z transform is used for uniform range resampling,
while the fast Gaussian grid nonuniform fast Fourier
transform is employed to focus the nonuniform samples
in azimuth. Additionally, the space variant post filtering
is incorporated for eliminating the geometric distortion
and marginal defocusing effects induced by wave front
curvature. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is
validated by simulation and real large scene Gotcha data
set.
This paper presents the multitemporal adaptive
processing (MAP3) framework for the treatment of
multitemporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.
The framework is organized in three major activities
dealing with calibration, adaptability,and representation.
The processing chain has been designed looking at the
simplicity, i.e., the minimization of the operations
needed to obtain the products, and at the algorithms
availability in the literature. Innovation has been
provided in the cross calibration step, which is solved
introducing the variable amplitude levels equalization
(VALE) method, through which it is possible to establish a
common metrics for the measurement of the amplitude
levels exhibited by the images of the series.

Indicator cokriging (ICK) has been shown to be an

effective subpixel mapping (SPM) algorithm. It is
noniterative and involves few parameters. The original
ICK-based SPM method,however, requires the
semivariogram of land cover classes from prior
information, usually in the form of fine spatial resolution
training images. In reality, training images are not always
available, or laborious work is needed to acquire them.
This paper aims to seek spatial structure information for
ICK when such prior land cover information is not
obtainable. Specifically, the fine spatial resolution
semivariogram of each class is estimated by the
deconvolution process, taking the coarse spatial
resolution semivariogram extracted fromthe class
proportion image as input. The obtained fine spatial
resolution semivariogram is then used to estimate class
occurrence probability at each subpixel with the ICK
method. Experiments demonstrated the feasibility of the
proposed ICK with the deconvolution approach. It
obtains comparable SPM accuracy to ICK that requires
semivariogram estimated from fine spatial resolution
training images. The proposed method extends ICK to
cases where the prior spatial structure information
is unavailable.
In this letter, a novel reversible data hiding (RDH)
algorithm is proposed for digital images. Instead of trying
to keep the PSNR value high, the proposed algorithm
enhances the contrast of a host image to improve its
visual quality. The highest two bins in the histogram are
selected for data embedding so that histogram
equalization can be performed by repeating the process.
The side information is embedded along with the
message bits into the host image so that the original
image is completely recoverable. The proposed
algorithm was implemented on two sets of images to
demonstrate its efficiency. To our best knowledge, it is
the first algorithm that achieves image contrast
enhancement by RDH. Furthermore, the evaluation
results show that the visual quality can be preserved
after a considerable amount of message bits have been
embedded into the contrast-enhanced images, even
better than three specific MATLAB functions used for
image contrast enhancement.

Classification
of Remote Sensing
Images

A major yet largely unsolved problem in the semantic

classification of very high resolution remote sensing
images is the design and selection of appropriate
features. At a ground sampling distance below half a
meter, fine-grained texture details of objects emerge and
lead to a large intra class variability while generally
keeping the between-class variability at a low level.
Usually, the user makes an educated guess on what
features seem to appropriately capture characteristic
object class patterns. Here, we propose to avoid manual
feature selection and let a boosting classifier choose
optimal features from a vast Randomized QuasiExhaustive (RQE) set of feature candidates directly
during training. This RQE feature set consists of a
multitude of very simple features that are computed
efficiently via integral images inside a sliding window.
This simple but comprehensive feature candidate set
enables the boosting classifier to assemble the most
discriminative textures at different scale levels to classify
a small number of broad urban land-cover classes.

Video streaming over best-effort networks, such as the

Internet, is now a significant application used by most
Internet users. However, best-effort networks are
characterized by dynamic and unpredictable changes in
the available bandwidth, which adversely affect the
quality of video. As such, it is important to have realtime detection mechanisms of bandwidth changes to
ensure that video is adapted to the available bandwidth
and transmitted at the highest quality. In this paper, we
propose a Bayesian instantaneous end-to-end bandwidth
change prediction model and method to detect and
predict one-way bandwidth changes at the receiver.
Unlike existing congestion detection mechanisms, which
use network parameters such as packet loss probability,
round trip time (RTT), or jitter, our approach uses
weighted inter arrival time of video packets at the
receiver side. Furthermore, our approach is continuous,
since it measures available bandwidth changes with each
incoming video packet, and therefore detects congestion
occurrence in <200 ms, on average, which is significantly
faster than existing approaches. In addition, it is a oneway scheme, since it only takes into account the
characteristics of the incoming path.

Ship detection on space borne images has attracted great

interest in the applications of maritime security and
traffic control. Optical images stand out from other
remote sensing images in object detection due to their
higher resolution and more visualized contents.
However, most of the popular techniques for ship
detection from optical space borne images have two
shortcomings:1) Compared with infrared and synthetic
aperture radar images, their results are affected by
weather conditions, like clouds and ocean waves, and 2)
the higher resolution results in larger data volume, which
makes processing more difficult. Most of the previous
works mainly focus on solving the first problem by
improving segmentation or classification with
complicated algorithms. These methods face difficulty in
efficiently balancing performance and complexity. In this
paper, we propose a ship detection approach to solving
the a for mentioned two issues using wavelet
coefficients extracted from JPEG2000 compressed
domain combined with deep neural network (DNN) and
extreme learning machine (ELM). Compressed domain is
adopted for fast ship candidate extraction, DNN is
exploited for high-level feature representation and
classification, and ELM is used for efficient feature
pooling and decision making.
In this paper, we present the design of an intelligent
monitoring system consisting of physical sensors and
intelligent software for the automatic identification of
the concentration of natural gas odorants in the
environment. An optical-based sensor array was
proposed comprising the hardware module. The
software module employs wavelets filters and artificial
neural networks to recognize the concentration of
odorant in a natural gas sample. The objective is to help
the natural gas odorization process by means of end
point monitoring through the recognizing of the odorant
concentration. The recognizing process uses a
benchmark index, which measures the degrees of human
perception of gas in the environment. In this way, the
proposed system tries to mimic the human perception of
a natural gas leak and helps one to indicate if more or
less amount of odorant should be added into the gas
pipeline.

We consider methods to address the optical feature

aided remote sensing tracking problem for vehicles in a
challenging environment. Our approach is to apply the
dynamic data driven application systems computing
paradigm to implement control of an adaptive sensor.
This adaptive sensor acquires a panchromatic image
while simultaneously allowing the collection of visiblenear infrared spectral data at specified pixels. This sensor
holds the promise of delivering the increased accuracy of
targeted spectral sensing without the enormous data
volume of full spectral images. The target of interest is
optimally imaged by the sensor based on the targets
forecasted location and motion relative to the extracted
content of the background. Background context is both
extracted from the image and created from the Open
Street Map road network. We describe the
implementation of the tracking framework and testing of
some of the components using simulated imagery
created with the digital imaging and remote sensing
image generation model.
The objective of this paper is to provide a better
understanding of the capabilities of the BIOMASS
tomography concerning the retrieval of forest biomass
and height in tropical areas. The analysis presented in
this paper is carried out on airborne data acquired by
Office National dEtudes et de Recherches Arospatiales
(ONERA) over the site of Paracou, French Guiana, during
the European Space Agency campaign TropiSAR. This
high-resolution data set (125-MHz bandwidth) was
reprocessed in order to generate a new data stack
consistent with BIOMASS as for the bandwidth (6 MHz)
and the azimuth resolution (about 12 m). To do this, two
different processing approaches have been considered.
One approach consisted of degrading the resolution of
the airborne data through the linear filtering of raw data,
followed by standard SAR processing. The other
approach consisted of recovering the 3-D distribution of
the scatterers at a high resolution, which was then
reprojected onto the BIOMASS geometry. The latter
procedure allows us to obtain a data stack that is the
most realistic emulation of BIOMASS imaging
capabilities. In both approaches, neither ionospheric
disturbances nor temporal decorrelation has been
considered.

In this paper, we report on the performance of a

semiempirical algorithm for the retrieval of soil moisture
(SM) under dense tropical forests using ultrahigh
frequency (UHF) polarimetric synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) data. The algorithm is a simplification of a 3-D
coherent model of forest canopy based on the distorted
Born approximation (DBA). The simplified model reduces
the number of parameters and preserves the three
dominant scattering mechanisms of volume, volume
surface, and surface for three polarized backscattering
coefficients, i.e., HH, HV, and VV, at UHF frequencies.
The inversion process uses the LevenbergMarquardt
nonlinear least squares method to estimate the three
model parameters: vegetation aboveground biomass,
integrated SM up to a certain depth, and surface
roughness. The performance of the inversion process is
examined by first using simulation data where the initial
values of the inversion process vary randomly and then
using airborne UHF SAR data acquired in Costa Rica over
La Selva Biological Station. The results with simulated
data show that the inversion process is not significantly
sensitive to initial values considering they are in the
range of 50% of the true value.
The magnitude error and phase error (MEPE) in the
transfer function of a stepped-frequency synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) system results in a periodic MEPE in
the synthesized wideband waveform, which induces the
grating lobes in the high-resolution range profile. In this
letter, a novel grating lobe suppression method based on
the SAR image is proposed. In the paired-echo theory, a
single sinusoidal term of the periodic MEPE in the
frequency domain induces a pair of grating lobes in the
time domain. Based on the magnitudes and phases of a
strong scatterer and its grating lobes in the SAR image,
the sinusoidal terms in the periodic MEPE can be
estimated using the proposed method. By compensating
for the estimated sinusoidal terms in the spectrum
reconstruction, the corresponding grating lobes can be
suppressed to the background level of the SAR image.
The validity of the proposed method has been
demonstrated using computer simulations and
experiments based on real data.

In this letter, we propose a multi-task compressive

sparse entries based on hierarchical Bayesian
framework. By extending a paired spike-and-slab prior to
a general multi-task model, the proposed algorithm has
the capability of modeling both inter-task and intra-task
dependencies of the observation data. The latter is
achieved by imposing a clustered prior on non-zero
entries and finds applications in radar where targets
exhibit spatial extent. Simulation results verify that the
proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art group
sparse Bayesian learning algorithms.
Automatic distinction between genuine (spontaneous)
and posed expressions is important for visual analysis of
social signals. In this paper, we describe an informative
set of features for the analysis of face dynamics, and
propose a completely automatic system to distinguish
between genuine and posed enjoyment smiles. Our
system incorporates facial land marking and tracking,
through which features are extracted to describe the
dynamics of eyelid, cheek, and lip corner movements. By
fusing features over different regions, as well as over
different temporal phases of a smile, we obtain a very
accurate smile classifier. We systematically investigate
age and gender effects, and establish that age-specific
classification significantly improves the results, even
when the age is automatically estimated. We evaluate
our system on the 400-subject UvA-NEMO database we
have recently collected, as well as on three other smile
databases from the literature.
Food recognition is a key component in evaluation
of everyday food intakes, and its challenge is due to
intraclass variation. In this paper, we present an
automatic food classification method, DietCam, which
specifically addresses the variation of food appearances.
DietCam consists two major components, ingredient
detection and food classification. Food ingredients are
detected through a combination of a deformable partbased model and a texture verification model. From the
detected ingredients,food categories are classified using
a multi-view multikernel SVM. In the experiment,
DietCam presents reliability and outperformance in
recognition of food with complex ingredients on a
database of 55 food types with 15262 food images.

This paper deals with several original contributions to an

automatic target recognition (ATR) system, which is
applied to underwater mine classification. The
contributions concentrate on feature selection and
object classification. First, a sophisticated filter method is
designed for the feature selection. This filter method
utilizes a novel feature relevance measure, the
composite relevance measure (CRM). Feature relevance
measures in the literature (e.g., mutual information and
relief weight) evaluate the features only with respect to
certain aspects. The CRM is a combination of several
measures so that it is able to provide a more
comprehensive assessment of the features. Both linear
and nonlinear combinations of these measures are taken
into account.
In this paper, we propose a blind digital image water
marking technique by combining Discrete Wavelet
Transform (DWT) with Singular Value Decomposition
(SVD) to improve the robustness and the capacity. In
detail, Singular Values (SVs) of watermarks are replaced
with the suitable SVs of HH sub-bands of the original
images. Additionally, our method generates keys that
ensures the security for the watermarks in the
embedding and the extraction process. Experiments on
images for digital watermarking attacked by Stirmark
Benchmark 4.0 tool show that our method is more
robust, imperceptible and higher capacity than others.
t has been shown that image compression based on
principal component analysis (PCA) provides good
compression efficiency for hyperspectral images.
However, PCA might fail to capture all the discriminant
information of hyperspectral images, since features that
are important for classification tasks may not be high in
signal energy. To deal with this problem, we propose a
hybrid compression method for hyperspectral images
with pre-encoding discriminant information. A feature
extraction method is first applied to the original images,
producing a set of feature vectors that are used to
generate feature images and then residual images by
subtracting the feature-reconstructed images from the
original ones. Both feature images and residual images
are compressed and transmitted.

This work proposes a novel reversible image data hiding

(RIDH) scheme over encrypted domain. The data
embedding is achieved through a public key modulation
mechanism, in which access to the secret encryption key
is not needed. At the decoder side, a powerful two-class
SVM classifier is designed to distinguish encrypted and
non-encrypted image patches, allowing us to jointly
decode the embedded message and the original image
signal. Compared with the state-of-the-arts, the
proposed approach provides higher embedding capacity,
and is able to perfectly reconstruct the original image as
well as the embedded message. Extensive experimental
results are provided to validate the superior
performance of our scheme.
Images are typically non-stationary signals. If prediction
is applied in a linear fashion, it must be combined with a
technique that takes this characteristic into account. In
general, images can be either regarded as piecewise twodimensional autoregressive processes or they are
handled in a block-wise manner. This paper presents a
novel prediction technique, which treats the image data
as an interleaved sequence generated by multiple
sources. The challenge is to de-interleave the sequence
and to compute prediction weights for each sub-source
separately. The proposed approach adaptively
determines the sub-sources based on the textures
surrounding the pixels. The new linear prediction
technique is combined with template-matching
prediction and a blending method is proposed which
considers the correlation between the predictors
estimates.
This paper proposes a novel scheme of reversible data
hiding (RDH) in encrypted images using distributed
source coding (DSC). After the original image is
encrypted by the content owner using a stream cipher,
the data-hider compresses a series of selected bits taken
from the encrypted image to make room for the secret
data. The selected bit series is Slepian-Wolf encoded
using low density parity check (LDPC) codes. On the
receiver side, the secret bits can be extracted if the
image receiver has the embedding key only. In case the
receiver has the encryption key only, he/she can recover
the original image approximately with high quality using
an image estimation algorithm.

Compared with daytime, a larger proportion of road

for drivers partially explains this situation. It becomes
worse when dense fog is present. In this paper, we first
define a standard night visibility index, which allows
specifying the type of fog that an advanced driver
assistance system should recognize. A methodology to
detect the presence of night fog and characterize its
density in images grabbed by an in-vehicle camera is
then proposed. The detection method relies on the visual
effects of night fog. A first approach evaluates the
presence of fog around a vehicle due to the detection of
the backscattered veil created by the headlamps. In this
aim, a correlation index is computed between the
current image and a reference image where the fog
density is known. It works when the vehicle is alone on a
highway without external light sources.

We propose the application of cosine windowing for the

orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
systems to self-cancel inter carrier interference (ICI) in
fast time-varying channels prior to receptions. With a
time-domain cosine window immediately after the
inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) unit in OFDM
transmitters, the ICI fractions from adjacent subcarriers
significantly cancel one another at the expense of the
orthogonally violation among subcarriers in the main
lobe. As a result, the frequency-domain channel matrix
reshaped by the cosine windowing can be closely
approximated to a strictly banded matrix. In the complex
exponential basis expansion model (CE-BEM), we present
the estimation of the channel matrix with the assistance
of the pilot clusters.
Convergence constrained power allocation (CCPA)in
single-carrier multiuser (MU) single-input multipleoutput (SIMO) systems with turbo equalization is
considered in this paper. In order to exploit the full
benefit of the iterative receiver, its convergence
properties need to be taken into account also at the
transmitter side. The proposed scheme can guarantee
that the desired quality of service (QoS) is achieved after
a sufficient number of iterations. We propose two

different successive convex approximations for solving

the non-convex power minimization problem subject to
user specific QoS constraints. The results of an extrinsic
information transfer (EXIT) chart analysis demonstrate
that the proposed CCPA scheme can achieve the design
objective. Numerical results show that the proposed
schemes can achieve superior performance in terms of
power consumption as compared to linear receivers with
and without precoding, as well as to the iterative
receiver without precoding.
This paper presents three beam forming designs for
multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output with
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, where the
transmit and receive beam formers are obtained
iteratively with closed-form steps. In the first case, the
transmit (Tx) beam formers are set and the receive (Rx)
beam formers are calculated. It works by projecting
the Tx beam formers into a null space of appropriate
channels .This eliminates one interference term for each
user. Then the Rx beam former for each user maximizes
its instantaneous signal to noise ratio (SNR) while
satisfying an orthogonality condition to eliminate the
remaining interferences. The second case is jointly
optimizing the Tx and Rx beam formers from constrained
SNR maximization. It uses the results from the first case.
The third case is also for joint optimization of TxRx
beam formers but combines constrained SNR and signalto-interference-plus-noise ratio maximization. The
minimum number of antennas required is derived as part
of the formulation.
We describe a quantum multiple access scheme that can
take separate single photon channels and combine them
in the same path. We propose an add-drop multiplexer
that can insert or extract a single photon into an optical
fiber carrying the Sub its of all the other users. The
system follows the principle of code division multiple
access, a spread spectrum technique widely used in
cellular networks.

decoder produces one or multiple candidates with

greater probabilities to enhance the throughput in the
VLC system. We also propose a selection method based
on a cyclic redundancy check among multiple candidates.
A significant advantage of our proposed method is that it
leads to performance enhancement without any change
in the transmitter in VLC systems.
We show that multi-tap equalization can significantly
enhance the tolerance to laser frequency instability and
phase noise in optical fast orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) systems. We demonstrate the
transmission of a 38-Gb/s 16 quadrature amplitude
modulation coherent optical fast OFDM signal over 1000km single-mode fiber using different types of lasers. It is
shown that with this technique, the receiver sensitivity
can be greatly improved and overhead for carrier
frequency offset estimation to track the wavelength can
be reduced for commercial lasers. This verifies the
benefits of the technique in a continuous-mode optical
communication system. We also show that the
performance of multi-tap equalization in optical fast
OFDM can be better than that in conventional OFDM,
and an experiment using lasers with frequency
modulation to emulate frequency oscillating effect
during wavelength transition shows that optical fast

A multistage carrier phase estimation (CPE) scheme for
any m-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)
formats is proposed and analyzed in coherent optical
communication systems. The scheme is based on the
crossed constellation transformation algorithm that is
transparent to all modulation formats whose
constellations are on the square grid. Simulation results
show that the hardware complexity of the proposed CPE
scheme can be significantly reduced by the group factors
of 6.1/8.6, 4.7/6, and 2.6/3.3 (in the form of
multipliers/adders) for 32-QAM, 64-QAM, and 128-QAM
compared with the single stage blind phase search
algorithm. In 32-QAM, 64-QAM, and 128-QAM, coherent
optical communication systems with 1-dB SNR penalty at
bit error rate is 1 102, the comparable line width
symbol duration can be reached with the values of 6

To reduce the guard interval, short-cyclic-prefix coherent

optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COOFDM) divides a band into two sub bands and
precompensates for chromatic dispersion (CD) with
timing offset. Implementation using full band inverse
discrete Fourier transformations (IDFTs), however, can
excessively increase hardware complexity. We propose
an efficient hardware implementation of IDFT with
timing offsets for short-cyclic-prefix CO-OFDM. In
addition, the residual inter sub band CD induced by
quantized timing offset is compensated using subcarrierbased phase rotation. By increasing the number of sub
bands efficiently and compensating for the residual inter
sub band CD, the transmission performance can be
improved. Simulation results show 112-Gb/s singlechannel transmission over a 2250-km standard single
mode- fiber with polarization division multiplexing 16
quadrature amplitude modulation (PDM-16 QAM) using
128 DFT with a 16 guard interval.
We present a Gaussian conditional random field model
for the aggregation of aerosol optical depth (AOD)
retrievals from multiple satellite instruments into a joint
retrieval. The model provides aggregated retrievals with
higher accuracy and coverage than any of the individual
instruments while also providing an estimation of
retrieval uncertainty. The proposed model finds an
optimal temporally smoothed combination of individual
retrievals that minimizes the root-mean-squared error of
AOD retrieval. We evaluated the model on five years
(20062010) of satellite data over North America from
five instruments (Aqua and Terra MODIS, MISR, SeaWiFS,
and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument), collocated with
ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network ground-truth
AOD readings, clearly showing that the aggregation of
different sources leads to improvements in the accuracy
and coverage of AOD retrievals.
The simultaneous wireless transfer of information and
power with the help of a relay equipped with multiple
antennas is considered in this letter, where a harvestand-forward strategy is proposed. In particular, the
relay harvests energy and obtains information from the
source with the radio-frequent signals by jointly using
the antenna selection (AS) and power splitting (PS)
techniques, and then the processed information is

amplified and forwarded to the destination relying on

the harvested energy. This letter jointly optimizes AS and
PS to maximize the achievable rate for the proposed
strategy. Considering that the joint optimization is
according to the non-convex problem, a two-stage
procedure is proposed to determine the optimal ratio
of received signal power split for energy harvesting, and
the optimized antenna set engaged in information
forwarding. Simulation results confirm the accuracy of
the two-stage procedure, and demonstrate that the
proposed harvest-and-forward strategy outperforms
the conventional amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying and
the direct transmission.
This paper explores a novel receiver architecture for
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive
radio (CR) that utilizes compressive sensing (CS)
technique. Assuming that a limited number of
subcarriers are used simultaneously in one MIMO-OFDM
channel, we show that the conventional MIMO receiver
can be replaced with the proposed receiver to
compressively sample signals. In the proposed reception
architecture, signals from multiple antennas are mixed
and sampled with less hardware by exploiting the
sparsity in the OFDM channel usage. Applying the CS
technology to the receiver directly reduces the power
consumption in mixed signal circuit which is attributable
to less number of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). A
new streamlined algorithm for digital signal processing
(DSP) to recover the compressively sensed data is also
devised. Besides the simplification of the signal sensing,
the simulation results also show that the reception
fidelity of the proposed architecture outperforms that of
the conventional maximum likelihood (ML) MIMO
detector when the channel is lightly loaded.

Every year, a large number of wildfires all over the world

burn forested lands, causing adverse ecological,
economic, and social impacts. Beyond taking
precautionary measures, early warning and immediate
response are the only ways to avoid great losses. To this
end, in this paper we propose a computer vision
approach for fire-flame detection to be used by an early
warning fire monitoring system. Initially, candidate fire
regions in a frame are defined using background
subtraction and color analysis based on a nonparametric
model. Subsequently, the fire behavior is modeled by
employing various spatio-temporal features, such as
color probability, flickering, spatial, and spatiotemporal
energy, while dynamic texture analysis is applied in each
candidate region using linear dynamical systems and a
bag of systems approach. To increase the robustness of
the algorithm, the spatio-temporal consistency energy of
each candidate fire region is estimated by exploiting
prior knowledge about the possible existence of fire in
neighboring blocks from the current and previous video
frames. As a final step, a two-class support vector
machine classifier is used to classify the candidate
regions. Experimental results have shown that the
proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art
algorithms.
In the existing literature the forced termination
probability is analyzed after the completion of spectrum
allocation (SA) process. Since the forced termination
probability depends on the allocation results, it is
necessary to take the termination probability into
account during the allocation process. In this paper, a two
dimensional Markov model is used for analyzing the
spectrum access. The Markov process assumes the mean
arrival time of primary and secondary users and
calculates the forced termination probability. In the
current work,
the forced termination probability is considered as one
objective function along with three network utility
functions namely Max- Sum-Reward, Max-Min-Reward
and Max-Proportional-Fair to improve the quality of
service. Finally the spectrum allocation process is
formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem
consisting of the above mentioned four objective
functions and solved by using multi-objective differential

algorithm is compared with non dominated sorting
genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) for solving the SA problem.
The simulation results show that MODE performs better
compared to NSGA-II algorithm in terms of timing
complexity and pare to optimal solutions.
This letter proposes a time-frequency joint sparse channel
estimation for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems
under the framework of structured compressive sensing
(CS). The proposed scheme first relies on a
pseudorandom preamble, which is identical for all
transmit antennas, to acquire the partial common
support by utilizing the sparse common support property
of the MIMO channels. Then, a very small amount of
frequency-domain orthogonal pilots are used for the
accurate channel recovery. Simulation results show that
the proposed scheme demonstrates better performance
and higher spectral efficiency than the conventional
MIMO-OFDM schemes. Moreover, the obtained partial
common support can be further utilized to reduce the
complexity of the CS algorithm and improve the signal
recovery probability under low signal-to-noise-ratio
conditions.
Contemporary cellular standards, such as Long Term
Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced, employ orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and use
frequency domain scheduling and rate adaptation. In
conjunction with feedback reduction schemes, high
downlink spectral efficiencies are achieved while limiting
the uplink feedback overhead. One such important
scheme that has been adopted by these standards is bestm feedback, in which every user feeds back its m largest
subchannel (SC) power gains and their corresponding
indices.We analyze the single cell average throughput of
an OFDM system with uniformly correlated SC gains that
employs best-mfeedback and discrete rate adaptation.
Our model incorporates three schedulers that cover a
wide range of the throughput versus fairness tradeoff and
feedback delay. We show that, for small m, correlation
significantly reduces average throughput with bestmfeedback. This result is pertinent as even in typical
dispersive channels, correlation is high.

Filter bank multicarrier transmission with offset-QAM

(FBMC/OQAM) is a promising candidate waveform for the
next mobile communication systems as it is well suited
for many new scenarios and challenges like improved
spectral efficiency, spectrum sharing approaches or high
mobility scenarios. It does not require a cyclic prefix (CP)
leading to a higher spectral efficiency than orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing with CP (CP-OFDM) and
the flexibility of the transmit and receive filters enables
higher throughput in spectral sharing and high mobility
scenarios. One aspect to be considered is efficient
channel estimation that is needed in order to realize
these gains. As the classical channel estimation used for
CP-OFDM cannot be applied directly to FBMC/OQAM,
new competitive solutions are needed. One promising
solution for the pilot design suited for FBMC introduces
an auxiliary pilot (precoding symbol) that nullifies the
intrinsic interference at the pilot position, but this leads
to increased power on these auxiliary pilots.
In this paper, SC-FDMA and OFDM systems with fast
tracking equalizer based on RLS algorithm in multipath
fading environments are proposed. In the proposed SCFDMA and OFDM system with fast tracking equalizer,
known-reference signals are allocated to the 1st slot of
transmitting slots on each subcarrier at the transmitter.
The transmitted signals are equalized with the reference
signals on the frequency domain at the receiver. The
channel information is updated by performing estimation
based on RLS algorithm with the reference signals during
the signal transmission, and the fast tracking equalization
is performed. In order to confirm the transmission
performance with fast tracking equalizer, computer
simulations about BER and PAPR are carried out. As the
results of computer simulation, the improvement of BER
for the systems with equalizer based on LMS algorithm is
about twice higher than the conventional system with
only the initial equalization.
Long Term Evolution (LTE) a Third Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) is developed for multimedia applications
on mobile user equipment with very high data rates of
the order 75/300 Mbps and low latency of 10msec. The
high data rates are achieved by using SC-FDMA radio
access mechanism for uplink communication and OFDM
access mechanism for downlink. The performance can be

further improved by scheduling the user data in an

efficient manner considering channel characteristics as
well as its QOS parameters, thereby allocating the
resources to maximize the throughput. The Packet
Scheduler helps in handling the LTE data traffic by
allocating the resources both in time and frequency
dimension. In this paper, we propose a novel scheduling
algorithm that allocates maximum resources for the
random users depending on their channel SNR condition
with main focus on the data flow behavior.

A new modulated hopping Discrete Fourier Transform

(mHDFT) algorithm which is characterized by its merits of
high accuracy and constant stability is presented. The
proposed algorithm, which is based on the circular
frequency shift property of DFT, directly moves the DFT
bin to the position of, and computes the DFT by
incorporating the successive DFT outputs with arbitrary
time hop . Compared to previous works, since the pole of
mHDFT precisely settles on the unit circle in the Z-plane,
the accumulated errors and potential instabilities, which
are caused by the quantization of the twiddle factor, are
always
eliminated
without
increasing
much
computational effort. The numerical simulation results
verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed
algorithm.
This paper presents a novel electrocardiogram (ECG)
processing technique for joint data compression and QRS
detection in awireless wearable sensor. The proposed
algorithm is aimed at lowering the average complexity
per task by sharing the computational load among
multiple essential signal-processing tasks needed for
wearable devices. The compression algorithm, which is
based on an adaptive linear data prediction scheme,
achieves a lossless bit compression ratio of 2.286x. The
QRS detection algorithm achieves a sensitivity (Se) of
99.64% and positive prediction (+P) of 99.81% when
tested with the MIT/BIH Arrhythmia database. Lower
overall complexity and good performance renders the
proposed technique suitable for wearable/ambulatory
ECG devices.

Authenticating watermarking is nothing but inserting a

hidden object in order to detect deceitful alteration by
hackers. The object may be in terms of a secret key or
password etc. There are quite few numbers of
authentication methods are available for videos. Resent
developers in digital video and internet technology helps
the common user to easily produce illegal copies of
videos. In order to solve the copyright protection problem
and deceitful alteration by hackers of videos, several
water marking schemes have been widely used. Very few
authenticating of watermarking schemes have been
produced for defining the copyrights of digital video. The
process of Digital watermark embeds the data called
watermark in digital media like image, video, audio file
etc. so that it can be claimed for rights. The paper
represents the complete software implementation of 3Level DWT algorithms and to have more secure data a
secret key is used. The secret key is given to watermark
image during embedding process and while extracting the
watermark image the same secret key is used. To check
effectiveness of the watermark video MSE and PSNR
parameters are used.
Automatic speech recognition systems perform on
acoustic speech signals and therefore they are unreliable
in noisy environments. Visual speech features such as lip
movements of a speaker can make the speech recognition
system robust. To track the lip movements, lip contour
extraction is a necessary step and plays a crucial role in
the visual speech recognition. In this paper, we propose a
new method for lip contour extraction using fuzzy
clustering with elliptic shape information and active
contour model. In this method, we combined both image
and model based methods to improve the performance of
lip contour extraction. Our proposed lip contour
extraction method outperforms few of existing lip
contour extraction methods. We applied our lip contour
extraction method on 3600 lip images from Vid Limit
database and results are found better than the few
existing lip contour extraction methods.
