This paper aims to evaluate the data storage performance with hybrid storage. In large scale smart-living applications, data require a smart and efficient manner to store daily living information. Object-based storage is a storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manage data as a file hierarchy and block storage which manages...
Reliability has become a critical design issue in flash storage systems, because of the adoption of the low-cost, high-error-rate flash chips to fulfill the needs of the fast-growing storage capacity. In this paper, a multi-version checkpointing strategy is proposed to resolve the reliability issue of flash storage systems from the perspective of flash file systems. The proposed strategy can efficiently...
The single chip microcontroller units (MCU) are widely applied in various embedded systems combined with different function type of sensors, robots, hybrid vehicle, or communication interfaces to control circuits. Usually single chip MCU system is triggered via the input voltage to affect the internal program logic, and then, the output state is changed. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is...
This paper presents a two-factor authentication with key agreement scheme for smart living applications. The proposed mechanism integrates IMSI identifier and identity-based remote mutual authentication scheme on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). It supports flawless two-factor and mutual authentication of participants and agreement of session key. The proposed mechanism does not require modifying...
This paper presents a two-factor authentication with key agreement scheme for web-based collaborative systems. The proposed mechanism integrates URI fragment identifier with secure email token and identity-based remote mutual authentication scheme on ECC. It supports flawless two-factor and mutual authentication of participants and agreement of session key. The proposed mechanism does not require...
Web-based applications offer a range of the benefits over traditional desktop applications; they are good for wide accessibility, platform independence, rich user experience, dynamic content, high scalability easy-to-share, and easy-to-use. This paper proposes a web-based framework of multimedia support for collaborative editing. A transmission protocol that integrates OT with the consideration of...
Modern smart mobile devices offer media-rich and native features that are highly useful for e-book applications. In particular, many e-book application developers have chosen Apple's iOS mobile devices such as iPad, or iPhone as the target device to provide more creative and richer user experience, as evidenced by the rapidly increasing number of publication apps in Apple's App Store. In this paper,...
The importance of mobile devices has attracted increasing attention among designers, traditional media publishers, ad agencies, and companies of all sizes to create, distribute, monetize, and optimize interactive content for ubiquitous mobile application. Nonetheless, creating a good mobile application providing rich interactive user experience is time consuming due to the design chaos, communication...
E-book reader, as an evolutionary artifact for digital reading, has caught attention all over the world. In this customer-centered era, understanding why users adopt and continue using e-book readers (e.g. eReaders and digital devices equipped with reader software) become essential design issues for related scholars and practitioners. However, critical design factors are still obscure due to the rapid...
The importance of web application and advanced technology has attracted increasing attention as both the concerns of digital content and publishers in education industry. Ebook, as an educational technology, thus promises to revolutionize the way we learn. Take this widespread publicity and lack of related researches as an opportunity, our study aims at categorizing four different ebook learners'...
Many researchers and vendors have proposed their XML storage approaches based on relational databases (RDB), which are called XML-relational databases (XRDB). To manipulate XML data in XRDB, many excellent model-mapping schemas were proposed to provide schema definitions to translate various XML documents with different structures into relational tables. Such an approach can support any sophisticated...
In addition to provide major funding for many Internet companies, online advertising creates a disutility to consumers, subsequently reducing market share. However, previous works focus only on the topical relevance of ads and, in doing so, neglect consumer attitudes. From the view of text processing, they focus only on the topic dimension of texts, while paying no attention to the sentiment dimension...
