In this paper, a dynamic offloading model is proposed to minimize the energy consumption of mobile devices by exploiting cloud computational resources for view synthesis. The computational complexity of view synthesis, the processing capability of the cloud, the processing capability and the power consumption of the mobile are considered jointly into the model to provide an optimized solution. Several...
Point-based value iteration methods are a class of effective algorithms for solving POMDP model. However, most of these algorithms explore the belief point set by single heuristic criterion, thus limit the effectiveness. A value iteration algorithm (HHVI) based on hybrid heuristic criteria for exploring belief points set is presented in the paper. HHVI maintains the upper and lower bounds on the value...
Our daily life is more convenient than ever before because of the great progress of science and technology. However, the body building or fitness are always ignored in modern daily life. In this paper, we propose a Virtual Personal Trainer to provide real time visually action guide and action assessment during the fitness time of users via the Microsoft Kinect Sensor. The user actions are captured...
Mining influence in evolving entities is an important but challenging task, partly due to complex nature of it. In this paper, we mainly focus on the following problems on it with respect to stock market: (1) How to identify pairs of stocks that influence one another; (2) How to quantify the influence and capture group effects and dynamic nature of influence of each stock; (3) How to adopt approximate...
In the current IaaS cloud market, to achieve profit maximization, multiple cloud providers compete non-cooperatively by offering diverse price rates. At the same time, tenant consumers judiciously adjust demands accordingly, which in turn affects cloud resource prices. In this paper, we tackle this fundamental but daunting cloud price competition problem with Bertrand game modeling, and propose a...
Various paging strategies have been proposed to improve the efficiency of paging management. However, most of the schemes ignore how to obtain location predictions or are too complex for real systems. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive paging scheme designed according to the mobility pattern and location probabilities. The Bayesian network is used as the location prediction model which describes...
