Advances in the industry are gaining attentions from the scientific computing community. Programming models and frameworks such as MapReduce and Hadoop are attracting scientists due to their easy-to-use interfaces and autonomic parallel processing abilities. Compared with the conventional HPC execution environments, clouds possess desirable features such as administrative privilege, customizable software...
Location Based Service (LBS), although it greatly benefits the daily life of mobile device users, has introduced significant threats to privacy. In an LBS system, even under the protection of pseudonyms, users may become victims of inference attacks, where an adversary reveals a user's real identity and complete moving trajectory with the aid of side information, e.g., accidental identity disclosure...
Reducing server's bandwidth pressure is one of the key problems in the designing of peer-to-peer video-on-demand system. In this paper, we analysis and model this problem via using the “pseudo sequence scheduling”, which is widely used by many peer-to-peer video-on-demand systems. We reveal the relations between the server bandwidth consumption, the cache size and the join speed of peers. This result...
With emerging Internet-scale open content and resource sharing, social networks, and complex cyber-physical systems, trust issues become prominent. In this paper, we propose a trust vector based scheme (VectorTrust) for aggregation of distributed trust scores. Leveraging a Bellman-Ford based algorithm for fast trust score aggregation, VectorTrust features localized and distributed concurrent communication...
This paper proposes a mobile-agent-based data gathering system (called TinyBee) in wireless sensor networks. Most existing mobile-agent-based systems consider only static sinks/servers. In this paper, we consider both mobile servers and lightweight mobile agents. We aim to design a data gathering system using a special kind of mobile agent called TinyBee to collect data all over a network. TinyBee...
