The market penetration of in-home entertainment systems is playing a crucial role in the diffusion of interactive multimedia services. In this context, thin-client game systems have received a lot of attention, shifting the computational burden of the game play toward the server while the client renders a fat video stream. This paper proposes an analysis of the network characteristics of the Remote...
The widespread use of mobile technology has accelerated the popularity of social networking services, and has made these services convenient to access. This paper presents a behaviometric mobile application, namely TrackMaison (Track My activity in social networks). TrackMaison keeps track of social network service usage of smartphone users through data usage, location, usage frequency and session...
In the last years we have experienced a growing industrial interest in Mobile Cloud Networking (MCN) as the opportunity to exploit the cloud computing paradigm through Network Function Virtualization (NFV), primarily with the goal to reduce CAPEX/OPEX for future mobile networks deployment and operation. The gain from the point of view of infrastructure costs reduction is almost clear and recognized,...
Using Density Functional Theory we have investigated the migration of oxygen vacancies and hydrogen impurities in the oxide β-Ga2O3. For our studies we used the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method in order to determine the Minimum Energy Paths (MEP) and the migration barriers. Neutral and doubly charged oxygen vacancies are considered to be the most common intrinsic defects in Ga2O3. In addition, hydrogen...
Several learning technologies have been developed over the years in order to help distance learning process. However, those technologies are still not enough to give the proper interaction between their users and the technologies themselves. It is caused by the absence of the technologies ability to give context based on their users conditions. When human interacts with each other, they understand...
Stereo vision is an active research topic in computer vision. Point Grey® Bumblebee® and digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) are normally found in the stereo vision research, they are robust but expensive. Open source electronic prototyping platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi are interesting products, which allows students or researchers to custom made inexpensive experimental equipment...
Packet-based mobile networks are increasingly carrying internet traffic mostly for data intensive-applications. Mobile internet usage, with 67% share worldwide, is very important for mobile users. Because of the explosive growth of mobile data usage demand, data speed analysis is a very essential way to characterize network quality and user experience for service providers. Key Performance Indicators...
Einstein Chess is one of the Olympic computer game competition items. It is obviously different from the other games. Players throw the dice, then according to the dice's point number, the player decide to move the chess piece. The dice's point number is random. Therefore, Einstein chess is a random game of complete information. Research on random game is still in the exploration stage. This paper...
The authors carry out a real time stability analysis of fourth order frequency-dependent components of the specialized computer systems used on autonomous mobile platforms with parameters reconfigurable depending on the environment conditions.
In secret sharing schemes, there is always a special participant called the dealer who controls the distribution of the secret S. It is so powerful that once the dealer is depraved, the whole system is to be paralyzed. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to cancel the privilege of the dealer and realize completely fair secret sharing. In this paper, we make use of the excellent additivity...
In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), any vehicle uses a location service to get an up-to-date data of all vehicles' positions in its vicinity. Many location services rely on infrastructures to perform location update and location query tasks. However, the infrastructure penetration rate may differ from one region to another. We propose in this paper a new location service called Vehicle-Aided Location...
Internet service providers (ISPs) have been facing heavy competition to attract more users in the mobile data market, along with growing operational costs. Most mobile data plans charge users a fixed fee for a monthly data quota, and any unused data at the end of each month will be wasted. In the beginning of 2015, both AT&T and T-Mobile reinstated rollover data plans with constrained eligibility...
In this paper, we propose a new model for parent alerting and automatic attendance marking using of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and GSM(Global System for Mobile Communication). This system will enable automated and reliable attendance, informing parents and school administration about the same. For implementing this system each student and professor will be having a unique RFID card. A micro...
Participation by the citizens in core activities of governance, social, cultural and political issues is seen as an indicator of the development of any state. The access to internet has provided an important tool for the participation of people in developing countries like India, China and Brazil. The use of internet has created an upsurge in the economic sphere of the country. Its use is no more...
With the advent of powerful and inexpensive sensing technology the ability to study human behaviour and activity at large scale and for long periods is becoming a firm reality. Wearables and mobile devices further allow the continuous physical colocation with the users. This reality generates new challenges but also opens the door to potentially innovative ways of understanding our daily lives. In...
This talk will present a vision, and real-world examples, of the use of mobile crowdsourcing for building a variety of smart-city applications and services. I will first describe the paradigm of centrally-coordinated crowdsourcing, where the crowdsourcing platform intelligently recommends different tasks to different candidate workers, and contrast it with today's prevalent paradigm, where workers...
The Mobile ad-hoc network do not take any static infrastructure and they depend on their neighbors to convey message. The mobile nodules can travel all over the network in an unrestricted fashion. Unlike wired networks, there is no fixed and committed link exists between the nodes. The self-organizing capability of nodes in MANET made it trendy among crucial mission functions like military usage and...
Now-a-days children and women are facing many security related problems. In such situations, they are helpless and don't have any way to protect them or inform it to their family members, neighbours or police station and they feel as handicaps. Hence there should be a system to protect them in such times. So this system helps them to seek help in any critical situation. For that, the system contains...
Even today, a large number of organizations collect data using paper forms. However, it can be difficult to aggregate, and analyze the data collected using paper forms. Better management and processing of forms and applications is indispensable to improving customer experience. But, typing the form data into a spreadsheet is time-consuming, mundane and may result in errors. Various attempts have been...
A MapReduce-based framework for processing data at edges, includingnodes on the Internet of Things (IoT), is presented in this paper. Although MapReduce processing and its clones have been designed forhigh-performance server clusters, the processing itself is simple andgeneralized, so it should be used in non-high-performance computingenvironments, e.g., IoT and sensor networks. The proposed frameworkdeploys...
