In this scenario, classification approaches are useful to understand differences and identify opportunities of generalization and common solutions, especially when different disciplines are coming together and bringing their individual terms and concepts. We propose a novel model for classifying Smart Objects using capabilities. This five-level model, inspired in the Capability Maturity Models, aims to be simple and inclusive, separating objects with basic capabilities from those with complex ones. In addition, examples of objects for each level are provided as validation of the proposal. The model is useful to identify requirements that Smart Objects have to cover externally as they cannot themselves support them and thus it allows for clear understanding of the external support system (or Middleware) into which the smart object is embedded.","PeriodicalId":169858,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Smart Computing","volume":"51 3S 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130909144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most existing schemes, each gateway node broadcasts gateway advertisements to announce its presence. The decision of when to emit advertisements can influence the performance of the network. Traditional gateway discovery schemes adopt the method of periodically emitting advertisements with a time interval. However, this method does not fulfill the actual needs of the source nodes. This paper proposes a novel adaptive scheme for gateway discovery, in which the gateway broadcasts advertisements only on-demand instead of periodic emission. In order to obtain the network's actual demands for gateway advertisement, routes to the gateway are monitored. In particular, if any route is predicted to be broken, the source node requires fresh gateway advertisements to update routes, and then the gateway will be triggered to broadcast to fulfill such demands. We study the performance of on-demand gateway discovery scheme by a comparison approach. The results show that the proposed adaptive gateway discovery scheme greatly outperforms the conventional solutions: it is capable of achieving higher packet delivery ratio and lower end-to-end delay, while minimizing the routing overhead.","PeriodicalId":169858,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Smart Computing","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121947561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the high bandwidth issue of real-time gaming video transmission, a cloudlet-assisted multiplayer cloud gaming system was proposed to encourage cooperative video sharing via a secondary ad-hoc network, on the purpose of exploiting the similarities of video frames among multiple players in a same game. However, the video cooperative sharing among players also introduces fairness problems. In this paper, we complete the ad hoc cloudlet-assisted cloud gaming system by further considering the mobility of terminal devices and the diversity of network quality for distinct players. With mathematical formulation, we study the players' behavior in cooperative sharing patterns and propose a reputation-based multiplayer fairness scheme in terms of frame encoding. Experimental results illustrate the impact of mobility on the system performance and evaluate that the proposed solution provides better fairness gaming ecosystem compared to the existing platform.","PeriodicalId":169858,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Smart Computing","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130131936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers have devoted to promoting safe walking for visually impaired people by using smartphones and computer vision. In this research we propose an alternative approach to achieve the same goal - we take advantage of the power of crowdsourcing with machine learning. Specifically, by using smartphones carried by a vast amount of visually normal people, we can collect the tri-axial accelerometer data along with the corresponding GPS coordinates in large geographic areas. Then, machine learning techniques are used to analyze the data, turning them into a special topographic map in which the regions of outdoor stairways are marked.

The user feature maybe affecting the QoE evaluations are analyzed and the client-side feature similarity between consumers and potential user is calculated. The transform mechanism from trust evaluations to ternary interval number is presented by employing the K-means clustering algorithm. On the basis of multi-attributes trust aggregation based On FAHP (fuzzy analytic hierarchy process) method, a new possibility degree formula is designed for ranking ternary interval numbers and selecting trustworthy service.

In this paper, we present a cloud form of a situation inference platform, INFerence-as-a-Service (INFaaS), which provides a core set of common functionality required to develop various context-aware apps. A key challenge in developing such platforms is to manage variability on inference algorithms and inference requirements by applications. INFaaS provides novel approaches to handle the variability by constructing generic models among various inference methods, providing flexible adaptation mechanisms, and defining generic interfaces for invoking various algorithms. The key benefit of INFaaS is a significant reduction of efforts to develop contexts repositories and context-aware applications.","PeriodicalId":169858,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Smart Computing","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128674193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a new implementation, using a special hash function namely simhash, is proposed to identify near-duplicate documents on CUDA enabled devices. Two mechanisms are designed to achieve higher performance, including swapping and dynamic allocating.

It usually performs well under the following assumptions. The first assumption is that each class has sufficient training samples. In other words, SRC is not good at dealing with the undersampled problem, i.e., each class has few training samples, even single sample. The second one is that the sample vectors belonging to different classes should not distribute on the same vector direction. However, the above two assumptions are not always satisfied in real-world problems. In this paper, we propose a novel SRC based algorithm, i.e., kernel sparse representation based classifier for undersampled problem (KSRC-UP) to perform classification. It does not need the above assumptions in principle. KSRC-UP can deal well with the small scale and high dimensional real world data sets. Experiments on the popular face databases show that our KSRC-UP method can perform better than other SRC methods.","PeriodicalId":169858,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Smart Computing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132546849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
