The technological advances such as edge-centric computing have pushed the frontier of computing applications, data, and services away from the centralized nodes to the logical extremes of a network. It enables analytics and knowledge generation to occur at the source of the data. In this paper we present the amalgamation of three paradigms, each at different level of system development. Precept is a design paradigm for modeling complex control structures of the activities. It is a declaratively modeled control component that prohibits undesired couplings that are otherwise unavoidable in imperatively programmed control components. Crowdsourcing for system integration harnesses the collective intelligence or knowledge base of crowd's wisdom when given the right set of conditions. Here we discuss the aptness of crowdsourcing in the development of IoT-based systems that integrate the smart components from varied domains. We define a precept based software development framework that uses crowdsourcing to develop and to continuously extend a more sustainable and adaptive IoT-based system.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122402024","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 such a scenario, prediction API providers can leverage a Cloud provider's infrastructure to offer their inference service to the general public without having to worry about infrastructure acquisition and operation costs. Indeed, in the case of prediction APIs, self-hosting costs could be much higher than usual due to the fact that inference models, e.g., deep learning models, need specific hardware (e.g., graphical processing units) for an efficient execution. In such a context, trust is of great importance as the prediction API provider's most valuable asset, i.e., the inference model, is transferred to the Cloud provider. Thus, specific countermeasures should be designed to mitigate the possible attacks. In this paper, we analyze this scenario identifying the peculiar threat models. Then, we present a decentralized blockchain-based system, implemented on top of the popular Tendermint framework, that provides countermeasures to some of the main attacks. Numerical results, obtained executing deep neural network models, demonstrate that the overhead with respect to a centralized approach is negligible if compared with the advantages in terms of prevention of malicious behaviors.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127821499","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}

There has been a surge in the crime rate over the past couple of years. To reduce the offense rate, law enforcement needs to embrace innovative preventive technological measures. Accurate crime forecasts help to decrease the crime rate. However, predicting criminal activities is difficult due to the high complexity associated with modeling numerous intricate elements. In this work, we employ statistical analysis methods and machine learning models for predicting different types of crimes in New York City, based on 2018 crime datasets. We combine weather, and its temporal attributes like cloud cover, lighting and time of day to identify relevance to crime data. We note that weatherrelated attributes play a negligible role in crime forecasting. We have evaluated the various performance metrics of crime prediction, with and without the consideration of weather datasets, on different types of crime committed. Our proposed methodology will enable law enforcement to make effective decisions on appropriate resource allocation, including backup officers related to crime type and location.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121430076","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 recent years much progress has been achieved. One of the key remaining challenges is the availability of labeled training data, in particular taking into account the degree of variability in human activities. A possible solution is to leverage large scale online data repositories. This has been previously attempted with image and sound data, as both microphones and cameras are widely used sensing modalities. In this paper, we describe a first step towards the use of online, text-based activity descriptions to support general sensor-based activity recognition systems. The idea is to extract semantic information from online texts about the way complex activities are composed of simple ones that have to be performed (e.g. a manual for assembling a furniture piece) and use such a semantic description in conjunction with sensor based, statistical classifiers of basic actions to recognize the complex activities and compose them into semantic trees. Extraction of domain relevant information evaluated in 11 different text-based manuals from different domains reached an average recall of 77%, and precision of 88%. Actual structural error-rate in the construction of respective trees was around 1%.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127649267","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}

We investigate a scalable routing approach which not only generates effective routes for evacuees but also quickly updates routes as the disaster status and building conditions could change during the evacuation time. We first design a flexible and scalable evacuation system for large smart buildings with multiple levels of computational support. Given such a system, we develop a novel distributed algorithm for finding effective evacuation routes dynamically by using an LCDT (Length-Capacity-Density-Trustiness) weighted graph model, which is built upon the current disaster information and building conditions. Finally, we propose a caching strategy which expedites dynamic route generation with the current effective route part(s) in order to improve the performance of dynamic evacuation in large buildings. To validate our approach, we test the proposed algorithm with our implementation of an evacuation simulator and compare the results with other approaches. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms other ones in the aspect of the evacuation time reduction and the maximum number of people being evacuated in each time span.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"2017 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133115861","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 construct privacy-preserving anomaly detection systems on a smart grid, we adopt fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to protect users' sensitive data. Although FHE allows a third party to perform calculations on encrypted data without decryption, FHE only supports addition and multiplication on encrypted data. In anomaly detection, we must calculate both harmonic and arithmetic means consisting of logarithms. A naïve implementation of such arithmetic operations with FHE is a bitwise operation; thus, it requires huge computation time. To speed up such calculations, we propose an efficient protocol to evaluate any functions with FHE using a lookup table (LUT). Our protocol allows integer encoding, i.e., a set of integers is encrypted as a single ciphertext, rather than using bitwise encoding. Our experimental results in a multi-threaded environment show that the runtime of our protocol is approximately 51 s when the size of the LUT is 448,000. Our protocol is more practical than the previously proposed bitwise implementation.","PeriodicalId":253364,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114850453","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}
