In fact we consider the more general situation, when there is a family of dynamical groups instead of one group. We were able to handle this more general situation by joining the secret sharing idea together with the certification system device that enabled the system to distinguish the members of distinct groups of the family. The system proposed here is provably secure. The security is proved in the random oracle model, provided the number of corrupted players in the family of groups satisfies the suitable estimates and the \"chosen target CDH problem\" is computationally hard.","PeriodicalId":254368,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN 2007)","volume":"11 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115818113","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}

Unfortunately, real world data is never as perfect as we would like it to be and can often suffered from corruptions. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to identify and correct mislabeled training instances. For a given instance, we employ a Bayesian classifier to evaluate the probabilities of the instance belonging to all considered class labels. Then information entropy calculated from the probability distributions is used to evaluate the typicality of the instance belonging to considered class labels. Finally, the instance with low entropy, but with error prediction result, would be identified as mislabeled instance. Experimental results indicate that our approach gains comparative or better performance than previous techniques.","PeriodicalId":254368,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN 2007)","volume":"2021 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121070180","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}

This paper proposes a collaborative peer-to-peer (P2P) training and classifying method with support vector machine (SVM) for WSN. The proposed method incrementally carries out the training process with the collaboration of sensor nodes in P2P paradigm. For decreasing energy consumption and improving accuracy, the collaboration of sensor nodes is implemented by autonomously selecting the proper set of sensor nodes to carry out the training process according to several feasible measures of energy consumption and information utility. Because of the purposeful sensor nodes selection, dynamic collaborative SVM can conquer the inevitable missing rate and false rate of samples in WSN. Results demonstrate that the proposed dynamic collaborative SVM can effectively implement target classification in WSN. It is also verified that the proposed dynamic collaborative SVM has outstanding performance in energy efficiency and time delay.","PeriodicalId":254368,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN 2007)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115045552","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}

This was confirmed through simulations, where a comparison between our proposed solutions and standard forwarding showed up to 50% reduction in packet loss.","PeriodicalId":254368,"journal":{"name":"Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN 2007)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116462119","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}
