Given this scenario, we propose MobVis, a framework to characterize mobility traces through different metrics, allowing comparisons between different mobility traces in a simplified way. Furthermore, MobVis can extract and visualize spatial, temporal, and social aspects of mobility data through a Web interface. MobVis architecture has five main components: input data; data preparation; data processing and analysis to extract mobility metrics; visualization; and a web interface. To demonstrate the framework's process, we created a use case analyzing the characteristics of two distinct traces (Taxi and IoT-Objects). Then, through different metrics, we evaluated the data in two aspects: i) descriptive, through a set of graphics and quantitative data that enables characterizing each trace; and ii) comparative, presenting the main differences between the traces.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127325576","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 theoretically formalize it as a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization model and propose a heuristic procedure to efficiently solve it.

To under-stand this, we focus on Twitter, and we analyze more than three million of Italian-written tweets posted from January 2020 to December 2021. We propose a method to identify opinion leaders and to analyze the content of the conversations. Results show that: (i) opinion leaders are linked to what they say and when they say it; (ii) politicians, newscast, and ordinary people accounts were able to become opinion leaders during the pandemic; (iii) conversations moved from a medical focus (at the beginning of the pandemic) to a social focus (in the last months of 2021); (iv) absence of health care institutions among opinion leaders. These results show that our approach might be useful for those who want to monitor the social scenario in terms of health (e.g., to identify as soon as possible accounts against or critical to medicine or to health authorities).","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127939413","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}

Firstly we design an attention mechanism to learn complex temporal and spatial correlations. Then we develop the stacked spatial-temporal convo-lution layer to model complex temporal and spatial correlations. Each spatial-temporal convolution layer is composed of a gated time convolution network and a graph convolution network. We develop a gated time convolution network to model non-linear temporal correlations, which process long sequences through stacked dilated convolution. Moreover, the graph convolution network exploits the hidden spatial correlations via learning self-adaptive adjacency matrix.

However, these ways exist plenty of security risks, which make people face password guessing attacks, trace attacks, and shoulder surfing attacks for a long time. Once the illegal users forge identity to complete authentication or bypass first login authentication, their subsequent behavior will become out of control. To solve the above problems, we propose an implicit continuous authentication model based on the touch behavior of the mobile terminal. The model uses the data collected by the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to generate feature vectors and extracts the feature vectors containing macroscopic features, microscopic features, and joint features. And we design a convolutional bidirectional recurrent neural network model to distinguish the sensor feature vectors. On this basis, we perform various experiments on a large dataset Hand Movement, Orientation, and Grasp (HMOG) with different sensor characteristics. Compared with the most advanced models proposed recently, the results show that our model achieves an equal error rate (EER) of 0.53%, which significantly improves authentication accuracy.","PeriodicalId":309606,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131506952","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}

Since the very first days of COVID-19 outbreak, people exchanged news, updates, sentiment and opinion about the pandemics. The paper describes a study aiming at evaluating the correlation of tweets with official COVID-19 data. Based on the outcomes of the correlation study, the paper proposes a forecasting model to predict the number of new daily COVID-19 cases. The approach is formulated as an autoregressive model that combines tweets and official COVID-19 data. A real-word dataset of tweets is used for the correlation study and to evaluate the performance of the forecasting model.

Fast convergence significantly reduces buffer occupancy, which in turn lessens the probability of triggering Priority-based Flow Control (PFC). Besides, the propagation delay becomes shorter with rapidly growing link speed, which correspondingly makes the queueing delay a major part of end-to-end latency. Fast convergence and low buffer occupancy become more essential for lowering queue delay and flow complete time. We present DQCC (Double-Q Congestion Control), a fast-converging congestion control scheme, which consists of two fundamental components: (i) an ECN-marking-ratio-based queue buffer occupancy estimating (QBOE) solution and (ii) a queue-building-rate driven rate adjustment (QDRA) mechanism to achieve fast convergence. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of DQCC, and the results show that DQCC greatly accelerates the convergence process.

As a fundamental generative model for time series data, Hidden Markov models (HMM) have been employed in various fields such as speech recognition and video analysis. In this paper, we propose the use of Bayesian HMMs with Dirichlet mixtures which are arrayed along patched frames with Dirichlet distributions as emission probability functions. These spatially-aligned HMMs evolve in parallel, significantly reducing inference time.
