With the development of digital technology, massive amounts of smart devices in use around the world can collect sound data. Auditory spatial scenes, a spatial environment to understand and distinguish sound, are important to be detected by analyzing sounds collected via those devices. Given limited annotated auditory spatial samples, the current best-performing model can predict an auditory scene with an accuracy of 73%. We propose a novel yet simple Sliding Window based Convolutional Neural Network, SlideCNN, without manually designing features. SlideCNN leverages windowing operation to increase samples for limited annotation problems and improves the prediction accuracy by over 12% compared to the current best-performing models. It can detect real-life indoor and outdoor scenes with a 85% accuracy. The results will enhance practical applications of ML to analyze auditory scenes with limited annotated samples. It will further improve the recognition of environments that may potentially influence the safety of people, especially people with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131387202","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}

Nevertheless, the cloud server is untrusted and it may capture or infer the sensitive information, such as medical or financial records, which necessitate them to be encrypted before being outsourced for privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a secure KNN set similarity search in outsourced cloud environments by Yao's garbled circuits which can preserve the data privacy for both data owner and the user. To support this framework, we design a novel unified structure, called secure R-tree circuit index, and propose a scheme to achieve completely secret grouping in garbled circuits. Based on the above, we design a series of secure arithmetic sub-protocols to facilitate KNN set similarity query process efficiently. Finally, the formal security analysis and complexity analysis are theoretically proven and the performance and feasibility of our proposed approaches are empirically evaluated and demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124925624","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}

But an adversary could use a circuit fingerprinting attack to classify circuit types and discover the network address of the onion service. Recently, Tor has used padding defenses to inject dummy cells to protect against circuit fingerprinting attacks. But we found that circuits still expose much information to the adversary. In this paper, we present a novel circuit fingerprinting attack, which divides the circuit into the circuit generated by the client and the circuit generated by the onion service. To get a more effective attack, we tried three state-of-the-art classification models called SVM, Random Forest and XG-Boost, respectively. As the best performance, we attain 99.99 % precision and 99.99% recall when using Random Forest and X G Boost classification models, respectively. And we also tried to classify circuit types using our features and the classification model mentioned above, which was first proposed by Kwon. The best performance was achieved with 99.99% precision and 99.99% recall when using the random forest classifier in circuit type classification. The experimental results show that we achieved highly accurate circuit fingerprinting attacks even when application-layer traffic is identical and some type of circuits using the defenses provided by Tor.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115960686","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}

While algorithm-level techniques exist to reduce NN memory footprints, the resultant losses in NN accuracy and generality disqualify MCUs for many important use cases. To address the constraint, we investigate out-of-core execution of NNs on MCUs: dynam-ically swapping NN data tiles between an MCU's small SRAM and its large, low-cost external flash. Accordingly, we present a scheduler design that automatically schedules compute tasks and swapping IO tasks in order to minimize the IO overhead in swapping. Out-of-core NNs on MCUs raise multiple concerns: execution slowdown, storage wear out, energy consumption, and data security. Our empirical study shows that none of these concerns is a showstopper; the key benefit - MCUs being able to run large NNs with full accuracy/generality - trumps the overheads. Our findings suggest that MCUs can play a much greater role in edge intelligence.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125838125","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}

However, since edge resources are constrained, they can become saturated and bottlenecked due to increased load, resulting in an exponential increase in response times or failures. In this paper, we argue that an application can be split between the edge and the cloud, allowing for better performance compared to full migration to the cloud, releasing precious resources at the edge. We model an application's internal call-Graph as a Directed-Acyclic-Graph. We use this model to develop MicroSplit, a tool for efficient splitting of microservices between constrained edge resources and large-scale distant backend clouds. MicroSplit analyzes the dependencies between the microservices of an application, and using the Louvain method for community detection-a popular algorithm from Network Science-decides how to split the microservices between the constrained edge and distant data centers. We test MicroSplit with four microservice based applications in various realistic cloud-edge settings. Our results show that Microsplit migrates up to 60 % of the microservices of an application with a slight increase in the mean-response time compared to running on the edge, and a latency reduction of up to 800 % compared to migrating the entire application to the cloud. Compared to other methods from the State-of-the-Art, MicroSplit reduces the total number of services on the edge by up to five times, with minimal reduction in response times.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132912065","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}

Towards higher energy efficiency, we propose an extreme design of edge servers - SoC-Cluster that consists of massive, inter-connected ARM SoCs. Indeed, such SoC-Clusters have already been adopted to serve the cloud gaming application in the wild. In this paper, we present a concrete implementation of a COTS SoC-Cluster and its hardware specifications. We then discuss the potential killer applications that such SoC-Cluster can well serve and the major challenges to be solved. We also dive deep into two of such applications (live video transcoding and deep learning serving) and carry out a measurement study to demystify the application performance of SoC-Cluster. The results reveal that, compared to traditional servers, SoC-Cluster not only can reduce energy consumption but even deliver higher workload throughput in certain scenarios.

This share is expected to increase even more drastically in the coming years. While the cellular infrastructure is continuously evolving to keep pace with this increasing demand, it is necessary to ensure that sufficient bandwidth is reserved for other latency-sensitive realtime applications like video conferencing and multiplayer video games. A tangible approach involves reducing on-demand video load on cellular networks, especially from users on the move. We see an opportunity for cellular load reduction using edge nodes based on two observations: (1) video streaming is mostly a download-only operation with sequential data access; and (2) short-range mmWave links can deliver an extremely high throughput for nearby recipients of data. The knowledge of the user's planned travel route creates opportunities for prescient prefetching and delivering the content as the vehicle passes through just in time, using mmWave devices on en route edge nodes. ClairvoyantEdge is a novel networked system infrastructure that leverages inter-edge node communication and the knowledge of users' trajectories to plan and deliver buffered video segments to the vehicles passing by. To evaluate ClairvoyantEdge, we built a comprehensive end-to-end emulation-based workflow that incorporates in situ field measurements of mmWave links into our own homegrown emulation framework. With a minuscule 0.12% coverage of a 46km2 geographical area employing 20 edge nodes distributed in that area providing short-range mmWave access to passing vehicles, we achieve an average reduction of up to 21% in cellular bandwidth usage for video downloads, using a real-world workload comprising 758 vehicles. Our results validate the promise of ClairvoyantEdge for incorporation in future edge infrastructure evolution.","PeriodicalId":364062,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 7th Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121055199","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}
