The proposed cloudlet-based dictionary solution uses a system design where a nearby computer is used as a \"cloudlet\" to relieve the mobile device of most of the computational load. It does not require the type of expensive hardware and connectivity needed for classical cloud-based solutions. Our prototype application supports six languages for translation, but the framework, and the vocabularies used, are easily extensible and configurable. A user of our system can input a word in one language by typing or utterance, and get the corresponding word in the desired language. Our work does not require continuous internet connectivity and is not affected by WAN latency. With continuous connectivity being a luxury, this solution can be used to provide language translation in scenarios with limited Internet connectivity or bandwidth, and also in specialized and smaller settings where the complexity and expense of a standard cloud deployment is not feasible.","PeriodicalId":382519,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Services in Emerging Markets","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116819200","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}

{"title":"UNNOTI: Toolkit for Rural Service Modeling","authors":"D. Deb, N. Chaki, A. Ghose","doi":"10.1109/ICSEM.2012.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSEM.2012.23","url":null,"abstract":"Services science aims towards suggesting methodological and tool support for managing services for various application scenarios. In this paper, it is demonstrated that the services science vision can be realized by using formal modeling and analysis techniques for the design of functionality of any kind, irrespective of the context whether such functionality is delivered on computing platforms or by humans. The service management problem is discussed in rather an unusual context of rural service management in developing nations. This choice of domain is motivated by two factors. The fact that such a domain is rarely referred in existing literature, it presents greater modeling and analysis challenges. The success of the proposed methodology in such context would pave the way towards applying the same to any other services setting. Besides, success in this domain can have significant social impact. Three specific results are documented in this paper. First, it is demonstrated how rural service architectures can be effectively modeled. Second, it is proposed how a QoS monitoring infrastructure might be devised for this domain (addressing special challenges, such as the need to reliably estimate component measures from more aggregated measures). Lastly, it is discussed how sophisticated QoS monitoring (leveraging techniques from complex event processing) can be used to trigger, and constrain, service redesign, leading to an integrated service design life-cycle. In addition this paper introduces UNNOTI, a simple and effective online form based toolkit for Service modeling, QoS monitoring, and service redesign which manages a repository of service designs, and the custom-designed functionality for QoS monitoring and estimation, as well as service proximity analysis, the tool uses the Prover9 first-order logic theorem prover for performing the goal realization test that is required for service redesign. The toolkit developed for modeling agricultural procurement services and can be applicable to model other rural services. The toolkit is developed using JSP and MYSQL in Windows environment.","PeriodicalId":382519,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Services in Emerging Markets","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125739017","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}

The network evolution is of major interest to researchers in this area due to discovering patterns of structural changes in the network. In this study, the evolution of UK directors' social network is examined. The study carried out on a systematic analysis of network properties and evolution factors. The network properties include shortest path, number of shared affiliations, cyclic closure and triadic closure property. It is observed that directors who are not connected directly in specific year and have only a single intermediary between them are more likely to form a connection in the future than the directors with two intermediaries. Moreover, the number of mutual friends increases the chances of a connection between the directors in future.","PeriodicalId":382519,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Services in Emerging Markets","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114586502","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}

Asadullah","doi":"10.1109/ICSEM.2012.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSEM.2012.8","url":null,"abstract":"Access to cloud storage devices and services (IaaS or RaaS) are getting popular because of their anytime-anywhere flexibility and low cost. Cloud storage enables networked online storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage units. These units are usually managed by third parties. It is being used for the purpose of storing music files, presentations, statements, bills and other important documents. Organizations like Google, Amazon, Rackspace, and Dropbox are providing on-cloud storage. Besides organizations this service is gaining popularity among end-users too. Typically a user scans his important documents and store at the subscribed space. Later these documents can be accessed using an internet browser. Since user manages his own documents, there are chances that certain important documents are missed out. Hence we need an automatic storage system which can save these bills and invoices at the targeted location as soon as they are generated. In this article we are presenting the simplified model along with the improved process flow chart and architecture details. The proposed system would reduce the chances of missed documents and unnecessary troubles of scanning them. Additionally whenever required the user can provide the access code of the particular bill to the concerned authority for any verifications and approvals. This would also help to save the printing and paper cost for the retailer as well as for the user, further contributing towards the environment and sustainability. Using the proposed system the user can simply point to that URL and hence he/she need not print the bliss. This would also prevent the production of frauds and forged bills.","PeriodicalId":382519,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Services in Emerging Markets","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125966842","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}

Apart from attracting millions of users, the popularity of social networking communities has also attracted spammers who can abuse and misuse the rich information in these sites using sophisticated attack techniques. In this paper we have described four popular modern techniques used by attackers to spam social networking sites: clickjacking [1], malicious browser extensions via drive-by-downloads [2], URL shorteners [3] and socially engineered script injection [4]. We have analyzed click-jacking and malicious browser extensions in detail, evaluating existing solutions to detect/prevent them. We observed that the existing solutions for clickjacking fail in some common use case scenarios. Therefore, we proposed enhancements that help detecting clickjacking attacks in those failed scenarios. We also proposed a declarative security policy to prevent malicious browser extension attacks. We implemented chrome extensions to validate both of our proposals in a test bed social network, which we have setup using an open source social networking engine. We believe our proposals are helpful to strengthen the security of social networks in general and the Web platform as a whole.","PeriodicalId":382519,"journal":{"name":"2012 Third International Conference on Services in Emerging Markets","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131265370","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}
