Many of today's mobile applications are programmed to rely on cloud services to augment the execution of sophisticated tasks with the assumption that the smartphone does not have enough computational resources to handle the tasks in time. However, the current application development model has several shortcomings. First, it can be difficult for a developer to decide how to partition a mobile application if the application workload cannot be known in advance and will be performed by a wide range of devices. Second, to get an application augmented, the application user is required to subscribe to a service, which causes additional efforts and privacy risks. Third, a mobile application that relies on the support of the server-side can suffer seriously from poor network connectivity. The work described in this paper enhances the current Android application framework to address the aforementioned shortcomings. First, we introduce the notion of personal application cloud (PAC), which is a unified service that the user can use to augment many applications without revealing personal data to the application vendors. Then, we provide an application programming interface and runtime support for the developers to create pervasive, scalable Android applications whose execution and data can be dynamically migrated and scaled to benefit from PAC. In addition to the design and implementation of the enhanced framework, latest experimental results are presented as well.","PeriodicalId":425979,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123222262","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}

Security and privacy are two important but somewhat contradictory objectives. On the one hand, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) authentication requires drivers to present some individual credentials. On the other hand, drivers need privacy protections on their identities, physical locations, and other contextual information. No sensitive information should be unnecessarily exposed during the authentication phase. Therefore, anonymous authentication is expected to play a critical role in VANET. In this paper, we propose a novel biometrics-based anonymous mutual authentication with provable link-layer location privacy preservation. During its authentication phase, two vehicles negotiate their temporary session key and generate two temporary MAC addresses. These two addresses, instead of the real ones, are used in all future communication frames. We further protect the biometric privacy with the help of a biometric encryption technique. Our analysis and simulation results show that the protocol is superior and lightweight with strong security and privacy protection.","PeriodicalId":425979,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123297930","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 number and names of the used DLLs and APIs are unique to each program. The proposed birthmark is based on these numbers and names. This information can be obtained from the Import Address Table (IAT), which is part of the PE file. By inspecting the proposed birthmark, we can identify certain software and detect pirated software. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed birthmark, we inspect and compare several applications of different kinds. The experimental results show that the proposed birthmark can identify Windows applications, leading to the prevention of an illegal distribution of copyrighted software.","PeriodicalId":425979,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115071460","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}

Therefore, network administrators have a strong tendency to manage user traffic from the viewpoint that the traffic has a similar size and characteristics. But, the emersion of big data begins to make data centers have to deal with 1015 byte-data transfer at once. Such a big data transfer can cause problems in network traffic management in the existed data center. And, the tiered network architecture of the legacy data center magnifies the magnitude of the problems. One of the well-known big data in science is from large hadron collider such as LHC in Swiss CERN. CERN LHC generates multi-peta byte data per year. From our experience of CERN data service, this paper showed the impact of network traffic affected by large-scale data stream using NS2 simulation, and then, suggested the evolution direction based on separating of large-scale data stream for the big data center's network architecture.","PeriodicalId":425979,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129862539","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 vibration-based structural health monitoring, structural features which are extracted from periodically spaced measurement using sensors are subject to variable environmental conditions. This paper proposes an environmental effect removal based structural health monitoring scheme in an IoT environment. Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to eliminate environment effects from sensor data which contain both real vibration feature of architectural structure and environmental interferences. After environmental effects removal, Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT) which is a classical method for signal analysis is used for structural health analysis and monitoring. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves high accuracy in structural health monitoring and robust performance against environmental interferences.","PeriodicalId":425979,"journal":{"name":"2013 Seventh International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131192663","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 this approach, the architecture change is implemented by applying the reconfiguration operations which performed through BGG transformation rules, and the style verification is statically checked through the style constraints productions.

An IoT-leveraged information system is the perfect choice for filling the existing gap in the services for a Future Supermarket. This paper describes work done by implementing a methodology to involve customers in the development of a web pilot that contributes to the support of the Food Awareness concept by linking product information with consumer preferences deriving into faster product selection and speeding up purchase process.
