With IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) networks coming in to reality a new gaming experience can be provided to the subscribers by blending the gaming service with IMS service enablers such as presence, location etc. An intelligent service broker element like Service Capability Interaction Manager (SCIM) can deliver such blended services to the end users. Efficient charging of these services is very important and a real challenge since most of the interactive mobile gaming servers may not support standard 3GPP defined offline or online charging interfaces. Thus integrating these gaming servers requires lot of customization which may delay in rolling out new blended gaming services. Furthermore we propose a novel idea to charge such blended gaming services offline that are delivered through SCIM. We also propose a new offline charging interface Cf between SCIM and gaming application servers that enable exchange of charging information for the blended gaming service. We also discuss a typical IMS use case and its implementation details with a detailed call flow.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115566496","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}

Lists are connected implicitly by virtue of sharing common users, and the users are also connected implicitly by being added to the same lists. We focus on the evolution of these implicit networks in Twitter with users and their lists, and attempt to understand how triadic closures occur among users via lists. Using a dataset collected over a period of 6 months we show that closures exhibit many different patterns. We also analyze the pattern of dissolution of connections and show that it is closely related to the nature of the triadic structures and the roles of the nodes in the information sharing network.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127385000","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 present a subcarrier and power allocation method in underlay femto-cell network while keeping the total interference to macro-cell users under acceptable levels. We maximize the multiple femto-cell users throughput by jointly allocating subcarriers to users within a femto-cell, and also power allocation, under the constraints of cross-tier interference between macro-cell and multiple femto-cells as well as interference among femto-cells. Then, based on this subcarrier and power allocation the performance of the two-tier network is analysed with capacity as the performance metric.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126029851","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 ultimate goal of this separation is to facilitate the task of traffic auditing tools, namely in their struggle against botnets. The architecture was designed for domestic or enterprise facilities and uses the 802. IX authentication architecture as the base support infrastructure for dealing with unequivocal traffic binding to specific entities (persons or servers). Simultaneously, such binding uses virtual identities and encryption for preserving the privacy and protection of traffic originators from network eavesdroppers other than authorized traffic auditors. The traffic from each known originator is profiled with some detail, namely it includes a role tag and an application tag. Role tags are defined by originators and only partially follow a standard policy. On the contrary, application tags should follow a standard policy in order to reason about abnormal scenarios raised when correlating traffic from several instances of the same application. A first prototype was developed for Linux, using iptables and FreeRADIUS and conveying packet tagging information on a new IP option field.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130558579","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 OIA scheme does not need the global channel state information (CSI). It corresponds to an uplink scenario in a cellular network with multiple base stations consisting of M receive antennas per basestation, and multiple users with N transmit antennas per user. In the OIA scheme, each base station (BS) opportunistically selects users who generate least interference to other BSs. In addition each admitted user should achieve a pre-defined target data rate, otherwise this user will not be selected by the corresponding BS. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides significant improvement in terms of interference mitigation while maintaining a predefined quality of service (QoS) for each admitted users.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121115561","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 proposed system uses combination of front end de-correlation and modified NLMS adaptation. This is to ensure faster howling detection and very robust performance under different types of input signals and at different power levels. The proposed leakage factor introduced during adaptation, ensures stability of operation even when howling build-up frequency is oscillating in the neighbourhood bands. The performance test results obtained with the proposed system demonstrates quick detection and stable operation when compared to the recent techniques.

On one side, sharing of monitoring data across domains may significantly help in detecting large scale threats and attacks; on the other side, data sharing conflicts with the need to protect network customers' privacy and confidentiality of business and operational information. The approach first proposed in this paper enables what we call “conditional data sharing”, i.e., permit cross-domain sharing of fine-grained organized subsets of network security data (called monitoring data feeds), only when a threshold number of domains are ready to reveal their data for the same feed. The proposed approach revolves on a careful combination of distributed threshold based cryptography with identity-based encryption. It appears scalable and easy to deploy, not requiring neither a-priori monitoring data feeds identification, nor explicit coordination among domains. Protection is accomplished by “simply” using different cryptographic keys per feed, and automatically permitting per-feed key reconstruction upon the occurrence of independent and asynchronous per-domain/per-feed alerts.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130020636","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}

A possible way to alleviate these problems and improve the annotation quality is to obtain multiple annotations per image by assigning several annotators into the task. In the current work we present an approach to model the view of several annotators using four MPEG-7 descriptors and a well known data classifier. We apply keywords modelling to the annotation data collected in the framework of Commandaria project where sixteen non-expert users annotated a set of a hundred images using a predefined set of keywords. The images sharing a common keyword are grouped together and used for the creation of the visual model corresponds to this keyword. Finally, the created models used to classify the images into the keyword classes in terms of 2-classes combinations using the 10-fold cross-validation technique. The experimental results are examined under two perspectives: First, in terms of the separation ability of the various keyword classes and second, in terms of the efficiency of the four visual descriptors as far as the image classification task is concerned.","PeriodicalId":445751,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 5th International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application","volume":"13 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114542134","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 directional information features and the centre area features on LL sub bands are computed. The final feature vector set is formed by concatenating directional information features and centre area features.
