In previous CA-based multiple-SIS schemes, the resulting encrypted files are noise-like appearance images, which arises suspicion of observers when these are transmitted through a public network. To solve this problem, the LSB steganography is used to hide the encrypted noise-like images into camouflage images. To reduce execution time of the encoding and the decoding process of the SIS scheme, a parallel implementation based on CUDA technology is proposed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed parallel algorithm is more than 7 times faster than the conventional sequential algorithm. This reduction of temporal complexity and obtaining unnoticed shares allow the reliability of this scheme to be used in many information security fields such as the user-devices and cloud storage environments.","PeriodicalId":447065,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques (SoMeT)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125048441","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 paper presents the algorithmic software design against a background of an evaluation method for analysing decision situations under semi-strong uncertainty. The design is built on a relaxation of the requirement for precise utilities, probabilities, and weights. To handle this, the calculations involved become computationally intensive to match an interactive work flow and the approach required implementation of new algorithms. We describe some particularly interesting implementation aspects of these and show how these computations can be tractable.","PeriodicalId":447065,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques (SoMeT)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115086018","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}

Social approaches, as opposite to the mentalistic approaches, have received a considerable attention in the area of agent communication recently. They exploit observable social commitments to develop a verifiable formal semantics by which communication protocols can be specified. However, treating social commitments in stochastic systems is entirely missing in the literature. In this paper, we present a new logical language called Probabilistic Computation Tree Logic of Commitments, PCTLC for short, to specify and reason about social commitments in systems exhibiting uncertainty. The proposed modal logic extends PCTL with modalities for commitments and their fulfillments. We model MASs using two extended versions of interpreted systems to capture the probabilistic behavior of MASs, and account for the communication between the interacting agents.","PeriodicalId":447065,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 12th International Conference on Intelligent Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques (SoMeT)","volume":"9 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130441184","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}

Interruption consumes usable time for the current workflow by operating generated new task. The concerned workers of interrupted workflow must optimize workflow to improve consumed time of current tasks by changing engagement of assigned tasks.
