Cloud computing is a hot topic in recent years. It exhibits the following key characteristics: agility, low cost in using, device and location independence, virtualization, reliability, scalability and elasticity, performance and etc. All those features show fascinating benefit to companies. As they can get free from the worry about the investment on hardware and can […]
The Rapid Development Of Online Reputation Systems
Online reputation systems are playing increasingly important roles in influencing people’s online purchasing/downloading decisions. The manipulations against such systems which overly inflate or deflate reputation scores of online items are evolving rapidly. For example, for just $9.99, a video on YouTube could receive 30 “I like” ratings or 30 real user comments provided by “IncreaseYouTubeViews.com”. […]
A Non-Parametric Patch Sampling Method
The proposed method is composed of two main and sequential operations. The first one is a non-parametric patch sampling method used to fill-in missing regions. Rather than filling in missing regions at the original resolution, the inpainting algorithm is applied on a coarse version of the input picture. There are several reasons for performing the […]
A sufficient High obfuscation level
It is essential to detect inconsistencies or failures early. In manufacturing and logistic processes, items are tracked continuously to detect loss or to reroute them during transport. To answer this need complex event processing (CEP) systems have evolved as a key paradigm for business and industrial applications. CEP systems allow to detect situations by performing […]
The technique for Fuzzy Grid Prediction
This paper is motivated by our interest in a localization technique for a mobile sensor network, deployed in a harsh environment and a set of interesting/surprising results obtained from simulations of two state-of-the-art localization techniques for mobile sensor networks, namely MCL and MSL. Range-based localization methods require an estimate of the distance or angle between […]
PACKET-BY-PACKET ADAPTIVE ROUTING AND SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR NETWORKS
They present our adaptive routing and scheduling algorithm. Packet-by-Packet Adaptive Routing for Networks—PARN for ease for repeated reference later. A introduce the queue structure that is used in PARN. The back-pressure algorithm introduced in has been widely studied in the literature. While the ideas behind scheduling using the weights suggested in that paper have been […]
Amazon’s Cloud Formation upcoming the meta cloud for TOSCA specification
The cloud computing paradigm has achieved widespread adoption in recent years. Its success is due largely to customers’ ability to use services on demand with a pay-as-you go pricing model, which has proved convenient in many respects. Low costs and high flexibility make migrating to the cloud compelling. Despite its obvious advantages, however, many companies […]
