Recently sparse representation based classifier (SRC) has been widely applied to robust face recognition by using sparse representation residuals to tolerate disturbed image features (e.g., occluded pixels). In order to deal with more complicated image variations, robust representation based classifier, which estimates feature weights (e.g., low weight values are given to the pixels with big representation residuals), has attracted much attention in recent work. Although these methods have achieved improved performance by estimating feature weights independently, structured information and prior knowledge of image features are ignored in these works, resulting in unsatisfactory performance in some challenging cases. Thus how to better learn image feature weight to fully exploit structure information and prior knowledge is still an open question in robust face recognition. In this paper, we proposed a novel joint representation and pattern learning (JRPL) model, in which the feature pattern weight is simultaneously learned with the representation of query image. Especially a feature pattern dictionary, which captures structured information and prior knowledge of image features, are constructed to represent the unknown feature pattern weight of a query image. An efficient algorithm to solve JRPL was also presented in this paper. The experiments of face recognition with various variations and occlusions on several benchmark datasets clearly show the advantage of the proposed JRPL in accuracy and efficiency.

In the design evaluation process, one of the basic problems is the efficient segmentation for textile fabric images. This is equivalent to partitioning the images into several meaningful regions that often correspond to units of design patterns, repeats, woven yarn or fibres. The main challenge in this problem is identifying robustly the boundaries of various components of fabric materials. In this paper, we propose a novel model to solve the problem. The model is established on the analysis of the characteristic of textile/fabric images. The main contributions of the model are: (1) a cartoon-and-texture decomposition process is incorporated into the model, which can reduce the influence of the random texture noise on the segmentation process; (2) to overcome the drawback of the lightness inconsistency for the segmentation process, a bias field function is introduced to measure the deviation degree between the cartoon image and the piecewise constant approximation of the cartoon image. Then, the regions of textile images can be more accurately estimated; (3) following the advantages of the fuzzy region competition based image segmentation models, we also use the fuzzy membership functions (FMFs) to indicate the regions of images. However, to restrain the FMFs from degeneration, a new penalty term on the FMFs is introduced in our model. In addition, by using the augmented Lagrange multiplier method and the Chambolle's dual projection method, we derive an efficient algorithm to solve the model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can generate better segmentation results for textile images than classical FMF based models. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

More information will be provided if 3D fingerprint images are available compared with 2D fingerprints. This paper explores 3D fingerprint features, as well as their possible applications. Novel fingerprint features, which are defined as Curvature Features (e.g. curve-skeleton, overall maximum curvatures), are for the first time proposed and investigated in this paper. Those features are then employed to assist more accurate fingerprint matching or classify human gender after analyzing their characteristics. A series of experiments are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of employing these novel fingerprint features to fingerprint recognition based on the established database with 541 fingers. Results show that an Equal error Rate (EER) of similar to 15% can be achieved when only curve-skeleton is used for recognition. But, promising EER of similar to 3.4% is realized by combining curve-skeleton with classical 2D fingerprint features for recognition that indicates the prospect of 3D fingerprint recognition. The proposed overall maximum curvatures are found to be helpful for human gender classification. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Many query recommendation algorithms have been proposed, but they all aim to recommend similar queries and cannot guarantee the usefulness of the recommended queries. In this paper, we argue that it is more important to recommend high-utility queries, i.e., queries that would induce users to search for more useful information. For this purpose, we propose a query-recommending model to rank candidate queries according to their utilities and to recommend those that are useful to users. The query-recommending model ranks a candidate query by assessing the joint probability that the query is selected by the user, that the obtained search results are subsequently clicked by the user, and that the clicked search results ultimately satisfy the user's information need. Three utilities were defined to solve the model: query-level utility, representing the attractiveness of a query to the user; perceived utility, measuring the user's probability of clicking on the search results; and posterior utility, measuring the useful information obtained by the user from the clicked search results. The methods that were used to compute these three utilities from the query log data are presented. The experimental results that were obtained by using real query log data demonstrated that the proposed query-recommending model outperformed six other baseline methods in generating more useful recommendations.

However, LSR-based methods ignore the local geometry structure of the data and the transformation matrix is not sparse or robust. In this paper, a novel linear regression (LR) framework is proposed for image classification. Two concrete algorithms are proposed under the framework, which are named manifold discriminant regression learning (MDRL) and robust manifold discriminant regression learning (RMDRL). MDRL introduces different norms for different purposes in the learning steps. MDRL introduces a within-class graph and between-class graph to compute an optimal subspace that can separate data points belonging to different class as far as possible and keep the data points from the same class closely. MDRL joints different norms constraints to generate sparse projections for feature extraction and classification. To enhance the robustness of discriminative LSR (DLSR), RMDRL uses the nuclear norm as a regularization term to learn a robust projection matrix. Extensive experiments are conducted on many databases to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods and the states-of-the-art algorithms. The experimental results indicate that our proposed methods outperform the related algorithms. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

When solving some complex MOPs, it is quite difficult to locate the entire Pareto-optimal front. To better settle this problem, a novel double-module immune algorithm named DMMO is presented, where two evolutionary modules are embedded to simultaneously improve the convergence speed and population diversity. The first module is designed to optimize each objective independently by using a sub-population composed with the competitive individuals in this objective. Differential evolution crossover is performed here to enhance the corresponding objective. The second one follows the traditional procedures of immune algorithm, where proportional cloning, recombination and hyper-mutation operators are operated to concurrently strengthen the multiple objectives. The performance of DMMO is validated by 16 benchmark problems, and further compared with several multi-objective algorithms, such as NSGA-II, SPEA2, SMSEMOA, MOEA/D, SMPSO, NNIA and MIMO. Experimental studies indicate that DMMO performs better than the compared targets on most of test problems and the advantages of double modules in DMMO are also analyzed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

In ADE-MOIA, in order to effectively cooperate DE with MOIA, we present a novel adaptive DE operator, which includes a suitable parent selection strategy and a novel adaptive parameter control approach. When performing DE operation, two parents are respectively picked from the current evolved and dominated population in order to provide a correct evolutionary direction. Moreover, based on the evolutionary progress and the success rate of offspring, the crossover rate and scaling factor in DE operator are adaptively varied for each individual. The proposed adaptive DE operator is able to improve both of the convergence speed and population diversity, which are validated by the experimental studies. When comparing ADE-MOIA with several nature-inspired heuristic algorithms, such as NSGA-II, SPEA2, AbYSS, MOEA/D-DE, MIMO and (DMOPSO)-M-2, simulations show that ADE-MOIA performs better on most of 21 well-known benchmark problems.

The diversity control strategy is developed to construct the memeplexes of the HSFLA and avoid ending the search prematurely. The modified clone selection procedure is presented to improve the quality of the solutions and bring more diversity to the population. Improved and extended extremal optimization (EO) with alternative move operators is also introduced to the exploitation of the algorithm. Furthermore, the adaptive soft time windows penalty measure is proposed to allow the existence of infeasible solutions in the evolution process. Our approach is estimated and compared with other state-of-the-art heuristics using Solomon and Cordeau VRPTW test sets. The experimental results show that the presented algorithm is very effective for handling VRPTW. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

In this paper, we present a learning-based approach to locate the fetal abdominal standard plane (FASP) in US videos by constructing a domain transferred deep convolutional neural network (CNN). Compared with previous works based on low-level features, our approach is able to represent the complicated appearance of the FASP and hence achieve better classification performance. More importantly, in order to reduce the overfitting problem caused by the small amount of training samples, we propose a transfer learning strategy, which transfers the knowledge in the low layers of a base CNN trained from a large database of natural images to our task-specific CNN. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art method for the FASP localization as well as the CNN only trained on the limited US training samples. The proposed approach can be easily extended to other similar medical image computing problems, which often suffer from the insufficient training samples when exploiting the deep CNN to represent high-level features. 地址: [Chen, Hao; Heng, Pheng Ann] Chinese Univ Hong Kong, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

Recently, Huang et al. (IEEE Trans Inf Forensics Security 5(4):848-856, 2010) first pointed out that the number of different discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients would monotonically decrease when repeatedly compressing a JPEG image with the same quantization matrix, and a strategy based on random permutation was developed to expose such an operation successfully. In this paper, we propose an anti-forensic method to fool this method. The proposed method tries to slightly modify the DCT coefficients for confusing the traces introduced by double JPEG compression with the same quantization matrix. By investigating the relationship between the DCT coefficients of the first compression and those of the second one, we determine the quantity of modification by constructing a linear model. Furthermore, in order to improve the security of anti-forensics, the locations of modification are adaptively selected according to the complexity of the image texture. The extensive experiments evaluated on 10,000 natural images have shown that the proposed method can effectively confuse the detector proposed in Huang et al. (IEEE Trans Inf Forensics Security 5(4):848-856, 2010), while keeping higher visual quality and leaving fewer other detectable statistical artifacts. 地址: [Li, Haodong] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Guangzhou 510006, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Traditionally, item scores are estimated by averaging all the ratings with equal weights. To improve the accuracy of estimated item scores, user reputation [a.k.a., user reputation (UR)] is incorporated. The existing algorithms on UR, however, have underplayed the role of topics in rating systems. In this paper, we first reveal that UR is topic-biased from our empirical investigation. However, existing algorithms cannot capture this characteristic in rating systems. To address this issue, we propose a topic-biased model (TBM) to estimate UR in terms of different topics as well as item scores. With TBM, we develop six topic-biased algorithms, which are subsequently evaluated with experiments using both real-world and synthetic data sets. Results of the experiments demonstrate that the topic-biased algorithms effectively estimate UR across different topics and produce more robust item scores than previous reputation-based algorithms, leading to potentially more robust rating systems. 地址: [Li, Baichuan] Baidu, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

However, an important problem setting, i.e., "a user examined several items but only rated a few", has not received much attention yet. We coin this problem heterogeneous collaborative recommendation (HCR) from the perspective of users' heterogeneous feedbacks of implicit examinations and explicit ratings. In order to fully exploit such different types of feedbacks, we propose a novel and generic solution called compressed knowledge transfer via factorization machine (CKT-FM). Specifically, we assume that the compressed knowledge of user homophily and item correlation, i.e., user groups and item sets behind two types of feedbacks, are similar and then design a two-step transfer learning solution including compressed knowledge mining and integration. Our solution is able to transfer high quality knowledge via noise reduction, to model rich pairwise interactions among individual-level and cluster-level entities, and to adapt the potential inconsistent knowledge from implicit feedbacks to explicit feedbacks. Furthermore, the analysis on time complexity and space complexity shows that our solution is much more efficient than the state-of-the-art method for heterogeneous feedbacks. Extensive empirical studies on two large data sets show that our solution is significantly better than the state-of-the-art non-transfer learning method w.r.t. recommendation accuracy, and is much more efficient than that of leveraging the raw implicit examinations directly instead of compressed knowledge w.r.t. CPU time and memory usage. Hence, our CKT-FM strikes a good balance between effectiveness and efficiency of knowledge transfer in HCR. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

In such an approach, mutual embedding impacts are often ignored. In this paper, we present an approach that can exploit the interactions among embedding changes in order to reduce the risk of detection by steganalysis. It employs a novel strategy, called clustering modification directions (CMDs), based on the assumption that when embedding modifications in heavily textured regions are locally heading toward the same direction, the steganographic security might be improved. To implement the strategy, a cover image is decomposed into several subimages, in which message segments are embedded with well-known schemes using additive distortion functions. The costs of pixels are updated dynamically to take mutual embedding impacts into account. Specifically, when neighboring pixels are changed toward a positive/negative direction, the cost of the considered pixel is biased toward the same direction. Experimental results show that our proposed CMD strategy, incorporated into existing steganographic schemes, can effectively overcome the challenges posed by the modern steganalyzers with high-dimensional features. 地址: [Li, Bin; Wang, Ming; Huang, Jiwu] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

An efficient and dependable smart power grid relies on the secure and reliable real-time data collection and transmission service provided by an underlying backbone communication network. Cognitive radio network is an emerging wireless communication technology that fits communication needs in smart grid. However, the cognitive radio is vulnerable to jamming attacks that can disturb the real time communication. The loss of the timely information from the remotely distributedly deployed sensors can cause the loss of control of the system. In this paper, we focus on the availability of the communication services provided by the cognitive radio nodes deployed over the smart grid. We consider the jamming attacks to this wireless network. We propose to defeat the jamming attacks by introducing the combined online optimization and linear programming to the smart grid to enable the system to heal automatically from the jamming attack. 地址: [Niu, Jianwei] Beihang Univ, State Key Lab Software Dev Environm, Beijing 100191, Peoples R China.

J.); Chiu, DM (Chiu, Dah Ming) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: We consider a peer-to-peer (P2P)-assisted video-on-demand (VoD) system where each peer can store a relatively small number of movies to offload the server when these movies are requested. User requests are stochastic based on some movie popularity distribution. The problem is how to replicate (or place) content at peer storage to minimize the server load. Several variations of this replication problem have been studied recently with somewhat different conclusions. In this paper, we first point out and explain that the main difference between these studies is in how they model the scheduling of peers to serve user requests, and show that these different scheduling assumptions will lead to different "optimal" replication strategies. We then propose a unifying request scheduling model, parameterized by the maximum number of peers that can be used to serve a single request. This scheduling is called Fair Sharing with Bounded Degree (FSBD). Based on this unifying model, we can compare the different replication strategies for different degree bounds and see how and why different replication strategies are favored depending on the degree. We also propose a simple (primarily) distributed replication algorithm and show that this algorithm is able to adapt itself to work well for different degrees in scheduling. 地址: [Zhou, Yipeng] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518000, Peoples R China.

This paper presents a novel, simple, yet powerful method for rotation-invariant color texture classification. Firstly, we define a Distance-based Local Binary Pattern (DLBP) descriptor to characterize the color texture. By learning the joint distribution of the rotation-invariant DLBP and color intensity information, we define our Multiple Sub-DLBPs (MS_DLBP) descriptor. The MS_DLBP features defined in this paper are invariant to rotation. Here, we also compared seven important color spaces in terms of their effectiveness in our proposed MS_DLBP approach. The experimental results on the Outex and CUReT databases show the defined DLBP descriptor performs better than the existing color LBP descriptors and the proposed MS_DLBP approach is very robust to rotation invariance and outperforms state-of-the-art texture analysis methods. Also, HSV color space is shown to outperform the other color spaces in many cases. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Firstly, image background segmentation is performed and the principal gray-scale values in the segmented background are identified. By excluding the corresponding histogram bins from being expanded for data hiding, the contrast of region of interest (ROI) in medical images can be selectively enhanced. Considering the characteristics of pixel distribution, we develop a new pre-processing strategy to reduce the visual distortions that may be caused. With the proposed method, an original image can be exactly recovered from the corresponding enhanced image by hiding the side information within it. The experimental results on a set of medical images show that the visibility of ROI can be improved. Compared with the previous method, the proposed method can achieve more contrast enhancement effects and better visual quality for medical images. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

We address the occlusion problem based on the latest developments on sparse representation: matrix completion, which can recover the observation matrix that has high percentages of missing data and can also reduce the noises and outliers in the known elements. We introduce sparse transform to the joint estimation of 3-D shapes and motions. 3-D shape trajectory space is fit by wavelet basis to achieve better modeling of complex motion. Experimental results on datasets without and with occlusion show that our method can better estimate the 3-D shapes and motions, compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. 地址: [Li, Kun] Tianjin Univ, Sch Comp Sci & Technol, Tianjin Key Lab Cognit Comp & Applicat, Tianjin 300072, Peoples R China.

Sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator packet dropouts and time delays are considered simultaneously. According to the stochastic characteristic of the packet dropouts and time delays, a model based on a Markov jump system framework is proposed to randomly compensate for the adverse effect of the two-channel packet dropouts and time delays. To analyze the robust stability of the resulting closed-loop system, a Lyapunov function is proposed, based on which sufficient conditions for the existence of the H-2/H-infinity controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities, ensuring robust stochastic stability as well as the prescribed H-2 and H-infinity performance. Finally, an angular positioning system is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design strategy. 地址: [Qiu, Li; Xu, Gang] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Mechatron & Control Engn, Shenzhen Key Lab Urban Rail Transit, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

This paper proposes a visual-attention-aware model to mimic the HVS for salient-object detection. The informative and directional patches can be seen as visual stimuli, and used as neuronal cues for humans to interpret and detect salient objects. In order to simulate this process, two typical patches are extracted individually and in parallel from the intensity channel and the discriminant color channel, respectively, as the primitives. In our algorithm, an improved wavelet-based salient-patch detector is used to extract the visually informative patches. In addition, as humans are sensitive to orientation features, and as directional patches are reliable cues, we also propose a method for extracting directional patches. These two different types of patches are then combined to form the most important patches, which are called preferential patches and are considered as the visual stimuli applied to the HVS for salient-object detection. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods for salient-object detection, experimental results using publicly available datasets show that our produced algorithm is reliable and effective. 地址: [Jian, Muwei; Dong, Junyu] Ocean Univ China, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Qingdao 266100, Peoples R China.

The knowledge of video popularity is very important for system operation, such as video caching on content distribution network (CDN) servers. The video popularity distribution at a given time is quite well understood. We study how the video popularity changes with time, for different types of videos, and apply the results to design video caching strategies. Our study is based on analyzing the video access levels over time, based on data provided by a large video service provider. Our main finding is, while there are variations, the glory days of a video's popularity typically pass by quickly and the probability of replaying a video by the same user is low. The reason appears to be due to fairly regular number of users and view time per day for each user, and continuous arrival of new videos. All these facts will affect how video popularity changes, hence also affect the optimal video caching strategy. Based on the observation from our measurement study, we propose a mixed replication strategy (of LFU and FIFO) that can handle different kinds of videos. Offline strategy assuming tomorrow's video popularity is known in advance is used as a performance benchmark. Through trace-driven simulation, we show that the caching performance achieved by the mixed strategy is very close to the performance achieved by the offline strategy. 地址: [Zhou, Yipeng] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518000, Peoples R China.

Another popular algorithm is the history based adaptive backoff (HBAB), HBAB has better performance than conventional backoff algorithm by taking the channel states of past trials into account, where the length of its contention window (CW) is set artificially based on the prior knowledge of channel states. However, the length of CW in HBAB cannot be dynamically allocated and it often diverges from the optimal value. Therefore the application of HBAB will be limited in practical scenarios. In this paper, based on HBAB, we propose a new backoff algorithm which can control the length of CW according to the channel utilization ratio adaptively. The proposed algorithm is simple to implementation and can offer higher throughput and lower delay, compared with BEB and HBAB. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. 地址: [Xie, Ning; Zhang, Li; Wu, Jun; Wang, Hui] Shenzhen Univ, CIE, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Its performance is largely dependent on the employed exemplars. However, this learning strategy in the canonical PSO is inefficient when complex problems are being optimized. In this paper, Multiple Strategies based Orthogonal Design PSO (MSODPSO) is presented, in which the social-only model or the cognition-only model is utilized in each particle's velocity update, and an orthogonal design (OD) method is used with a small probability to construct a new exemplar in each iteration. In order to enhance the efficiency of OD method and obtain more efficient exemplar, four auxiliary vector generating strategies are designed. In addition, a global best mutation operator including non-uniform mutation and Gaussian mutation is employed to improve its global search ability. The MSODPSO can be applied to PSO with the global or local structure, yielding MSODPSO-G and MSODPSO-L algorithms, respectively. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms, a set of 24 benchmark functions in 30 and 100 dimensions are utilized in experimental studies. The proposed algorithm is also tested on a real-world economic load dispatch (ELD) problem, which is modelled as a non-convex minimization problem with constraints. The experimental results on the benchmark functions and ELD problems demonstrate that the proposed MSODPSO-G and MSODPSO-L can offer high-quality solutions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

From the perspective of multi-objective optimization, this paper presents a novel FOPID controller design method based on an improved multi-objective extremal optimization (MOEO) algorithm for an automatic regulator voltage (AVR) system. The problem of designing FOND controller for AVR is firstly formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem with three objective functions including minimization of integral of absolute error (IAE), absolute steady-state error, and settling time. Then, an improved MOEO algorithm is proposed to solve this problem by adopting individual-based iterated optimization mechanism and polynomial mutation (PLM). From the perspective of algorithm design, the proposed MOEO algorithm is relatively simpler than NSGA-II and single-objective evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), chaotic anti swarm (CAS) due to its fewer adjustable parameters. Furthermore, the superiority of proposed MOEO-FOPID condoner to NSGA-II-based FOPID, single-objective evolutionary algorithms-based FOPID controllers, MOEO-based and NSGA-II-based PID controllers is demonstrated by extensive experimental results on an AVR system in terms of accuracy and robustness.

There are two kinds of structural features, namely the Euclidean structure and the manifold structure. However, the single-structural feature extraction methods cannot fully utilize the advantages of global feature and local feature simultaneously. Thus their performances will be degraded. To overcome the limitations of the single-structural feature based face recognition schemes, this paper proposes a novel discriminant criterion using Feature Fusion Strategy (FFS), which nonlinearly combines both Euclidean and manifold structures in the face pattern space. The proposed discriminant criterion is suitable to develop an iterative algorithm. It is able to automatically determine the optimal parameters and balance the tradeoff between Euclidean structure and manifold structure. The proposed FFS algorithm is successfully applied to face recognition. Three publicly available face databases, ORL, FERET and CMU PIE, are selected for evaluation. Compared with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Locality Preserving Projection (LPP), Unsupervised Discriminant Projection (UDP) and Semi-Supervised LDA (SSLDA), the experimental results show that the proposed method gives superior performance.

Watermarking in the encrypted domain provides a promising solution to the security of watermarking. However, the robust performance of the watermarking scheme in the encrypted domain should be carefully considered. In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking scheme in the encrypted domain, which protects the original images from the third party embedders. The hybrid discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) based method improves the robust performance of the encrypted domain watermarking scheme. The watermark extraction can be performed on both the plaintext and the encrypted domains. We also give an estimation of the expanding factor after watermark embedding in the encrypted domain. At last, we discuss the watermark attacks that are available in the encrypted domain. Taking Haar wavelet transform for example, we conduct the experiments on the visual quality and the robustness of our watermarking scheme, which demonstrate that the entire performance is satisfactory.

As a key step of tensor processing, the rank-1 tensor decomposition (i.e., the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposition) always requires the estimation of the tensor rank. The Pm-norm has been shown to be effective for tensor rank selection. The existing tensor rank selection algorithm force the same columns of the tensor matrices to simultaneously become zero. However, the real sparse columns for different factor matrices may be different. Such strategy does not really uncover the sparse information of each factor matrix. In this paper, we add a separable l(2,1)-norm on multiple factor matrices to obtain real sparse results along to different modes. And then different sparse results are assembled into a joint sparse pattern for tensor rank selection. This added separable regularization term has twofold role in enhancing the effect of regularization for each factor matrix and fully utilizing the knowledge of multiple factor matrices to facilitate decision making. In order to effectively exploit the structure information of multimedia data, we propose a model of tensor bag of words (tBOW) as the direct input of our algorithms. In the experiments, we apply the proposed algorithms to three representative tasks of multimedia analysis, i.e., image classification, video action recognition, and head pose estimation. Experimental results on three open benchmark datasets show that our algorithms are effective to multimedia analysis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

In the new model, the -norm is considered as the data fitting term and the regularization term is composed of a total variational filter and a Tikhonov quadratic filter. These two filters can be automatically selected by a soft threshold function. When the pixels belong to the cartoon area, the total variational filter is adopted, which can preserve the geometric structures of image such as the edges, well. When the pixels belong to texture region, the Tikhonov quadratic filter is chosen,which can extract the texture of image well. To solve the proposed model effectively, the split Bregman method is employed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model and algorithm can obtain better decomposition results than those of classical models. 地址: [Hao, Yan; Xu, Jianlou] Henan Univ Sci & Technol, Sch Math & Stat, Luoyang 471023, Henan, Peoples R China.

The traditional approach to solving this problem is adopting the candidate cut point (CCP) with the highest discriminative ability, which is evaluated by some frequency based heuristic measures. However, such methods ignore the class permutation of examples in the node, and they cannot distinguish the CCPs with the same or similar frequency information, thus may fail to induce a better and smaller tree. In this paper, a new concept, i. e., segment of examples, is proposed to differentiate the CCPs with same frequency information. Then, a new hybrid scheme that combines the two heuristic measures, i. e., frequency and segment, is developed for splitting DT nodes. The relationship between frequency and the expected number of segments, which is regarded as a random variable, is also given. Experimental comparisons demonstrate that the proposed scheme is not only effective to improve the generalization capability, but also valid to reduce the size of the tree. 地址: [Wang, Ran; Kwong, Sam] City Univ Hong Kong, Dept Comp Sci, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

In this paper, new quantitative quality assessments are proposed to separately evaluate the capabilities of single channel speech enhancement algorithms in terms of maintaining the clean speech, noise reduction and overall performance. Based on these aspects, three evaluation results can be provided for any one test speech signal by analyzing the residual signal which is the difference between the clean speech and the processed speech. Several common speech enhancement algorithms are compared by these objective measures as well as subjective listening tests. High correlations between the scores of the objective measures and subjective ratings clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation methodologies on the different speech enhancement algorithms.

A few results in previous literature can be regarded as special cases of this expression. For the second typical scenario where feedback filter length is less than the channel order , it is difficult to obtain the explicit solutions. We prove that at a given decision delay, the MSE for is always larger than or equal to that for . As a corollary of two derived theorems, the optimum feedback filter length should be set to the channel order for large . Furthermore, in this scenario, the optimal decision delay is conventionally found with an exhaustive search over all possible delays, whose computational complexity is linear with the searching space and unaffordable. To lower the complexity, we then propose an efficient algorithm to find the optimal decision delay. The complexity of our algorithm is only a log function of the searching space and its MSE and symbol error rate performance is almost the same as the traditional exhaustive search . 地址: [Zhou, Wen] Shantou Univ, Dept Elect Engn, Shantou, Peoples R China.

To capture the mixture of sentiment and topics simultaneously in reviews is still a challenging task. In this paper, we present a novel probabilistic model framework based on the non-parametric hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) topic model, called non-parametric joint sentiment topic mixture model (NJST), which adds a sentiment level to the HDP topic model and detects sentiment and topics simultaneously from reviews. Then considered the dynamic nature of social media data, we propose dynamic NJST (dNJST), which adds time decay dependencies of historical epochs to the current epochs. Compared with the existing sentiment topic mixture models which are based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), the biggest difference of NJST and dNJST is that they can determine topic number automatically. We implement NJST and dNJST with online variational inference algorithms, and incorporate the sentiment priors of words into NJST and dNJST with HowNet lexicon. The experiment results in some Chinese social media dataset show that dNJST can effectively detect and track dynamic sentiment and topics. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Inspired by the phenomenon that parasitic behavior is beneficial to the natural ecosystem for the promotion of its biodiversity, this paper presents a novel coevolutionary particle swarm optimizer with parasitic behavior (PSOPB). The population of PSOPB consists of two swarms, which are host swarm and parasite swarm. The characteristics of parasitic behavior are mimicked from three aspects: the parasites getting nourishments from the host, the host immunity, and the evolution of the parasites. With a predefined probability, which reflects the characteristic of the facultative parasitic behavior, the two swarms exchange particles according to particles' sorted fitness values in each swarm. The host immunity is mimicked through two ways: the number of exchange particles is linearly decreased over iterations, and particles in the host swarm can learn from the global best position in the parasite swarm. Two mutation operators are utilized to simulate two aspects of the evolution of the parasites in PSOPB. In order to embody the law of "survival of the fittest" in biological evolution, the particles with poor fitness in the host swarm are removed and replaced by the same numbers of randomly initialized particles. The proposed algorithm is experimentally validated on a set of 21 benchmark functions. The experimental results show that PSOPB performs better than other eight popular PSO variants in terms of solution accuracy and convergence speed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Though some existing methods (i.e. K-means, DBSCAN) have been extended to handle uncertain object clustering, there are still some limitations to be solved. K-means assumes that the objects are described by reasonably separated spherical balls. Thus, UK-means based on K-means is limited in handling objects which are in non-spherical shape. On the other hand, the probability density function is an important characteristic of uncertain data, but few existing clustering methods consider the difference between objects relying on probability density functions. Therefore, in this article, a clustering algorithm based on probability distribution similarity is proposed. Our method aims at finding the largest margin between clusters to overcome the limitation of UK-means. Extensively experimental results verify the performance of our method by effectiveness, efficiency and scalability on both synthetic and real data sets. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Among many, one of the fundamental questions is how to predict product adoption, and the answer to this question lays the foundation for product adoption maximization and demand estimation in large social networks. However, due to the inherent challenges resulting from the dynamic diffusion mechanism in online social networks, such as modeling of activation thresholds and influence probability, differentiating between influence and adoption, and incorporating review content, traditional diffusion models are often not adequate enough to predict product adoption accurately. In order to tackle these challenges, we propose a linear threshold-hurdle model to predict product adoption incorporating social network effects. First, we present a fine-grained activation threshold model based on the five categories of adopters. In addition, we identify three operational factors underlying social network effects, including interaction strength, structural equivalence, and social entity similarity, to model influence probabilities. Furthermore, we distinguish influence spread from adoption spread by introducing a tattle state, in which users express opinions without adopting the product. Finally, we introduce the notion of hurdle to capture the monetary aspect in users' decision making process of product adoption. Based on the proposed linear threshold-hurdle model, two data mining methods based on the rough set technique, namely, decision rules and decomposition trees, are employed to predict product adoption in a large social network. An empirical study of Kindle Fire HD 7 in. tablets is used to illustrate the potential and feasibility of the proposed model. The results demonstrate the predictive power of the proposed model with average F-scores of 89.8% for the week prediction model and of 86.7% for the bi-week prediction model. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Data compression is one of the effective solutions, where reference-based compression strategies can typically achieve superior compression ratios compared to the ones not relying on any reference. Results: This paper presents a lossless light-weight reference-based compression algorithm namely LW-FQZip to compress FASTQ data. The three components of any given input, i.e., metadata, short reads and quality score strings, are first parsed into three data streams in which the redundancy information are identified and eliminated independently. Particularly, well-designed incremental and run-length-limited encoding schemes are utilized to compress the metadata and quality score streams, respectively. To handle the short reads, LW-FQZip uses a novel light-weight mapping model to fast map them against external reference sequence(s) and produce concise alignment results for storage. The three processed data streams are then packed together with some general purpose compression algorithms like LZMA. LW-FQZip was evaluated on eight real-world NGS data sets and achieved compression ratios in the range of 0.111-0.201. This is comparable or superior to other state-of-the-art lossless NGS data compression algorithms. Conclusions: LW-FQZip is a program that enables efficient lossless FASTQ data compression. It contributes to the state of art applications for NGS data storage and transmission.

However, the nondeterministic garbage collection operation in NAND flash memory makes it difficult to predict the system response time of each data request. This article presents Lazy-RTGC, a real-time lazy garbage collection mechanism for NAND flash memory storage systems. Lazy-RTGC adopts two design optimization techniques: on-demand page-level address mappings, and partial garbage collection. On-demand page-level address mappings can achieve high performance of address translation and can effectively manage the flash space with the minimum RAM cost. On the other hand, partial garbage collection can provide the guaranteed system response time. By adopting these techniques, Lazy-RTGC jointly optimizes both the average and the worst system response time, and provides a lower bound of reclaimed free space. Lazy-RTGC is implemented in FlashSim and compared with representative real-time NAND flash memory management schemes. Experimental results show that our technique can significantly improve both the average and worst system performance with very low extra flash-space requirements. 地址: [Zhang, Qi; Li, Xuandong; Wang, Linzhang; Zhang, Tian] Nanjing Univ, Dept Comp Sci, State Key Lab Novel Software Technol, Nanjing 210008, Jiangsu, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: As people pay more attention to environmental protection and energy conservation issues, energy consumption in communications have become a hot research field. In wireless communications networks such as wireless sensor networks, traditional battery-operated devices or nodes have a short lifetime and die after the batteries are depleted, and replacing the batteries may be very costly and sometimes will be impossible. Therefore, energy harvesting (EH) communications have become a good means to solve this problem. EH communications mean the nodes can continue working by harvesting ambient energy. EH communications are different from the traditional battery-operated communications, so we need new models and optimal transmission policies to maximize the throughput. In this article we review different methods of harvesting the ambient energy in EH communications and the models of EH communications. We focus on offline optimal policies, then compare different policies and classify them into certain types. Finally, we propose several open research challenges and directions for future work. 地址: [He, Yejun] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

However, the complexity for one-stage signal decomposition increases significantly, as increasing the number of subband to improve the convergence further. To solve this problem, a new SAF is proposed in this letter, which is constructed with two-stage decomposition. Based on the proposed structure, an adaptive algorithm of updating coefficients is derived based on the principle of minimal disturbance. Compared to the conventional SAF with one-stage decomposition, the proposed one has similar convergence rate with a lower complexity. Theoretical analysis and simulation results validated the superiority of the proposed SAF. 地址: [Xie, Ning; Ling, Junyue; Wang, Hui] Shenzhen Univ, CIE, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: This paper discusses the implementation of RFID technologies, which enable the shop floor visibility and reduce uncertainties in the real-time scheduling for hybrid flowshop (HFS) production. In the real-time HFS environment, the arriving of new jobs is dynamic, while the processes in work stages are not continuous. The decision makers in shop floor level and stage level have different objectives. Therefore, classical off-line HFS scheduling approaches cannot be used under these situations. In this research, two major measures are taken to deal with these specific real-time features. Firstly, a ubiquitous manufacturing (UM) environment is created by deploying advanced wireless devices into value-adding points for the collection and synchronization of real-time shop floor data. Secondly, a multi-:period hierarchical scheduling,(MPHS) mechanism is developed to divide the planning time horizon into multiple shorter periods. The shop floor manapr and stage managers can hierarchically make decisions for their own objectives. Finally, the proposed MPHS mechanism is illustrated by a numerical case study.

Thus research into a theory that integrates interrupt behaviors and time analysis seems to be important and challenging. In this paper, we present a programming language to describe programs with interrupts that is comprised of two essential parts: main program and interrupt handling programs.We also explore a timed operational semantics and a denotational semantics to specify the meanings of our language. Furthermore, a strategy of deriving denotational semantics from the timed operational semantics is provided to demonstrate the soundness of our operational semantics by showing the consistency between the derived denotational semantics and the original denotational semantics. 地址: [Huang, Yanhong; Shi, Jianqi] E China Normal Univ, Natl Trusted Embedded Software Engn Technol Res C, Shanghai 200062, Peoples R China.

An upper bound and a lower bound for the capacity of this known interference channel are derived. Specifically, the capacity lower bound is achieved by a blind known interference cancellation (BKIC) scheme, which can remove the interference without the knowledge of the interference channel gain. We further show that the achievable lower bound of BKIC can approach the upper bound in high SNR regime. Our results show that the lack of the knowledge of the channel gain of the interfering link causes only a small fractional loss of degrees of freedom (capacity prelog). 地址: [Zhang, Shengli] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen MCSP Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

The increasing capacity of NAND flash memory leads to large RAM footprint on address mapping management. This paper proposes a novel Demand-based block-level Address mapping scheme with a two-level Caching mechanism (DAC) for large-scale NAND flash storage systems. The objective is to reduce RAM footprint without excessively compromising system response time. In our technique, the block-level address mapping table is stored in fixed pages (called the translation pages) in the flash memory. Considering temporal locality that workloads exhibit, we maintain one cache in RAM to store the on-demand address mapping entries. Meanwhile, by exploring both spatial locality and access frequency of workloads with another two caches, the second-level cache is designed to cache selected translation pages. In such a way, both the most-frequently-accessed and sequentially accessed address mapping entries can be stored in the cache so the cache hit ratio can be increased and the system response time can be improved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to reduce the RAM cost by employing the demand-based approach on block-level address mapping schemes. The experiments have been conducted on a real embedded platform. The experimental results show that our technique can effectively reduce the RAM footprint while maintaining similar average system response time compared with previous work. 地址: [Wang, Yi] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 630044, Peoples R China.

A recent study reports that in a social contagion process, the probability of contagion is tightly controlled by the number of connected components in an individual's neighborhood. Such a number is termed structural diversity of an individual, and it is shown to be a key predictor in the social contagion process. Based on this, a fundamental issue in a social network is to find top- users with the highest structural diversities. In this paper, we, for the first time, study the top- structural diversity search problem in a large network. Specifically, we study two types of structural diversity measures, namely, component-based structural diversity measure and core-based structural diversity measure. For component-based structural diversity, we develop an effective upper bound of structural diversity for pruning the search space. The upper bound can be incrementally refined in the search process. Based on such upper bound, we propose an efficient framework for topstructural diversity search. To further speed up the structural diversity evaluation in the search process, several carefully devised search strategies are proposed. We also design efficient techniques to handle frequent updates in dynamic networks and maintain the top- results. We further show how the techniques proposed in component-based structural diversity measure can be extended to handle the core-based structural diversity measure. Extensive experimental studies are conducted in real-world large networks and synthetic graphs, and the results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methods. 地址: [Huang, Xin; Cheng, Hong; Yu, Jeffrey Xu] Chinese Univ Hong Kong, Dept Syst Engn & Engn Management, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

We adopt the proportional fairness (PF) utility maximization formulation which also accommodates the QoS constraints in terms of minimum rate requirements. With equal resource allocation this joint optimization problem is either infeasible or requires relaxation that yields a solution which is difficult to implement. Nevertheless, we show that this joint optimization problem can be effectively solved without any priori assumption on resource allocation and yields a cell association scheme which enforces single BS association for each user. We re-formulated the joint optimization problem as a network-wide resource allocation problem with cardinality constraints. A reweighted heuristic l(1)-norm regularization method is used to obtain a sparse solution to the re-formulated problem. The cell association scheme is then derived from the sparsity pattern of the solution, which guarantees a single BS association for each user. Compared with the previously proposed method based on equal resource allocation, the proposed framework results in a feasible cell association scheme and yields a robust solution on resource allocation that satisfies the QoS constraints. Our simulations illustrate the impact of user's minimum rate requirements on cell association and demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves load balancing and enforces single BS association for users. 地址: [Su, Gongchao; Li, Lemin] Univ Elect Sci & Technol China, Sch Commun & Informat Engn, Chengdu 611731, Peoples R China.

The interference between SUs actually carries information and can potentially be exploited to improve the network performance through information-theoretic interference processing. In this paper, we design an optimal joint power and rate control algorithm that maximizes the secondary system utility subject to the interference temperature constraints of primary users based on the capacity-approaching interference processing scheme called as the Han-Kobayashi scheme. The optimal solution is difficult to achieve because the optimization problem is in general non-convex. To make the optimization problem tractable, this paper first transforms the problem into a monotonic optimization problem through exploiting its hidden monotonicity. We then devise an effective algorithm to obtain the global optimal solution to the joint power and rate control problem in the Han-Kobayashi scheme. The key idea behind the proposed algorithm is to construct a sequence of shrinking polyblocks that approximate the upper boundary of the feasible region with increasing precision. Numerical results further show that the achieved utility of our scheme significantly outperforms the utility of conventional schemes which treat the interference between SUs as the noise. 地址: [Qian, Li Ping] Zhejiang Univ Technol, Coll Comp Sci & Technol, Hangzhou 310023, Zhejiang, Peoples R China.

Normally, there is a trade-off between precision and computational cost. In this study, we present a framework combined with block matching algorithm (BMA) and phase shift method with prior estimation (PSPE). BMA is first applied to the RF signals, the axial and lateral displacements obtained are then used as a prior estimates of the PS method to calculate a more precision axial displacements. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with synthetic ultrasound RF data, and it is found that both SNRe and CNRe of our method are significantly higher than those of phase-shift as a prior estimation (PSPE) method. Elasticity phantom and clinical data are also used to verify the usefulness of our algorithm, respectively. The results show that our method is robust to image the complex tissue motions.

It makes the medical search technologies become critical to find useful patient information in the large medical dataset. However, the high quality medical search is a challenging task, in particular due to the inherent complexity and ambiguity of medical terminology. In this paper, by exploiting the uncertainty in ambiguous medical queries, we propose a novel semantic-based approach to achieve the diversity-aware retrieval of EMRs, i.e., both the relevance and novelty are considered for EMR ranking. With the support of medical domain ontologies, we first mine all the potential semantics (concepts and relations between them) from a user query and consume them to model the multiple query aspects. Then, we propose a novel diversification strategy, which considers not only the aspect importance but also the aspect similarity, to perform the diversity-aware EMR ranking. A real-world pilot study, which utilizes the proposed medical search approach to improve the second use of the EMRs, is reported. We believe that our experience can serve as an important reference for the development of similar applications in a medical data utilization and sharing environment. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

One example is in social websites where the users interact with each other, and share their interests on different items such as music or books. In this case, the direct interactions among the users can be represented as a graph, and the items like music or books can be represented as a set. People are often interested in the bipartite relation between the graph and the set. They might want to know the similarity or difference of the items liked by themselves and by their friends. In this paper, we propose a visualization framework designed for the micro-exploration and detailed analysis of relations involving a graph and a set. Our system consists of two major components: an enhanced graph view and a radial view. The enhanced graph view shows a social network of people and statistical information about the items which people are interested in, and the radial view is designed to show people's interests, the overlapping of their interests, and recommended items based on their interests. The combined use of the two visualization components can facilitate the discovery of various relational patterns underlying the links connecting the graph and the set. The experiment on the real dataset demonstrates the effectiveness of our technique. 地址: [Zhou, Hong] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

While the resulting elastic optical DCIs (EO-DCIs) need to serve requests that not only require bandwidth resources on fiber links but also require multidimensional IT resources in the DCs, multidimensional resource fragmentation can occur during dynamic network operations and deteriorate the network performance. To address this issue, this paper investigates the problem of joint defragmentation (DF) for the spectrum and IT resources in EO-DCIs. Specifically, we reoptimize the allocations of multidimensional resources jointly with complexity-controlled network reconfigurations. For the DFoperation, we first study the request selection process and propose a joint selection strategy that can perform the spectrum-and IT-oriented selections adaptively according to the network status. Then, we formulate a mixed integer linear programming model and design several heuristics to tackle the problem of network reconfiguration in the joint DF. The proposed algorithms are evaluated with extensive simulations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed joint DF algorithms can significantly reduce the blocking probability in EO-DCIs by consolidating the spectrum and IT resource usages effectively. 地址: [Fang, Wenjian; Liu, Xiahe; Gong, Long; Zhu, Zuqing] Univ Sci & Technol China, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Hefei 230027, Anhui, Peoples R China.

Traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies are very popular in this area since their cost is very low. In such technologies, each tag acts as the transmitter and the Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) information is measured from the readers. However, RSSI information suffers severely from the multi-path phenomenon. As a result, if in a very large area, the localization accuracy will be affected seriously. In order to solve this problem, we introduce Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with only a few nodes, each of which acts as both transmitter and receiver. In such networks, the change of signal strength (referred as dynamic of RSSI) is leveraged to select a cluster of reference tags as candidates. Then the final target location is estimated by using the RSSI relationships between the target tag and candidate reference tags. Thus, the localization accuracy and scalability are able to be improved. We proposed two algorithms, SA-LANDMARC, and COCKTAIL. Experiments show that the localization accuracy of the two algorithms can reach 0.7m and 0.45m, respectively. Compared to most traditional Radio Frequency (RF)-based approaches, the localization accuracy is improved at least 50%. 地址: [Zhang Dian; Lu Kezhong; Mao Rui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Guangdong Prov Key Lab Popular High Performance C, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Mao, R (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Guangdong Prov Key Lab Popular High Performance C, Nanhai Ave 3688, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 第 53 条,共 274 条 标题: Distributed Denial of Service Attacks in Software-Defined Networking with Cloud Computing 作者: Yan, Q (Yan, Qiao); Yu, FR (Yu, F. Richard) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Although software-defined networking (SDN) brings numerous benefits by decoupling the control plane from the data plane, there is a contradictory relationship between SDN and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. On one hand, the capabilities of SDN make it easy to detect and to react to DDoS attacks. On the other hand, the separation of the control plane from the data plane of SDN introduces new attacks. Consequently, SDN itself may be a target of DDoS attacks. In this paper, we first discuss the new trends and characteristics of DDoS attacks in cloud computing environments. We show that SDN brings us a new chance to defeat DDoS attacks in cloud computing environments, and we summarize good features of SDN in defeating DDoS attacks. Then we review the studies about launching DDoS attacks on SDN and the methods against DDoS attacks in SDN. In addition, we discuss a number of challenges that need to be addressed to mitigate DDoS attached in SDN with cloud computing. This work can help understand how to make full use of SDN's advantages to defeat DDoS attacks in cloud computing environments and how to prevent SDN itself from becoming a victim of DDoS attacks. 地址: [Yan, Qiao] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

Today's video streaming systems mostly use HTTP streaming, with users accessing video segments as HTTP requests. A frequently used strategy is to serve all user requests as fast as possible, as if the user is downloading a file. The downloading rate can often far exceed the playback rate, when the system is below the peak load. This is known as progressive downloading. Since users may quit before viewing the complete video, however, much of the downloaded video can be "wasted." By studying and exploiting the predictability of users' departure behavior, the authors developed a smart streaming strategy that can significantly improve overall streaming service quality under given server bandwidth. The improvement is achieved by avoiding the waste based on predicted user departure behavior. The proposed smart streaming technique is evaluated by modeling, analysis, and simulation, as well as experimentation using a prototype implementation. 地址: [Chen, Liang] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Nevertheless, the design of wavelets is always proceeded with empirical parameters, which tends to involve a large number of irrelevant and redundant spectral spatial features and results in suboptimal configuration. This paper proposes a 3D Gabor wavelet feature extraction in a memetic framework, named M3DGFE, for hyperspectral imagery classification. Particularly, the parameter setting of 3D Gabor wavelet feature extraction is optimized using memetic algorithm so that discriminative and parsimonious feature set is acquired for accurate classification. M3DGFE is characterized by an efficient fitness evaluation function and a pruning local search. In the fitness evaluation function, a new concept of redundancy-free relevance based on conditional mutual information is proposed to measure the goodness of the extracted candidate features. The pruning local search is specially designed to eliminate both irrelevant and redundant features without sacrificing the discriminability of the obtained feature subset. M3DGFE is tested on both pixel-level and image-level classification using real-world hyperspectral remote sensing data and hyperspectral face data, respectively. The experimental results show that M3DGFE achieves promising classification accuracy with parsimonious feature subset. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

An adaptive non-linearly decreasing modulation model is used to keep a well balance between the exploration and exploitation of the proposed algorithm. The comprehensive learning mechanism maintains the diversity of the bacterial population and thus alleviates the premature convergence. Compared with the classical GA, PSO, the original BFO and two improved BFO (BFO-LDC and BFO-NDC) algorithm, the proposed ACLBFO shows significantly better performance in solving multimodal problems. We also assess the performance of the ACLBFO method on vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). Compared with three other BFO algorithms, the proposed algorithm is superior and confirms its potential to solve vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

This paper presents a modification of PSO (hybrid learning PSO with genetic disturbance, HLPSO-GD for short) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many PSO variants. In HLPSO-GD, the swarm uses a hybrid learning strategy whereby all other particles' previous best information is adopted to update a particle's position. Additionally, to better make use of the excellent particle's information, the global external archive is introduced to store the best performing particle in the whole swarm. Furthermore, the genetic disturbance (simulated binary crossover and polynomial mutation) is used to cross the corresponding particle in the external archive, and generate new individuals which will improve the swarm ability to escape from the local optima. Experiments were conducted on a set of traditional multimodal test functions and CEC 2013 benchmark functions. The results demonstrate the good performance of HLPSO-GD in solving multimodal problems when compared with the other PSO variants. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

As a novel evolutionary algorithm inspired from statistical physics and coevolution, extremal optimization (EO) has successfully applied to a variety of optimization problems while the applications of E0 into the design of multivariable PID and PI controllers are relatively rare. This paper presents a novel real-coded population-based EO (RPEO) method for the design of multivariable PID and PI controllers. The basic idea behind RPEO is based on population-based iterated optimization process consisting of the following key operations including generation of a real-coded random initial population by encoding the parameters of a multivariable PID or PI controller into a set of real values, evaluation of the individual fitness by using a novel and reasonable control performance index, generation of new population based on multi-non-uniform mutation and updating the population by accepting the new population unconditionally. From the perspectives of simplicity and accuracy, the proposed RPEO algorithm is demonstrated to outperform other reported popular evolutionary algorithms, such as real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA) with multi-crossover or simulated binary crossover, differential evolution (DE), modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO), probability based discrete binary PSO (PBPSO), and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES) by the experimental results on the benchmark multivariable binary distillation column plant.

The intrinsic local dynamical behaviors of the nodes in the complex networks are varied continuously while the manners of information interaction between every two different nodes are discrete time-varying rather than proceeded continuously, that is, the communications of the nodes only active at some discrete instants. Similar to the sampled data control systems, we convert the discrete time coupling issue into an effective time-varying delayed coupling network. By constructing the Lyapunov function skillfully, sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the realization of the synchronization pattern for all initial values based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and linear matrix inequalities. What is more, the maximum allowable sampling period for communication is obtained through a optimization problem. Numerical simulations are also exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the main result. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Though PCM is one of the most promising candidates with commercial products available, its adoption has been greatly compromised by limited write endurance. As main memory is one of the most heavily accessed components, it is critical to prolong the lifetime of PCM. In this article, we present write-activity-aware page table management (WAPTM), a simple yet effective page table management scheme for reducing unnecessary writes, by redesigning system software and exploiting write-activity-aware features provided by the hardware. We implemented WAPTM in Google Android based on the ARM architecture and evaluated it with real Android applications. Experimental results show that WAPTM can significantly reduce writes in page tables, proving the feasibility and potential of prolonging the lifetime of PCM-based main memory through reducing writes at the OS level. 地址: [Wang, Tianzheng] Univ Toronto, Dept Comp Sci, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada.

The main idea of the method is to construct a variable-length mapping sequence with unparallel lambda positions, with which to map short-length-OOCs into long-length OOCs to realize the general construction of ML OOCs with correlation value lambda with high efficiency by the Johnson bound. The cardinality of multiple-length mapping sequences is derived. Based on the cardinality, the fundamentals of constructing the aforementioned multiple-length mapping sequences are presented and proved. The construction method of ML OOCs with arbitrary cross-correlation lambda is given. Simulation results show that the method can construct ML OOCs with arbitrary lambda; the applications of ML OOCs show that the method is practical for constructing ML OOCs to support multiple service. 地址: [Li, Xiaobin] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen Key Lab Adv Commun & Informat Proc, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

A novel image segmentation model, called nonconvex regularization based sparse and low-rank coupling model, is presented for such a purpose. We aim at finding the optimal solution which is provided with sparse and low-rank simultaneously. This is achieved by relaxing sparse representation problem as L-1/2 norm minimization other than the L-1 norm minimization, while relaxing low-rank representation problem as the S-1/2 norm minimization other than the nuclear norm minimization. This coupled model can be solved efficiently through the Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) method and half-threshold operator. Compared to the other state-of-the-art methods, the new method is better at capturing the global structure of the whole data, the robustness is better and the segmentation accuracy is also competitive.

The state-of-the-art methods fail to identify high-quality compressed images, which are common on the Internet. In this paper, we provide a novel quantization noise-based solution to reveal the traces of JPEG compression. Based on the analysis of noises in multiple-cycle JPEG compression, we define a quantity called forward quantization noise. We analytically derive that a decompressed JPEG image has a lower variance of forward quantization noise than its uncompressed counterpart. With the conclusion, we develop a simple yet very effective detection algorithm to identify decompressed JPEG images. We show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by a large margin especially for high-quality compressed images through extensive experiments on various sources of images. We also demonstrate that the proposed method is robust to small image size and chroma subsampling. The proposed algorithm can be applied in some practical applications, such as Internet image classification and forgery detection. 地址: [Li, Bin; Huang, Jiwu] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

For a virtualized data center, optimizing the placement of virtual machines (VMs) dynamically is one of the most effective methods for power savings. Based on a deep study on VMs placement, a solution is proposed and described in this paper to solve the problem of dynamic placement of VMs toward optimization of their energy consumptions. A computational model of energy consumption is proposed and built. A novel algorithm based on evolutionary game theory is also presented, which successfully addresses the challenges faced by dynamic placement of VMs. It is proved that the proposed algorithm can reach the optimal solutions theoretically. Experimental results also demonstrate that, by adjusting VMs placement dynamically, the energy consumption can be reduced correspondingly. In comparison with the existing state of the arts, our proposed method outperforms other five algorithms tested and achieves savings of 30-40% on energy consumption. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Error models aim to investigate the statistical properties of bursty error sequences at either packet level or bit level. Packet-level error models are crucial to the design and performance evaluation of high-layer wireless communication protocols. This paper proposes a general design procedure for a packet-level generative model based on a sampled deterministic process with a threshold detector and two parallel mappers. In order to assess the proposed method, target packet error sequences are derived by computer simulations of a coded enhanced general packet radio service system. The target error sequences are compared with the generated error sequences from the deterministic process-based generative model using some widely used burst error statistics, such as error-free run distribution, error-free burst distribution, error burst distribution, error cluster distribution, gap distribution, block error probability distribution, block burst probability distribution, packet error correlation function, normalized covariance function, gap correlation function, and multigap distribution. The deterministic process-based generative model is observed to outperform the widely used Markov models.

Different from other spectral methods, KECA reveals structure related to the Renyi entropy of the input space data set. Therefore, it is not necessary to select the top eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the kernel matrix. Consequently, KECA has been successfully applied in many areas due to its special properties. However, similar to other spectral methods. KECA also suffers from the problem of noise sensitivity, because small entropy values in the input space may be associated with noise. To improve the robustness against noise of spectral methods, fuzzy set theory has been successfully introduced into some spectral methods, which is a simple and effective solution. In this paper, we propose the fuzzy robust KECA (FR-KECA) algorithm based on fuzzy set theory to improve the robustness. The main idea of FR-KECA is to induce the fuzzy item to optimize the kernel entropy components in KECA, which makes the transformed data more robust. Three FR-KECA algorithms are proposed, and then evaluated in three data transformation experiments and two dimensionality reduction experiments with five commonly used datasets. The experimental results indicate that the proposed three FR-KECA algorithms outperform the original KECA in both data transformation and dimensionality reduction at least 0.7% up to 4.3% for different data sets, suggesting that the proposed FR-KECA algorithms have the potential to be applied to noise-corrupted high dimensional data.

The Event-related Potentials (ERPs) denoising using ERPs image processing has received a significant attention in recent years. Considering the importance of latency and amplitude details in the ERPs analysis, the desirable methods for ERPs denoising are supposed to remove the large noise effectively while keeping the important information of the ERPs signal, latency and amplitude. A collaborative filtering that includes image patch grouping, shrinkage in 3D transform domain, and aggregation is applied to remove the background noise from the ERPs images. The denoising experiments have been evaluated on simulated data and real data using waveform observation, objective criteria calculation, and single-trial classification. The validations have demonstrated that the collaborative filtering is able to remove the noise effectively compared to wavelet and non local means. Moreover, it also preserves the details of the ERPs signals for latency and amplitude estimation simultaneously. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Inspired by the learning mechanism in particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms, we propose a binary learning differential evolution (BLDE) algorithm that can efficiently locate the global optimal solutions by learning from the last population. Then, we theoretically prove the global convergence of BLDE, and compare it with some existing binary-coded evolutionary algorithms (EAs) via numerical experiments. Numerical results show that BLDE is competitive with the compared EAs. Further study is performed via the change curves of a renewal metric and a refinement metric to investigate why BLDE cannot outperform some compared EM for several selected benchmark problems. Finally, we employ BLDE in solving the unit commitment problem (UCP) in power systems to show its applicability to practical problems. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

There is often significant financial incentive to use a robot (or a botnet) to artificially create fake views. How can we detect fake views? Can we detect them (and stop them) efficiently? What is the extent of fake views with current VoD service providers? These are the questions we study in this article.

However, the runtime and memory usage increase as the number of reference sequences and the repeat content among these sequences increase. In many applications, read mapping time dominates the entire application. We developed CompMap, a reference-based compression program, to speed up this process. CompMap enables the generation of a non-redundant representative sequence for the input sequences. We have demonstrated that reads can be mapped to this representative sequence with a much reduced time and memory usage, and the mapping to the original reference sequences can be recovered with high accuracy. 地址: [Zhu, Zexuan; Li, Linsen; Zhang, Yongpeng; Yang, Yanli] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

To harmonize the channel access among competing tags and reduce collision probability, conventionally, framed slotted ALOHA (FSA) scheme is employed to resolve the collisions occurring when numerous tags simultaneously respond to the query of the reader. Typically, FSA algorithm consists of two parts: (i) estimating the number of available tags in vicinity, and (ii) base on the estimated value, setting the frame length accordingly. However, in the FSA scheme, when collision happens, it is impossible to estimate how many colliding tags simultaneously reply in a single slot, which, in turn, can lead to inaccuracy of the estimated cardinality and unreasonable setting of the frame length. This will further result in under-utilization of channel resource and the degradation of the system performance. The problem can be aggravated when all slots in the frame are entirely collided under a dense environment, rendering the malfunction of the estimator. To address this problem, in this paper, a prefix assisted approach, namely, PA-FSA, is proposed to enhance the estimation accuracy of the traditional FSA. Specifically, in PA-FSA, each tag appends a prefix in front of RN16 short message. When replying RN16 to the reader, a tag randomly and independently selects one bit in the prefix and sets the bit as active. By synchronizing prefixes of multiple colliding replies and counting the number of active bits in the overlapping prefixes, the reader can more precisely estimate how many tags have collided in a single slot, thus significantly improving the estimation accuracy. Extensive simulation results indicate that, compared with the traditional schemes, PA-FSA can estimate the tag cardinality more accurately and efficiently. Additionally, with PA-FSA adopted, system can reduce the communication overhead for approximately 50% and shorten the tag identification time for about 15%. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is employed to achieve high-quality solutions to the constrained optimization problems. However, the chemotaxis step was set as only a constant in the original BFO, where no mechanism could keep the balance between global search and local search. To further improve the performance of the original BFO, we also come up with two modified BFOs, i.e. BFO with linear decreasing chemotaxis step (BFO-LDC) and BFO with non-linear decreasing chemotaxis step (BFO-NDC). In order to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method (BFO-LDC and BFO-NDC), six well-known constrained benchmark problems from the optimization literature were selected as testing functions. The experimental results demonstrated that the modified BFOs are of greater efficiency in the speed of convergence as well as fine tune the search in the multidimensional space, and they can be used as a general approach for most nonlinear optimization problems with inequity constrains.

In order to discover biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis from omics data, feature selection has become an indispensable step to find a parsimonious set of informative features. However, many previous studies report considerable label noise in omics data, which will lead to unreliable inferences to select uninformative features. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, very few feature selection methods are proposed to address this problem. This paper proposes a novel ensemble feature selection algorithm, robust twin boosting feature selection (RTBFS), which is robust to label noise in omics data. The algorithm has been validated on an omics feature selection test bed and seven real-world heterogeneous omics datasets, of which some are known to have label noise. Compared with several state-of-the-art ensemble feature selection methods, RTBFS can select more informative features despite label noise and obtain better classification results. RTBFS is a general feature selection method and can be applied to other data with label noise.

The majority of global path planning methods are designed to find a collision-free path from a start location to a target location while optimizing one or more objectives like path length, smoothness, and safety at a time. It is noted that providing multiple tradeoff path solutions of different objectives is much more beneficial to the user's choice than giving a single optimal solution in terms of some specific criterion. This paper proposes a global path planning of wheeled robots using multi-objective memetic algorithms (MOMAs). Particularly, two MOMAs are implemented based on conventional multi-objective genetic algorithms with elitist non-dominated sorting and decomposition strategies respectively to optimize the path length and smoothness simultaneously. Novel path encoding scheme, path refinement, and specific evolutionary operators are designed and introduced to the MOMAs to enhance the search ability of the algorithms as well as guarantee the safety of the candidate paths obtained in complex environments. Experimental results on both simulated and real environments show that the proposed MOMAs are efficient in planning a set of valid tradeoff paths in complex environments. 地址: [Zhu, Zexuan; Xiao, Jun; Li, Jian-Qiang; Wang, Fangxiao] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

This filter propagates the marginal distributions and existence probabilities of each target in the filter recursion, and it admits a closed-form solution for a linear Gaussian multi-target model. However, this closed-form solution is not general enough to accommodate nonlinear multi-target models. In this paper, we propose two implementations of the MDB filter to accommodate nonlinear multi-target models. The first is the first-order Taylor approximation MOB (FTA-MDB) filter which is based on the linearization technique of nonlinear function, and the second is the unscented transform MDB (UT-MDB) filter which is based on the unscented transform technique. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed implementations are better on multiple targets tracking than the UK-PHD filter. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH.

After the input weights and the hidden layer biases are chosen randomly, ELM can be simply considered a linear system. However, the learning time of ELM is mainly spent on calculating the Moore-Penrose inverse matrices of the hidden layer output matrix. This paper focuses on effective computation of the Moore-Penrose inverse matrices for ELM, several methods are proposed. They are the reduced QR factorization with column Pivoting and Geninv ELM (QRGeninv-ELM), tensor product matrix ELM (TPM-ELM). And we compare QRGeninv-ELM, TPM-ELM with the relational algorithm of Moore-Penrose inverse matrices for ELM, the relational algorithms are: Cholesky factorization of singular matrix ELM (Geninv-ELM), QR factorization and Ginv ELM (QRGinv-ELM), the conjugate Gram-Schmidt process ELM (CGS-ELM).

For video service, the relationship between QoE and QoS (such as coding parameters and network statistics) is complicated because users' perceptual video quality is subjective and diversified in different environments. Traditionally, QoE is obtained from subjective test, where human viewers evaluate the quality of tested videos under a laboratory environment. To avoid high cost and offline nature of such tests, objective quality models are developed to predict QoE based on objective QoS parameters, but it is still an indirect way to estimate QoE. With the rising popularity of video streaming over the Internet, data-driven QoE analysis models have newly emerged due to availability of large-scale data. In this paper, we give a comprehensive survey of the evolution of video quality assessment methods, analyzing their characteristics, advantages, and drawbacks. We also introduce QoE-based video applications and, finally, identify the future research directions of QoE. 地址: [Chen, Yanjiao; Zhang, Qian] Hong Kong Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

However, in practical complex environments, the interactions between agents can be sparse, and each agent's interacting partners may change frequently and randomly. To this end, we investigate the multiagent coordination problems in cooperative environments under a social learning framework. We consider a large population of agents where each agent interacts with another agent randomly chosen from the population in each round. Each agent learns its policy through repeated interactions with the rest of the agents via social learning. It is not clear a priori if all agents can learn a consistent optimal coordination policy in such a situation. We distinguish two different types of learners depending on the amount of information each agent can perceive: individual action learner and joint action learner. The learning performance of both types of learners is evaluated under a number of challenging deterministic and stochastic cooperative games, and the influence of the information sharing degree on the learning performance also is investigated-a key difference from the learning framework involving repeated interactions among fixed agents. 地址: [Hao, Jianye] MIT, Comp Sci & Artificial Intelligence Lab, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.

Compression is a critical tool to address these challenges, where many methods have been developed to reduce the storage size of the genomes and sequencing data (reads, quality scores and metadata). However, genomic data are being generated faster than they could be meaningfully analyzed, leaving a large scope for developing novel compression algorithms that could directly facilitate data analysis beyond data transfer and storage. In this article, we categorize and provide a comprehensive review of the existing compression methods specialized for genomic data and present experimental results on compression ratio, memory usage, time for compression and decompression. We further present the remaining challenges and potential directions for future research. 地址: [Zhu, Zexuan; Ji, Zhen] Shenzhen Univ, Colloge Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

A lot of work has been done on volume and velocity, but not as much has been reported on variety. To handle the variety of data, universal solutions with acceptable performance are usually much more cost effective than customized solutions. To achieve universality, a basic idea is to first define a universal abstraction that covers a wide range of data types, and then build a universal system for universal abstraction. Traditional database management systems commonly use a multidimensional data type, or feature vectors, as a universal abstraction. However, many new data types in AAL systems cannot be abstracted into multidimensional space. To find a more universal data abstraction and build more universal systems, we propose the concept of big data abstraction, with metric space as a universal abstraction for AAL data types. Furthermore, to demonstrate how metric-space data abstraction works, we survey the state of the art in metric space indexing, a fundamental task in data management. Finally, open research issues are discussed. 地址: [Mao, Rui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China. [Xu, Honglong; Li, Yan] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

The massive capacity of video imposes the demand of automatic video identification techniques which are very important to various applications such as content based video retrieval and copy detection. Therefore, as a challenging problem, video identification has drawn more and more attention in the past decade. The problem addressed here is to identify a given video clip in a given set of video sequences. In this paper, a robust video identification algorithm based on local non-negative matrix factorization (LNMF) is presented. First, some concepts about LNMF are described and the way of finding the factorized matrix is given. Then, its convergence is proven. In addition, a LNMF based shot detection method is proposed for constructing a video identification framework completely based on LNMF. Finally, a LNMF based identification approach using Hausdorff distance is introduced and a two-stage search process is proposed. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed approach to many kinds of content-preserved distortions and its superiority to other algorithms. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH.

Under the control of the psychoacoustic model, the significant part of integer modified discrete cosine transform (IntMDCT) coefficients are adaptively modified during MPEG-4 SLS audio compression taking robustness, imperceptibility and security into consideration. The chaotic watermark generated by chaos is simply embedded to ensure security. Moreover, the adaptive spread spectrum method is exploited to further tradeoff robustness and transparency of this scheme. Extensive experimental results confirm that the proposed scheme is robust against common signal processing attacks while the inaudibility of the scheme is preserved. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH.

In the proposed method, when the target maneuvers, in order to reduce the effect on performance duo to the increasing variance of the prior distribution, a modified prior distribution based on the current measurement is proposed. In the update step, the first two moments of the modified prior distribution is approximately estimated based on the least square estimation method and Gauss-Hermite quadrature rule, and the posterior distribution is jointly updated by using the prior distribution and the modified prior distribution. Moreover, in order to adaptively choose the estimated results obtained by the prior PDF and the truncated prior PDF, a fuzzy logic approach in which a Gaussian membership function is employed is proposed to determine the weight a. Finally, the experiment results show that the proposed algorithm results in more accurate tracking than the existing one, namely, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), the quadrature Kalman filter (QKF), interact multiple model extended Kalman filter (IMMEKF) and multiple model Rao-Blackwellized particle filter (MMRBPF).

However, most works only exploit users' homogeneous implicit feedbacks such as users' transaction records from "bought" activities, and ignore the other type of implicit feedbacks like examination records from "browsed" activities. The latter are usually more abundant though they are associated with high uncertainty w.r.t. users' true preferences. In this paper, we study a new recommendation problem called heterogeneous implicit feedbacks (HIF), where the fundamental challenge is the uncertainty of the examination records. As a response, we design a novel preference learning algorithm to learn a confidence for each uncertain examination record with the help of transaction records. Specifically, we generalize Bayesian personalized ranking (BPR), a seminal pairwise learning algorithm for homogeneous implicit feedbacks, and learn the confidence adaptively, which is thus called adaptive Bayesian personalized ranking (ABPR). ABPR has the merits of uncertainty reduction on examination records and accurate pairwise preference learning on implicit feedbacks. Experimental results on two public data sets show that ABPR is able to leverage uncertain examination records effectively, and can achieve better recommendation performance than the state-of-the-art algorithm on various ranking-oriented evaluation metrics.

Specifically, balancing the energy consumption among sensors can prevent losing some critical sensors prematurely due to energy exhaustion so that the WSN's coverage can be maintained. However, the heterogeneous hostile operating conditionsdifferent transmission distances, varying fading environments, and distinct residual energy levelshave made energy balancing a highly challenging task. A key issue in energy balancing is to maintain a certain level of energy fairness in the whole WSN. To achieve energy fairness, the transmission load should be allocated among sensors such that, regardless of a sensor's working conditions, no sensor node should be unfairly overburdened. In this paper, we model the transmission load assignment in WSN as a game. With our novel utility function that can capture realistic sensors' behaviors, we have derived the Nash equilibrium (NE) of the energy balancing game. Most importantly, under the NE, while each sensor can maximize its own payoff, the global objective of energy balancing can also be achieved. Moreover, by incorporating a penalty mechanism, the delivery rate and delay constraints imposed by the WSN application can be satisfied. Through extensive simulations, our game theoretic approach is shown to be effective in that adequate energy balancing is achieved and, consequently, network lifetime is significantly enhanced.

Although large amount of protein-protein interaction data for different species has been generated by high-throughput experimental techniques, the number is still limited compared to the total number of possible PPIs. Furthermore, the experimental methods for identifying PPIs are both time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is urgent and challenging to develop automated computational methods to efficiently and accurately predict PPIs. In this article, we propose a novel MapReduce-based parallel SVM model for large-scale predicting protein-protein interactions only using the information of protein sequences. First, the local sequential features represented by autocorrelation descriptor are extracted from protein sequences. Then the MapReduce framework is employed to train support vector machine (SVM) classifiers in a distributed way, obtaining significant improvement in training time while maintaining a high level of accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed parallel algorithms not only can tackle large-scale PPIs dataset, but also perform well in terms of the evaluation metrics of speedup and accuracy. Consequently, the proposed approach can be considered as a new promising and powerful tools for large-scale predicting PPI with excellent performance and less time. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

However, the experimental methods for detecting PPIs are both time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, computational prediction of protein interactions are becoming increasingly popular, which can provide an inexpensive way of predicting the most likely set of interactions at the entire proteome scale, and can be used to complement experimental approaches. Although much progress has already been achieved in this direction, the problem is still far from being solved and new approaches are still required to overcome the limitations of the current prediction models. Results: In this work, a sequence-based approach is developed by combining a novel Multi-scale Continuous and Discontinuous (MCD) feature representation and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The MCD representation gives adequate consideration to the interactions between sequentially distant but spatially close amino acid residues, thus it can sufficiently capture multiple overlapping continuous and discontinuous binding patterns within a protein sequence. An effective feature selection method mRMR was employed to construct an optimized and more discriminative feature set by excluding redundant features. Finally, a prediction model is trained and tested based on SVM algorithm to predict the interaction probability of protein pairs. Conclusions: When performed on the yeast PPIs data set, the proposed approach achieved 91.36% prediction accuracy with 91.94% precision at the sensitivity of 90.67%. Extensive experiments are conducted to compare our method with the existing sequence-based method. Experimental results show that the performance of our predictor is better than several other state-of-the-art predictors, whose average prediction accuracy is 84.91%, sensitivity is 83.24%, and precision is 86.12%. Achieved results show that the proposed approach is very promising for predicting PPI, so it can be a useful supplementary tool for future proteomics studies.

Although many compression algorithms have been proposed for DNA reads in NGS data, few methods are designed specifically to handle the quality scores. Results: In this paper we present a memetic algorithm (MA) based NGS quality score data compressor, namely MMQSC. The algorithm extracts raw quality score sequences from FASTQ formatted files, and designs compression codebook using MA based multimodal optimization. The input data is then compressed in a substitutional manner. Experimental results on five representative NGS data sets show that MMQSC obtains higher compression ratio than the other state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, MMQSC is a lossless reference-free compression algorithm, yet obtains an average compression ratio of 22.82% on the experimental data sets. Conclusions: The proposed MMQSC compresses NGS quality score data effectively. It can be utilized to improve the overall compression ratio on FASTQ formatted files. 地址: [Zhou, Jiarui] Zhejiang Univ, Coll Biomed Engn & Instrument Sci, Hangzhou 310027, Zhejiang, Peoples R China.

However, this also poses a great challenge to analyze the behavior and glean insights into the complex, large data. In this paper, we introduce LoyalTracker, a visual analytics system to track user loyalty and switching behavior towards multiple search engines from the vast amount of user log data. We propose a new interactive visualization technique (flow view) based on a flow metaphor, which conveys a proper visual summary of the dynamics of user loyalty of thousands of users over time. Two other visualization techniques, a density map and a word cloud, are integrated to enable analysts to gain further insights into the patterns identified by the flow view. Case studies and the interview with domain experts are conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of our technique in understanding user loyalty and switching behavior in search engines. 地址: [Shi, Conglei; Qu, Huamin] Hong Kong Univ Sci & Technol, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

The bit-rate switching mechanism, performed at client side, plays a key role in determining QoE metrics. In this paper, we present the first analytical framework to compute starvation probability of playout buffer, continuous playback time and mean video quality, given the bit-rate switching logics. Wireless channel is modeled as a continuous time Markov process, and playout buffer is modeled as a fluid queue with Markov modulated fluid arrival. We construct a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to characterize the dynamics of starvation probability and expected continuous playback time with regard to buffer length, and simple models to analyze mean bit-rate for different bit-rate switching algorithms. Our framework is very general in that by adding appropriate parameters, it can be utilized to predict the QoE metrics of dynamic adaptive streaming with a variety of features: i) buffer-aware bit-rate switching ii) (im) patience of the user, and iii) receiver-side flow control. 地址: [Xu, Yuedong] Fudan Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Shanghai 200433, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Radio frequency (RF) based technologies play an important role in indoor localization, since Radio Signal Strength (RSS) can be easily measured by various wireless devices without additional cost. Among these, radio map based technologies (also referred as fingerprinting technologies) are attractive due to high accuracy and easy deployment. However, these technologies have not been extensively applied on real environment for two fatal limitations. First, it is hard to localize multiple objects. When the number of target objects is unknown, constructing a radio map of multiple objects is almost impossible. Second, environment changes will generate different multipath signals and severely disturb the RSS measurement, making laborious retraining inevitable. Motivated by these, in this paper, we propose a novel approach, called Line-of-sight radio map matching, which only reserves the LOS signal among nodes. It leverages frequency diversity to eliminate the multipath behavior, making RSS more reliable than before. We implement our system MODLoc based on TelosB sensor nodes and commercial 802.11 NICs with Channel State Information (CSI) as well. Through extensive experiments, it shows that the accuracy does not decrease when localizing multiple targets in a dynamic environment. Our work outperforms the traditional methods by about 60 percent. More importantly, no calibration is required in such environment. Furthermore, our approach presents attractive flexibility, making it more appropriate for general RF-based localization studies than just the radio map based localization. 地址: [Zhang, Dian; Wu, Kaishun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Long term tracking is a challenging task for many applications. In this paper, we propose a novel tracking approach that can adapt various appearance changes such as illumination, motion, and occlusions, and owns the ability of robust reacquisition after drifting. We utilize a condensation-based method with an online support vector machine as a reliable observation model to realize adaptive tracking. To redetect the target when drifting, a cascade detector based on random ferns is proposed. It can detect the target robustly in real time. After redetection, we also come up with a new refinement strategy to improve the tracker's performance by removing the support vectors corresponding to possible wrong updates by a matching template. Extensive comparison experiments on typical and challenging benchmark dataset illustrate a robust and encouraging performance of the proposed approach. 地址: [Yang, Tianyu; Li, Baopu] Chinese Acad Sci, Shenzhen Inst Adv Technol, Shenzhen 518055, Peoples R China.

Locality, compactness and consistency are considered as the key principles in distance metric learning. However, the existing metric learning methods just consider one or two of them. In this paper, we develop a multi-granularity distance learning technique. First, a new index, neighborhood granule margin, which simultaneously considers locality, compactness and consistency of neighborhood, is introduced to evaluate a distance metric. By maximizing neighborhood granule margin, we formulate the distance metric learning problem as a sample pair classification problem, which can be solved by standard support vector machine solvers. Then a set of distance metrics are learned in different granular spaces. The weights of the granular spaces are learned through optimizing the margin distribution. Finally, the decisions from different granular spaces are combined with weighted voting. Experiments on UCI datasets, gender classification and object categorization tasks show that the proposed method is superior to the state-of-the-art distance metric learning algorithms.

However, the existing SIFT algorithms cannot extract features from multispectral images directly. This paper puts forward a novel algorithmic framework based on the SIFT for multispectral images. Firstly, with the theory of the geometric algebra (GA), a new representation of multispectral image including spatial and spectral information is put forward and discussed. Secondly, a new method for obtaining the scale space of the multispectral image is proposed. Thirdly, following the procedures of the SIFT, the GA based difference of Gaussian images are computed and the keypoints can be detected in the GA space. Fourthly, the feature points are finally detected and described in the mathematical framework of the GA. Finally, the comparison results show that the GA-SIFT outperforms some previously reported SIFT algorithms in the feature extraction from a multispectral image, and it is comparable with its counterparts in the feature extraction of color images, indicating good performance in various applications of image analysis.

In this paper, we analyze the period distribution of this map. A systematic approach for addressing the general period distribution problem for any integer value of the modulus N is outlined, followed by a complete analysis for the case of prime N. The analysis is based on similar techniques studying linear feedback shift register (LFSR) sequences. Together with our previous results when N is a power of a prime [1,2], the period distribution of the cat map is characterized nearly completely for any integer N. Our results are also useful for evaluating the security of the cryptographic and steganographic algorithms based on the cat map as well as computing all unstable periodic orbits of the chaotic Arnold cat map.

In this paper, the identification and classification of respiratory disorders based on the enhanced perceptual and cepstral feature set (PerCepD) is proposed. The hybrid PerCepD feature can capture the time-frequency characteristics of BS very well. Thus, it is very effective for the exploration and classification of normal and pathological BS related data. The classification models based on support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) have been adopted to achieve automatic detection from BS data. The high detection accuracy results validate the performance of the proposed feature sets and classification model. The experimental results also demonstrate that the high accuracy of the pathological BS data can provide reliable diagnostic suggestions for breath disorders, such as flu, pneumonia and bronchitis.

This paper first provides a systematic analysis of the multilinear extensions for the most popular methods by using alignment techniques, thereby obtaining a general tensor alignment framework. From this framework, it is easy to show that the manifold learning based tensor learning methods are intrinsically different from the alignment techniques. Based on the alignment framework, a robust tensor learning method called sparse tensor alignment (STA) is then proposed for unsupervised tensor feature extraction. Different from the existing tensor learning methods, L-1- and L-2-norms are introduced to enhance the robustness in the alignment step of the STA. The advantage of the proposed technique is that the difficulty in selecting the size of the local neighborhood can be avoided in the manifold learning based tensor feature extraction algorithms. Although STA is an unsupervised learning method, the sparsity encodes the discriminative information in the alignment step and provides the robustness of STA. Extensive experiments on the well-known image databases as well as action and hand gesture databases by encoding object images as tensors demonstrate that the proposed STA algorithm gives the most competitive performance when compared with the tensor-based unsupervised learning methods. 地址: [Lai, Zhihui; Xu, Yong] Harbin Inst Technol, Biocomp Res Ctr, Shenzhen Grad Sch, Shenzhen 518055, Peoples R China.

MSPCA can be viewed as a further extension of the classical principal component analysis (PCA), sparse PCA (SPCA) and the recently proposed multilinear PCA (MPCA). The key operation of MSPCA is to rewrite the MPCA into multilinear regression forms and relax it for sparse regression. Differing from the recently proposed MPCA, MSPCA inherits the sparsity from the SPCA and iteratively learns a series of sparse projections that capture most of the variation of the tensor data. Each nonzero element in the sparse projections is selected from the most important variables/factors using the elastic net. Extensive experiments on Yale, Face Recognition Technology face databases, and COIL-20 object database encoded the object images as second-order tensors, and Weizmann action database as third-order tensors demonstrate that the proposed MSPCA algorithm has the potential to outperform the existing PCA-based subspace learning algorithms. 地址: [Lai, Zhihui; Xu, Yong] Harbin Inst Technol, Shenzhen Grad Sch, Biocomp Res Ctr, Shenzhen 518055, Peoples R China.

However, it suffers from interference terms such as noise and non-overlapped regions. In this paper, a novel variant of the phase correlation approach is proposed, in which 2-D translation is estimated by projection-based subspace phase correlation (SPC). Conventional wisdom has suggested that such an approach can only amount to a compromise solution between accuracy and efficiency. In this work, however, we prove that the original SPC and the further introduced gradient-based SPC can provide robust solution to zero-mean and non-zero-mean noise, and the latter is also used to model the interference term of non-overlapped regions. Comprehensive results from synthetic data and MRI images have fully validated our methodology. Due to its substantially lower computational complexity, the proposed method offers additional advantages in terms of efficiency and can lend itself to very fast implementations for a wide range of applications where speed is at a premium.

We introduce the weighted feature space in which the global separability between different classes is maximized and the local similarity of the neighboring data points is preserved. By integrating the global and local structures, a general optimization framework is formulated. We propose a simple solution to this problem, avoiding the matrix eigen-decomposition procedure which is often computationally expensive. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our approach and confirm that utilizing labeled and unlabeled data together does help feature selection with small number of labeled samples. 地址: [Pan, Feng; Song, Guangwei; Gan, Xiaobing; Gu, Qiwei] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Management, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Song, GW (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Management, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: fpan@szu.edu.cn; felixp@foxmail.com 第 107 条,共 274 条 标题: Measuring the impact of MVC attack in large complex networks 作者: Li, RH (Li, Rong-Hua); Yu, JX (Yu, Jeffrey Xu); Huang, X (Huang, Xin); Cheng, H (Cheng, Hong); Shang, ZC (Shang, Zechao) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 1 被引频次合计: 1 摘要: Measuring the impact of network attack is an important issue in network science. In this paper, we study the impact of maximal vertex coverage (MVC) attack in large complex networks, where the attacker aims at deleting as many edges of the network as possible by attacking a small fraction of nodes. First, we present two metrics to measure the impact of MVC attack. To compute these metrics, we propose an efficient randomized greedy algorithm with near-optimal performance guarantee. Second, we generalize the MVC attack into an uncertain setting, in which a node is deleted by the attacker with a prior probability. We refer to the MVC attack under such uncertain environment as the probabilistic MVC attack Based on the probabilistic MVC attack, we propose two adaptive metrics, and then present an adaptive greedy algorithm for calculating such metrics accurately and efficiently. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on 20 real datasets. The results show that P2P and co-authorship networks are extremely robust under the MVC attack while both the online social networks and the Email communication networks exhibit vulnerability under the MVC attack. In addition, the results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms for computing the proposed metrics. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

This paper generalizes the IC problem in that both the packet requested by a receiver and the packets in its cache can be linear combinations of the packets. To minimize the number of transmissions required, a heuristic algorithm based on the idea of partitioning the users into coding groups is designed. To realize this idea, a polynomial time algorithm to determine whether a set of users form a coding group over the binary field or a field with a size larger than the number of users is constructed. For users that form a coding group, the corresponding encoding vector can be also found. A lower bound is derived in order to evaluate the performance of the heuristic algorithm. Numerical results show that the number of transmissions required by the heuristic algorithm and the lower bound both grow roughly linearly with the number of users, and the heuristic algorithm outperforms some benchmark algorithms. 地址: [Dai, Mingjun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

To realise the potential gain, it is important to design cooperative strategies for some representative scenarios. This survey deals with three basic wireless relay channels, namely, the parallel relay channel, the multiple-access relay channel and the broadcast relay channel. For the first channel, which models a single unicast connection, various forwarding strategies are studied. For the second and third channels, which model, respectively, the uplink and downlink scenarios with multiple unicast connections; network codes that exploit the possibility of coding among the connections are studied. The common aim pertaining to the studies of all these three channels is to use the limited radio resource in the most efficient way. Beside the aforementioned conventional works, studies that have state-of-the-art assumptions for relay networks, including outdated channel state information at the transmitter, full duplex relay and practical rateless-coded cooperation, are also extensively reviewed.

Since security proofs in the random oracle model can only be viewed as heuristic arguments and cannot ensure the security in the real implementation, certificateless signature schemes with security proofs in the standard model (i.e. without random oracles) is more desirable. Some attempts have been devoted to propose certificateless signature schemes in the standard model, whereas all of these schemes are later shown to be either insecure or flawed in the security proofs. Recently, a new certificateless signature scheme in the standard model has been proposed. However, in this study the authors show that this scheme cannot resist the key replacement attack, and hence it is not existentially unforgeable. 地址: [Guan, Chaowen; Weng, Jian; Deng, Robert H.] Singapore Management Univ, Sch Informat Syst, Singapore 178902, Singapore.

This paper presents a novel design method for PID controllers based on the binary-coded extremal optimization algorithm (BCEO). The basic idea behind the proposed method is encoding the ND parameters into a binary string, evaluating the control performance by a more reasonable index than the integral of absolute error (IAE) and the integral of time weighted absolute error (ITAE), updating the solution by the selection based on power-law probability distribution and binary mutation for the selected bad elements. The experimental results on some benchmark instances have shown that the proposed BCEO-based PID design method is simpler, more efficient and effective than the existing popular evolutionary algorithms, such as the adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA), the self-organizing genetic algorithm (SOGA) and probability based binary particle swarm optimization (PBPSO) for single-variable plants. Moreover, the superiority of the BCEO method to AGA and PBPSO is demonstrated by the experimental results on the multivariable benchmark plant. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

A data stream is partitioned into a sequence of time windows and the records in each window are assumed to carry a number of concepts represented as clusters. A data labeling algorithm is proposed to identify the concepts or clusters of a window from the concepts of the preceding window. The expression of a concept is presented and the distance between two concepts in two consecutive windows is defined to analyze the change of concepts in consecutive windows. Finally, a trend analysis algorithm is proposed to compute the trend of concept change in a data stream over the sequence of consecutive time windows. The methods for measuring the significance of an attribute that causes the concept change and the outlier degrees of objects are presented to reveal the causes of concept change. Experiments on real data sets are presented to demonstrate the benefits of the trend analysis method. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

MutualCascade improves the classic method of cascade to remove irrelevant and redundant features. The mutual correlation coefficient is utilized as a criterion to determine whether a feature should be chosen or not. Experimental results show that the MutualCascade method is more efficient and effective than Voila and Jones' cascade and some other Adaboost-based method, and is comparable with HOG-based methods. It also demonstrates a higher performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 2 摘要: The prime target of multi-modal optimization is to find multiple global and local optima of a problem in one single run. Differential evolution is a recently proposed stochastic optimization technique. Though variants of differential evolution (DE) are highly effective in locating single global optimum, few DE algorithms perform well when solving multi-optima problems. In this paper, a modified Fitness Euclidean-distance Ratio (FER) technique is incorporated into DE to enhance the DE's ability of locating and maintaining multiple peaks. The proposed algorithm is tested on a number of benchmark test functions and the experimental results show that the proposed simple algorithm performs better comparing with a number of state-of-the-art multimodal optimization approaches.

The proposed BCF extend original bacterial foraging algorithm to adaptive and cooperative mode by combining bacterial chemotaxis, cell-to-cell communication, and a self-adaptive foraging strategy. The cell-to-cell communication enables the historical search experience sharing among the bacterial colony that can significantly improve convergence. With the self-adaptive strategy, each bacterium can be characterized by focused and deeper exploitation of the promising regions and wider exploration of other regions of the search space. A rigorous performance analysis is given where the proposed algorithm is benchmarked against four state-of-the-art reference algorithms using both a classical and a composition test function suites. The individual and collective bacterial foraging behaviors of the proposed algorithmic model are also studied. Statistical analysis of all these tests highlights the significant performance improvement due to the beneficial combination and shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the reference algorithms.

A new physical-layer network coding (PNC) method is proposed, referred to as channel-quantized PNC (CQ-PNC), that can achieve full diversity gain of K. The proposed method converts K received signals at the relay into two signals by a QR decomposition. The first one is a weighted summation of the two users' messages and the second one is a scaled version of one user's message. Then, the first signal is quantized at the relay by using the channel coefficient and the quantization error is cancelled by using the side information of the second signal. Finally, a Gaussian-integer weighted summation of the two users' messages is obtained, mapped to network codeword, and then broadcast to the two users. It is proved that the proposed CQ-PNC can achieve the full diversity gain of K with receiver side channel information, low computational complexity and symbol level synchronization. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method obtains optimum performance results with negligible gap. 地址: [Zhang, Shengli] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen MCSP Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

It is mainly suffered from the following two threats: (i) data at rest are stolen; and (ii) data in transmission are intercepted. The threats may lead to serious problems. For example, personal private data eavesdropping may lead to legal problems and credit crisis, while company information leaking may cause huge economic loss. To tackle such security threat in cloud distributed storage system, we propose a novel scheme to produce dynamic size of shares with multiple iterations of secret sharing scheme. A file is partitioned into multiple file shares, and one of them is taken as a new file to be further partitioned into smaller size with low additional computational cost and data expansion. The small-size file share is stored at user terminal as a necessary component to recover original file. It can be used in scenarios that user terminal, such as smart phone, is one of nodes in distributed storage systems. In this case, attackers cannot recover information through eavesdropping shares transmitted in network. Storage service providers cannot also obtain useful information through file shares stored online without the participant of the small-size file share at user terminal. Therefore, sensitive data can be protected confidentially.

The proposed regularization, referred to as ideal regularization, is a linear function of the kernel matrix to be learned. The ideal regularization allows us to develop efficient algorithms to exploit labels. Three applications of the ideal regularization are considered. Firstly, we use the ideal regularization to incorporate the labels into a standard kernel, making the resulting kernel more appropriate for learning tasks. Next, we employ the ideal regularization to learn a data-dependent kernel matrix from an initial kernel matrix (which contains prior similarity information, geometric structures, and labels of the data). Finally, we incorporate the ideal regularization to some state-of-the-art kernel learning problems. With this regularization, these learning problems can be formulated as simpler ones which permit more efficient solvers. Empirical results show that the ideal regularization exploits the labels effectively and efficiently. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

A good understanding of user behavior in online Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems can help us design, configure and manage video content distribution. With the help of a major VoD service provider, we conducted a detailed study of user behavior watching streamed videos over the Internet. We engineered the video player at the client side to collect user behavior reports for over 540 million sessions. In order to isolate the possible effect of session quality of experience (QoE) on user behavior, we use only the sessions with perfect QoE, and leave out those sessions with QoE impairments (such as freezes). Our main finding is that users spend a lot of time browsing: viewing part of one video after another, and only occasionally (around 20% of the time) watching a video to its completion. We consider seek (jump to a new position of the video) as a special form of browsing repeating partial viewing of the same video. Our analysis leads to a user behavior model in which a user transitions through a random number of short views before a longer view, and repeats the process a random number of times. This model can be considered an extension, and a more detailed alternative to the closed queueing network formulation introduced by Wu et al. (2009) [1]. As an application of our user behavior model, we use it to measure video popularity. We study the similarity of our approach to subjective evaluation and simple view count based metric, and conclude our approach gives results closer to subjective evaluation. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

In this article, we develop a cluster of uniform randomized trees (URTs) as an efficient indexing structure to perform fast near-duplicate image detection. The main contribution in this article is that we introduce "uniformity" and "randomness" into the indexing construction. The uniformity requires classifying the object images into the same scale subsets. Such a decision makes good use of the two facts in near-duplicate image detection, namely: (1) the number of categories is huge; (2) a single category usually contains only a small number of images. Therefore, the uniform distribution is very beneficial to narrow down the search space and does not significantly degrade the detection accuracy. The randomness is embedded into the generation of feature subspace and projection direction, improveing the flexibility of indexing construction. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the popular locality-sensitive hashing and more stable and flexible than the traditional KD-tree. 地址: [Lei, Yanqiang] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci Technol, Guangzhou 510006, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Improving channel utilization is a well-known issue in wireless networks. In traditional point-to-point wireless communication, significant efforts had been made by the existing studies on enhancing the utilization of the channel access time. However, in the emerging wireless network using MU-MIMO, considering only the time domain in channel utilization is not sufficient. As multiple transmitters are allowed to transmit packets simultaneously to the same AP, allowing more antennas at AP would lead to higher channel utilization. Thus, the channel utilization in MU-MIMO should consider both time and spatial domains, i.e., the channel access time and the antenna usage, which have not been considered in the existing methods. In this paper, we point out that the fundamental problem is lacking of the antenna information of contention nodes in channel contention. To address this issue, we propose a new MAC-PHY architecture design, CUTS, to allow distributed nodes effectively contend for the channel and utilize the channel in both domains. Particularly, CUTS adopts interference nulling to attach the antenna information in channel contention. Meanwhile, techniques such as channel contention in frequency domain and ACK in frequency domain using self-jamming are adopted. Through the software defined radio-based real experiments and extensive simulations, we demonstrate the feasibility of our design and illustrate that CUTS provides better channel utilization with the gain over IEEE 802.11 reaching up to 470 percent. 地址: [Li, Haochao; Zhang, Qian; Ni, Lionel M.] Hong Kong Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, HKUST Fok Ying Tung Grad Sch, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 3 被引频次合计: 3 摘要: In traditional radio-based localization methods, the target object has to carry a transmitter (e. g., active RFID), a receiver (e.g., 802.11 x detector), or a transceiver (e. g., sensor node). However, in some applications, such as safe guard systems, it is not possible to meet this precondition. In this paper, we propose a model of signal dynamics to allow the tracking of a transceiver-free object. Based on radio signal strength indicator (RSSI), which is readily available in wireless communication, three centralized tracking algorithms, and one distributed tracking algorithm are proposed to eliminate noise behaviors and improve accuracy. The midpoint and intersection algorithms can be applied to track a single object without calibration, while the best-cover algorithm has higher tracking accuracy but requires calibration. The probabilistic cover algorithm is based on distributed dynamic clustering. It can dramatically improve the localization accuracy when multiple objects are present. Our experimental test-bed is a grid sensor array based on MICA2 sensor nodes. The experimental results show that the localization accuracy for single object can reach about 0.8 m and for multiple objects is about 1 m. 地址: [Zhang, Dian; Lu, Kezhong; Mao, Rui; Feng, Yuhong; Ming, Zhong] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

The presented algorithm adopts the K-means algorithm to execute the clustering analyses for all customers, generates a frog population according to the result of the clustering analyses, and then proceeds to the three-phase process. In the first phase, a cluster MSFLA local search is carried out for each cluster. In the second phase, the algorithm selects good individuals through a binary tournament to construct a new population and then performs a global optimization for all customers and depots using the global MSFLA. In the third phase, a cluster adjustment is implemented for the population to generate new clusters. These procedures continue until the convergence criterion is satisfied. The experimental results show that our algorithm can achieve a high quality solution within a short runtime for the MDVRP, the MDVRP with time windows (MDVRPTW) and the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP). The proposed algorithm is suitable for solving large-scale problems. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Most of existing BTC-based watermarking or data hiding methods embed information in BTC compressed images by modifying the BTC encoding stage or BTC-compressed data, resulting in watermarked images with bad quality. Other than existing BTC-based watermarking schemes, our scheme does not really perform the BTC compression on images during the embedding process but uses the parity of BTC quantization data to guide the watermark embedding and extraction processes. In our scheme, we use a binary image as the original watermark. During the embedding process, the original cover image is first partitioned into non-overlapping 4x4 blocks. Then, BTC is performed on each block to obtain its BTC quantized high mean and low mean. According to the parity of high mean and the parity of low mean, two watermark bits are embedded in each block by modifying the pixel values in the block to make sure that the parity of high mean and the parity of low mean in the modified block are equal to the two watermark bits. During the extraction process, BTC is first performed on each block to obtain its high mean and low mean. By checking the parity of high mean and the parity of low mean, we can extract the two watermark bits in each block. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is fragile to most image processing operations and various kinds of attacks while preserving the invisibility very well, thus the proposed scheme can be used for image authentication. 地址: [Zhao, Dongning; Xie, Weixin] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, ATR Natl Def Technol Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Zhao, DN (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, ATR Natl Def Technol Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: zhaodongning1979@gmail.com 第 128 条,共 274 条 标题: An Improved Video Identification Scheme Based on Video Tomography 作者: Ji, QG (Ji, Qing-Ge); Tan, ZF (Tan, Zhi-Feng); Lu, ZM (Lu, Zhe-Ming); Zhang, Y (Zhang, Yong) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: In recent years, with the popularization of video collection devices and the development of the Internet, it is easy to copy original digital videos and distribute illegal copies quickly through the Internet. It becomes a critical task to uphold copyright laws, and this problem will require a technical solution. Therefore, as a challenging problem, copy detection or video identification becomes increasingly important. The problem addressed here is to identify a given video clip in a given set of video sequences. In this paper, an extension to the video identification approach based on video tomography is presented. First, the feature extraction process is modified to enhance the reliability of the shot signature with its size unchanged. Then, a new similarity measurement between two shot signatures is proposed to address the problem generated by the original approach when facing the query shot with a short length. In addition, the query scope is extended from one shot only to one clip (several consecutive shots) by giving a new definition of similarity between two clips and describing a search algorithm which can save much of the computation cost. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is more suitable for identifying shots with short lengths than the original approach. The clip query approach performs well in the experiment and it also shows strong robustness to data loss. 地址: [Ji, Qing-Ge; Tan, Zhi-Feng] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Guangzhou 510006, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

To perform some subsequent processing, such as digital audio forensics, audio enhancement and blind audio quality assessment, it is necessary to identify its compression history. In this article, we will investigate how to identify a decompressed wave audio that went through one of three popular compression schemes, includingMP3, WMA (windows media audio) and AAC (advanced audio coding). By analyzing the corresponding frequency coefficients, including modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), of those original audio clips and their decompressed versions with different compression schemes and bit rates, we propose several statistics to identify the compression scheme as well as the corresponding bit rate previously used for a given WAV signal. The experimental results evaluated on 8,800 audio clips with various contents have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, some potential applications of the proposed method are discussed. 地址: [Luo, Da; Yang, Rui] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci Technol, Guangzhou 510006, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

The planar-array of micro-blazed grating has been proposed to realize 2D PST based on its interesting properties such as high diffraction efficiency, small size, high degree of integration, and easy to fabricate. 2D PST could be realized in free space through controling the etching direction and the period of micro-blazed grating, which results in signal beams can reach the desired spatial position. Unlike the conventional method depending on the operation of dividing, magnification, interlacing, and superimposing, this approach, which mainly relies on the diffractive properties of signal beams and the distribution of light intensity, presents a single diffractive element to perform 2D PST. Thus, this approach has the advantages of high energy efficiency, high feasibility, compact in structure, and easy to integrate. The theoretical analyses and the experimental results show that it should be helpful in optical interconnection network, especially, in PS omega network. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Scorecards are the most widely used approaches for corporate credit ratings nowadays. However, they have heavy dependency on the involvement of users. Al technologies, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have demonstrated their remarkable performance on automatic corporate credit ratings. Corporate credit ratings involve various rating models, and their outputs can scale to multiple levels and be used for various applications. Such inherent complexity gives rise to the requirement of higher demands on the effectiveness of learning algorithms regarding the accuracy, overfitness, error distribution, and output distribution. Most research works show that SVMs have better performance than ANNs on accuracy. This paper carries out a comprehensive experimental comparison study over the effectiveness of four learning algorithms, i.e., BP, ELM, I-ELM, and SVM over a data set consisting of real financial data for corporate credit ratings. The results are presented and discussed in the paper. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The verification process can greatly benefit from human assistance through specification annotations, but this process requires intellectual effort from users and is error-prone. In this paper, we propose a new approach to program verification that allows users to provide only partial specification to methods. Our approach will the refine the given annotation into a more complete specification by discovering missing constraints. The discovered constraints may involve both numerical and multi-set properties that could be later confirmed or revised by users. We further augment our approach by requiring partial specification to be given only for primary methods. Specifications for loops and auxiliary methods can then be systematically discovered by our augmented mechanism, with the help of information propagated from the primary methods. Our work is aimed at verifying beyond shape properties, with the eventual goal of analysing full functional properties for pointer-based data structures. Initial experiments have confirmed that we can automatically refine partial specifications with non-trivial constraints, thus making it easier for users to handle specifications with richer properties.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 1 被引频次合计: 1 摘要: Energy efficiency is the main concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to devices' limited battery power. Because the heavy burden of nodes that near the sink, this "energy hole problem" makes nodes near the sink have faster energy depletion than others. Because of this, the lifetime of WSNs, to some extent, is determined by the power consumption of communication between sink and sensing nodes that near the sink. To address this issue, we propose CSMA/SF (Shortest First) protocol to reduce power consumption of sink-node communication by minimizing energy cost in carrier sense during nodes' channel contention. CSMA/SF modifies existed CSMA/CA MAC protocol. Instead of complete contention-based, CSMA/SF ensures nodes remaining shorter message has higher priority in contention by implementing a distributed scheduling algorithm and incorporating Length Detection scheme. Further, CSMA/SF employs an Anti-Starvation mechanism to solve the starvation problem of shortest-first protocol. CSMA/SF also optimizes channel utilization by reducing the probability of collisions. We have implemented CSMA/SF into USRP2 platform and also conducted comprehensive simulations. The experimental results show that CSMA/SF can reduce overall energy consumption by around 20%. CSMA/SF can improve channel utilization up to 40%. 地址: [Wu, Kaishun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

However, few studies on such identification have been reported. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to identify electronic disguised voices. Since voice disguise, in essence, the modification of the frequency spectrum of speech signals, and mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs) can be used to well describe frequency spectral properties, MFCC-based features are supposed to be effective for the identification of disguised voices. In this paper, MFCC statistical moments including mean values and correlation coefficients are extracted as acoustic features. Then, an algorithm based on the extracted features and support vector machine classifiers is proposed to separate disguised voices from original voices. Extensive experiments show that the detection rates higher than 90% of the voices from various speech databases and disguised by various methods can be achieved, indicating that the identification performance of this algorithm is remarkable. 地址: [Wu, Haojun; Wang, Yong] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Guangzhou 510006, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Based on two case studies, we have demonstrated that high-throughput automation of Mass Frontier allows researchers to generate in silico mass spectral libraries in an automated and high-throughput fashion with little or no human intervention required. 地址: [Zhou, Jiarui] Zhejiang Univ, Coll Biomed Engn & Instrument Sci, Hangzhou 310027, Zhejiang, Peoples R China.

By OLDSE-I or OLDSE-II, the plant leaf images are mapped into a leaf subspace for analysis, which can detect the essential leaf manifold structure. Different from principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) which can only deal with flat Euclidean structures of plant leaf space, OLDSE-I and OLDSE-II not only inherit the advantages of local spline embedding (LSE), but makes full use of class information to improve discriminant power by introducing translation and rescaling models. The proposed OLDSE-I and OLDSE-II methods are applied to recognize the plant leaf and are examined using the ICL-PlantLeaf and Swedish plant leaf image databases. The numerical results show compared with MMC, LDA, SLPP, and LDSE, the proposed OLDSE-I and OLDSE-II methods can achieve higher recognition rate. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Such networks are more vulnerable to security attacks than conventional wired networks, and hence cryptographic schemes are usually used to ensure security for them. It is worth noting that the nodes in MANETs are with low computational power and communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links, and thus the deployed cryptographic schemes should usually be highly efficient in term of both computational cost and communication overhead. To ensure the data confidentiality for MANETs, in this paper, we present a new hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE) scheme, which enjoys the advantages of low computational cost and light communication overhead. We further propose a new hierarchical identity-based key encapsulation mechanism (HIBKEM) based on our HIBE scheme. The proposed HIBKEM scheme is fully secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack, and has a tight security reduction in the standard model. 地址: [He, Kai] Jinan Univ, Dept Comp Sci, Guangzhou 510632, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

As a promising solution, cognitive radio emerges and shows its advantages. It allows the unlicensed users to opportunistically access the spectrum not used by the licensed users. To ensure that the unlicensed users can identify the vacate spectrum fast and accurately without interfering the licensed users, cooperative sensing is explored to improve the sensing performance by leveraging spatial diversity. However, cooperation gain can be compromised dramatically with cooperation overhead. Furthermore, when sensing decisions are made, contention on spectrum access also contributes a lot to the control overhead, especially in the distributed networks. Motivated by this, we propose a novel MAC design, termed Frequency domain Cooperative sensing and Multi-channel contention (FCM) for Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs). FCM is proposed for OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation based communication systems, which moves cooperative sensing and multi-channel contention from time domain into frequency domain. Therefore, control overhead caused by cooperation and contention can be significantly reduced. Meanwhile, the sensing and access performance can be both guaranteed. Extensive simulation results show that FCM can effectively reduce the control overhead, and improve the average throughput by 220% over Traditional Cooperative MAC for CRAHNs. 地址: [Wang, Lu; Wu, Kaishun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

In the proposed algorithm, the interacting multiple model (IMM) approach is used to solve the maneuvering problem of target, and the false alarms generated by clutter are accommodated through a probabilistic data association filter (PDAF). To reduce the computational load, the association probability is substituted by fuzzy membership degree provided by a modified version of fuzzy clustering algorithm based on maximum entropy principle, and the "maximum validation distance" is also defined based on the discrimination factor, which enables the algorithm eliminate invalid measurements. Moreover, to avoid the unobservability problem of passive target tracking, a nonlinear measurement model of multiple passive sensors is formulated. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has advantages over the conventional IMM-PDAF algorithm in terms of simplicity and efficiency. (C) 2013 Elsevier GmbH.

Unfortunately, it tends not to be efficient enough for practical applications. For improving the efficiency issues and quickening the practical applications of the lattice-based public-key cryptosystems, an efficient homomorphic encryption scheme is presented in this paper, which is based on the learning with errors over rings (R-LWE) assumption, and its security is reducible to the hardness of the shortest vector problem in the worst case on ideal lattices. Furthermore, the scheme possesses homomorphism feature that encryption operations are consistent with message operations. The security analysis shows that the proposed encryption scheme is secure against chosen-plaintext attacks in the standard model. At the same time, the efficiency analysis and simulation results indicate that the scheme is much more efficient than previous lattice-based cryptosystems. 地址: [Wang, Ting; Yu, Jianping; Zhang, Peng; Xie, Xuan] Shenzhen Univ, ATR Key Lab Natl Def Technol, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Wang, T (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, ATR Key Lab Natl Def Technol, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: wangt809@163.com; yujp@szu.edu.cn; zhangpeng_aza@126.com; xiexuan200308@126.com 第 143 条,共 274 条 标题: Generalized selection combining with double threshold and performance analysis 作者: Xie, N (Xie, Ning); Liu, ZR (Liu, Zhaorong); Wang, R (Wang, Rui); Wang, H (Wang, Hui); Lin, XH (Lin, Xiaohui) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: In this paper, we propose a new diversity combining scheme to save power, which is called as the generalized selection combining with double threshold (DT-GSC). It selects the branch whose SNR is above an input threshold to combine, and this process will keep running until the combined output SNR is larger than an output threshold or until all paths are examined. The values of both thresholds are required to be predetermined on the basis of the practical communication conditions. For comparing the complexity of various combining schemes, we will show the mathematical formulas of the average number of path estimation and the average number of combined branches. Moreover, we will also compare the average bit-error-ratio performance of the proposed DT-GSC with absolute threshold GSC (AT-GSC) and output threshold MRC (OT-MRC). Numerical examples and simulation results show that the proposed DT-GSC leads to a lower complexity than the conventional AT-GSC and OT-MRC while it has a satisfactory performance.Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 地址: [Xie, Ning; Liu, Zhaorong; Wang, Rui; Wang, Hui; Lin, Xiaohui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

To address this issue, a family of Association-Based Active Access Control (ABAAC) models is proposed. In the minimal model ABAAC(0), users are assigned to roles while permissions are assigned to task-role associations. In a workflow case, to execute such an association some users assigned to its component role will be allocated. The association's assigned permissions can be performed by them during the task is running in the case. In ABAAC(1), a generalized association is employed to extract common authorizations from multiple associations. In ABAAC(2), a fine-grained separation of duty (SoD) is enforced among associations. In the maximal model ABAAC(3), all these features are integrated, and similar constraints can be specified more concisely. Using a software workflow, case validation is performed. Comparison with a representative association based MC model and the most scalable MC model so far indicates that: (1) enough scalability is achieved; (2) without decomposition of a task, different permissions can be authorized to multiple roles in it; (3) separation of more fine-grained duties than roles and tasks can be enforced.

However, the high-throughput experimental interaction data is prone to exhibit high level of noise. Despite the promising performance of current geometric approaches for increasing the reliability of PPI networks, it is still of major concern to find a better method that requires less structural assumptions and is more robust against the large fraction of noisy PPIs. In this paper, we propose a new approach called non-convex semantic embedding (NCSE) for assessing the reliability of interactions. Unlike previous approaches which seek to preserve a predefined distance matrix in the embedding space, NCSE tries to adaptively learn a Euclidean embedding under the simple geometric assumption of PPI networks. We also propose using non-convex cost function in order to improve the robustness of NCSE. The experimental results show that our approach substantially outperforms previous methods on PPI assessment problems. NCSE could thus facilitate further graph-based studies of PPIs and may help infer their hidden underlying biological knowledge. The Matlab source code of NCSE is freely available upon request.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 1 被引频次合计: 2 摘要: Effective coordination can dramatically reduce radio interference and avoid packet collisions for multistation wireless local area networks (WLANs). Coordination itself needs consume communication resource and thus competes with data transmission for the limited wireless radio resources. In traditional approaches, control frames and data packets are transmitted in an alternate manner, which brings a great deal of coordination overhead. In this paper, we propose a new communication model where the control frames can be "attached" to the data transmission. Thus, control messages and data traffic can be transmitted simultaneously and consequently the channel utilization can be improved significantly. We implement the idea in OFDM-based WLANs called hJam, which fully explores the physical layer features of the OFDM modulation method and allows one data packet and a number of control messages to be transmitted together. hJam is implemented on the GNU Radio testbed consisting of eight USRP2 nodes. We also conduct comprehensive simulations and the experimental results show that hJam can improve the WLANs efficiency by up to 200 percent compared with the existing 802.11 family protocols. 地址: [Wu, Kaishun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

However, the slow optimization process prohibits its real-time application. This is due to its high computational cost of similarity measurement and iterative refinement. Unfortunately, the structure-aware halftoning cannot be straightforwardly parallelized due to its data dependency nature. In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm to boost the optimization of the structure-aware halftoning. Our main idea is to exploit the spatial independence during the evaluation of the objective function and temporal independence among the iterations. Specifically, we introduce a parallel Poisson-disk algorithm during the selection of pixel swaps, which guarantees the independency between parallel processes. Graphics processing unit (GPU) implementation of the technique leads to a significant speedup without sacrificing the quality. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed parallel algorithm in generating structure-preserving bitonal images with much less time, especially for large images. 地址: [Wu, Huisi] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

However, how to increase utilization and throughput while reducing configuration and execution time overheads on large-scale data has become a great challenge for reconfigurable computing systems. In this paper, we employ a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to represent the tasks in an application. With considerations of task dependencies and resource constraints that are not sufficiently studied in literature, we propose two clustering scheduling strategies to reduce the number of configurations and the execution time of applications, while enhancing the utilization of field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices: One is a heuristic scheduling strategy and the other is a dynamic programming scheduling strategy. Experimental results indicate that our dynamic programming scheduling strategy can significantly reduce the number of configurations and improve the FPGA utilization, compared to the heuristic scheduling strategy.

One major drawback for ICA algorithms is its heavy computation load which is especially deteriorated in long-term signals. To solve this problem, the block-wise approach is proposed to improve the computational efficiency in this study. As ambiguities of variances and order of the separated components exist for ICA algorithms, signal reconstruction is an issue for block-wise approach. In this study, correlation coefficients (CC) of the short-term Fourier transform (STFT) among those acquired from the neighboring blocks are adopted for order permutation and phase correction of the separated signals. The weights of the separated signals are then normalized by the maximum amplitude of the corresponding one in previous block to avoid the variance ambiguity. Two robust ICA algorithms based on iterative matrix inversion approach, one with fixed nonlinear functions whereas another one with flexibly selected nonlinear functions, are implemented in both batch and block-wise processing for performance evaluation. Linearly mixed biopotential signals (ECG and EMG) and 60-Hz sinusoid are incorporated for the experiments. The results reveal that the proposed block-wise approach can attain the desired requirements in a more efficient way without loss of the separation performance. The proposed approach may be a potential tool for which the computational efficiency is an important issue. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In order to further improve the identification efficiency of tag anti-collision algorithms in RFID systems, several types of dynamic framed slotted ALOHA (DFSA) anti-collision algorithms are analyzed, and a new anti-collision algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm has the ability of identifying the time slot distribution which is selected by the tags within a reader's interrogation range in advance. Then the free time slots will be skipped when the reader queries each time slot. Also, the colliding tags will be immediately processed with additional time slots. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm takes fewer total number of time slots and has a higher efficiency of tag identification compared to the other four DFSA anti-collision algorithms. 地址: [He, Yejun; Wang, Xiaoye] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: He, YJ (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: heyejun@126.com; wangxiaoye2013@126.com 第 151 条,共 274 条 标题: A sequential GM-based PHD filter for a linear Gaussian system 作者: Liu, ZX (Liu ZongXiang); Xie, WX (Xie WeiXin); Wang, P (Wang Pin); Yu, Y (Yu You) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 3 被引频次合计: 5 摘要: The probability hypothesis. density (PHD) filter provides an efficiently parallel processing method for multi-target tracking. However, measurements have to be gathered for a scan period before the PHD filter can perform a recursion, therefore, significant delay may arise if the scan period is long. To reduce the delay in the PHD filter, we propose a sequential PHD filter which updates the posterior intensity whenever a new measurement becomes available. An implementation of the sequential PHD filter for a linear Gaussian system is also developed. The unique characteristic of the proposed filter is that it can retain the useful information of missed targets in the posterior intensity and sequentially handle the received measurements in time. 地址: [Liu ZongXiang; Xie WeiXin; Wang Pin; Yu You] Shenzhen Univ, ATR Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Liu, ZX (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, ATR Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: zongxiangliu@sohu.com 第 152 条,共 274 条 标题: Is local dominant orientation necessary for the classification of rotation invariant texture? 作者: Guo, ZH (Guo, Zhenhua); Li, Q (Li, Qin); Zhang, L (Zhang, Lin); You, J (You, Jane); Zhang, D (Zhang, David); Liu, WH (Liu, Wenhuang) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 3 被引频次合计: 3 摘要: Extracting local rotation invariant features is a popular method for the classification of rotation invariant texture. To address the issue of local rotation invariance, many algorithms based on anisotropic features were proposed. Usually a dominant orientation is found out first, and then anisotropic feature is extracted by this orientation. To validate whether local dominant orientation is necessary for the classification of rotation invariant texture, in this paper, two isotropic statistical texton based methods are proposed. These two methods are the counterparts of two state-of-the-art anisotropic texton based methods: maximum response 8 (MR8) and gray value image patch. Experimental results on three public databases show that local dominant orientation plays an important role when the training set is less; when training samples are enough, local dominant orientation may not be necessary.

The objectives in the Multi-objective Bacterial Foraging Optimization are maintained by a fitness survive mechanism. Bacteria with the smaller health values have the better chance to survive. Meanwhile, the main goal of multi-objective optimization problems is to obtain a superior non-dominated front which is closed to the true Pareto front. With identification of such features, the idea of integration between health sorting approach and pareto dominance mechanism are developed to search for Pareto-optimal set of problems. Moreover, strategy keeping a certain unfeasible border solutions based on a given probability is considered to improve the diversity of individuals. In addition, two different performance metrics: Diversity and Generational Distance are introduced as well to evaluate multi-objective optimization problems. Compared to two other multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms MOPSO and NSGA-II, simulation results show that in most cases, the proposed MBFO is able to find a much better spread of solutions and convergence to the true Pareto-optimal front faster. It suggests that MBFO is very promising in dealing with ordinary multi-objective optimization problems. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

We proposed a spatially based probability estimation using different spatial masks. For a given point on reference image, its corresponding register point is found along the search trajectory generated by optimizing Bhattacharyya coefficient between two windows centered at the points on the register and reference images. The outliers are further eliminated by analyzing statistical information on the displacements of the candidate register points. Experiments on various monomodal medical images show that the proposed method is feasible and fast.

The interference channel, however, is unknown (the blind part). Such a priori knowledge is common in wireless relay networks. For example, a relay could be relaying data that was previously transmitted by a node A. If node A is now receiving a signal from another node B, the interference from the relay is actually self-information known to node A. Besides the case of self-information, the node could also have overheard or received the interference data in a prior transmission by another node. Directly removing the known interference requires accurate estimate of the interference channel, which may be difficult in many situations. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme, Blind Known-Interference Cancellation (BKIC), to cancel known interference without interference channel information. BKIC consists of two steps. The first step combines adjacent symbols to cancel the interference, exploiting the fact that the channel coefficients are almost the same between successive symbols. After such interference cancellation, however, the signal of interest is distorted. The second step recovers the signal of interest amidst the distortion. We propose two algorithms for the critical second steps. The first algorithm (BKIC-S) is based on the principle of smoothing. It is simple and has near optimal performance in the slow fading scenario. The second algorithm (BKIC-RBP) is based on the principle of real-valued belief propagation. Since there is no loop in the Tanner graph, BKIC-RBP can achieve MAP-optimal performance with fast convergence, and has near interference-free performance even in the fast fading scenario. Both BKIC schemes outperform the traditional self-interference cancellation schemes that have perfect initial channel information by a large margin, while having lower complexities. 地址: [Zhang, Shengli; Wang, Hui] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen MCSP Key Lab, Dept Commun Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 2 被引频次合计: 2 摘要: For ubiquitous computing systems, security has become a new metric that designers should consider throughout the design process, along with other metrics such as performance and energy consumption. A combination of selected cryptographic algorithms for required security services forms a security strategy for the application. In this paper, we propose methods to generate security strategies to achieve the maximal overall security strength while meeting the real-time constraint. In order to express security requirements of an application, we propose a novel graph model called Security-Aware Task (SEAT) graph model to represent real-time constraints and precedence relationships among tasks. Based on the SEAT graph approach, we propose an optimal algorithm, Integer Linear Programming Security Optimization (ILP-SOP). For the special structures such as simple path graph and tree, we, propose two dynamic programming based algorithms (DPSOP-path/tree) to generate the optimal security strategy. Experiment results demonstrate the correctness and efficiency of our proposed method. The experimental results show that, by using our proposed techniques, the security strength can be improved by 44.3% on average. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In this paper, we observe that network coding could help to decrease the impact of wireless interference, and thus propose a framework to study the MMF problem for multihop wireless networks with network coding. Firstly, a network model is established to describe the new conflict relations and schedulability modified by network coding. Next, we formulate the MMF problem to compute the maximum throughput of multiple unicast flows supported by the multihop wireless network with network coding, and show that its capacity region could be enlarged by performing network coding. Finally, we show that determining the capacity region of a multihop wireless network with network coding is an NP-hard problem, and thus propose a greedy heuristic algorithm, called coding-first collecting (CFC), to determine a capacity subregion of the network. We also show that finding an optimal hyperarc schedule to meet a given link demand function is NP-hard, and propose a polynomial algorithm, called coding-first scheduling (CFS), to find an approximate fractional hyperarc schedule in the multihop wireless network with network coding. A numerical analysis of a grid wireless network and a random wireless network is presented to demonstrate the efficiencies of the CFC algorithm and the CFS algorithm based on the framework. 地址: [Zhou, Jinyi; Xia, Shutao; Jiang, Yong; Zheng, Haitao] Tsinghua Univ, Grad Sch Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, Peoples R China.

Discrete-event simulation model was developed to capture production flow and decision logic under real world conditions. A multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA), combined with improving heuristics, was developed to search the best solutions (Pareto optimums). The two modules are integrated to work in evolutionary cycles to achieve the optimization.

Simulation results show that the mobile payment scheme based on a low-frequency magnetic-coupling activation strategy is reasonable, secured, robust, low-cost, and easy to promote. The performance of various mobile phones integrated with the RFID-SIM cards is very similar under the proposed activation strategy. The activation distances between various mobiles and the readers are very consistent. When high-frequency magnetic coupling is used, however, the performance of different mobile phones shows great difference because of the small attenuation factor. 地址: Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: He, YJ (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: heyejun@126.com 第 161 条,共 274 条 标题: Visual Analysis of Set Relations in a Graph 作者: Xu, PP (Xu, Panpan); Du, F (Du, Fan); Cao, N (Cao, Nan); Shi, CL (Shi, Conglei); Zhou, H (Zhou, Hong); Qu, HM (Qu, Huamin) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 2 被引频次合计: 2 摘要: Many applications can be modeled as a graph with additional attributes attached to the nodes. For example, a graph can be used to model the relationship of people in a social media website or a bibliographical dataset. Meanwhile, additional information is often available, such as the topics people are interested in and the music they listen to. Based on this additional information, different set relationships may exist among people. Revealing the set relationships in a network can help people gain social insight and better understand their roles within a community. In this paper, we present a visualization system for exploring set relations in a graph. Our system is designed to reveal three different relationships simultaneously: the social relationship of people, the set relationship among people's items of interest, and the similarity relationship of the items. We propose two novel visualization designs: a) a glyph-based visualization to reveal people's set relationships in the context of their social networks; b) an integration of visual links and a contour map to show people and their items of interest which are clustered into different groups. The effectiveness of the designs has been demonstrated by the case studies on two representative datasets including one from a social music service website and another from an academic collaboration network.

A novel watermarking scheme for breath sounds, combining lifting wavelet transform (LWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), singular value decomposition (SVD) and dither modulation (DM) quantization is proposed in this paper as a way to insert encrypted source and identity information in breath sounds while maintaining significant biological signals. In the proposed scheme, LWT is first performed to decompose the signal, and then DCT is applied on the approximate coefficients. SVD is carried out on the LWT-DCT coefficients to derive singular values. DM is adopted to quantize the singular values of each of the LWT-DCT blocks; thus, the watermark extraction is blind by using the DM algorithm. The novelty of our proposed method also includes the introduction of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to optimize the quantization steps for the DM approach. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme obtains good robustness against common manipulation attacks and preserves imperceptivity. The performance comparison results verify that our scheme outperforms existing approaches in terms of robustness and imperceptibility. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

With the external archive for storing nondominated individuals, the population diversity can be well preserved using an efficient fine-grained selection procedure performed on the micro-population. The adaptive mutation operator is executed according to the fitness values, which promotes to use relatively large steps for boundary and less-crowded individuals in high probability. Therefore, the exploratory capabilities are enhanced. When comparing the proposed algorithm with a recently proposed immune multiobjective algorithm and a scatter search multiobjective algorithm in various benchmark functions, simulations show that the proposed algorithm not only improves convergence ability but also preserves population diversity adequately in most cases.

Many simulation models, inspired by the social behavior of natural organisms, are presented to provide new approaches for solving realistic optimization problems. Most of these simulation models follow population-based modelling approaches, where all the individuals are updated according to the same rules. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the diversity of the population. Results: In this paper, we present a computational model termed LCM-QS, which simulates the bacterial quorum-sensing (QS) mechanism using an individual-based modelling approach under the framework of Agent-Environment-Rule (AER) scheme, i.e. bacterial lifecycle model (LCM). LCM-QS model can be classified into three main sub-models: chemotaxis with QS sub-model, reproduction and elimination sub-model and migration sub-model. The proposed model is used to not only imitate the bacterial evolution process at the single-cell level, but also concentrate on the study of bacterial macroscopic behaviour. Comparative experiments under four different scenarios have been conducted in an artificial 3-D environment with nutrients and noxious distribution. Detailed study on bacterial chemotatic processes with quorum sensing and without quorum sensing are compared. By using quorum sensing mechanisms, artificial bacteria working together can find the nutrient concentration (or global optimum) quickly in the artificial environment. Conclusions: Biomimicry of quorum sensing mechanisms using the lifecycle model allows the artificial bacteria endowed with the communication abilities, which are essential to obtain more valuable information to guide their search cooperatively towards the preferred nutrient concentrations. It can also provide an inspiration for designing new swarm intelligence optimization algorithms, which can be used for solving the real-world problems. 地址: [Niu, Ben; Wang, Hong; Duan, Qiqi; Li, Li] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Management, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Although large amount of PPIs data for different species has been generated by high-throughput experimental techniques, current PPI pairs obtained with experimental methods cover only a fraction of the complete PPI networks, and further, the experimental methods for identifying PPIs are both time-consuming and expensive. Hence, it is urgent and challenging to develop automated computational methods to efficiently and accurately predict PPIs. Results: We present here a novel hierarchical PCA-EELM (principal component analysis-ensemble extreme learning machine) model to predict protein-protein interactions only using the information of protein sequences. In the proposed method, 11188 protein pairs retrieved from the DIP database were encoded into feature vectors by using four kinds of protein sequences information. Focusing on dimension reduction, an effective feature extraction method PCA was then employed to construct the most discriminative new feature set. Finally, multiple extreme learning machines were trained and then aggregated into a consensus classifier by majority voting. The ensembling of extreme learning machine removes the dependence of results on initial random weights and improves the prediction performance. Conclusions: When performed on the PPI data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the proposed method achieved 87.00% prediction accuracy with 86.15% sensitivity at the precision of 87.59%. Extensive experiments are performed to compare our method with state-of-the-art techniques Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results demonstrate that proposed PCA-EELM outperforms the SVM method by 5-fold cross-validation. Besides, PCA-EELM performs faster than PCA-SVM based method. Consequently, the proposed approach can be considered as a new promising and powerful tools for predicting PPI with excellent performance and less time. 地址: [You, Zhu-Hong] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

H.) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 1 被引频次合计: 2 摘要: Waves and winds can induce lateral loads on piles, which are often multidirectional. The objective of this study is to investigate the response of a single pile subjected to unidirectional and multidirectional lateral loadings using the finite element analysis program ABAQUS. A simplified version of the state-dependent dilatancy model was implemented and embedded into the program to simulate the behavior of the soil around the pile. The results of the analyses indicate that the lateral resistance of the pile along one horizontal direction under multidirectional loading is lower than that under unidirectional loading. The degree of reduction of the resistance increases with the aspect ratio of the displacement path at the pile head. The directions of the force increment vector and the displacement increment vector are generally non-coaxial under multidirectional loading. The soil-pile interaction and soil responses under multidirectional loading are also significantly different than those under unidirectional loading. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

M.); He, YJ (He, Yejun) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are very powerful error-correction codes with capabilities approaching the Shannon's limits. In evaluating the error performance of an LDPC code, the computer simulation time taken becomes a primary concern when tens of millions of noise-corrupted codewords are to be decoded, particularly for codes with very long lengths. In this paper, we propose modeling the parity-check matrix of an LDPC code with compressed parity-check matrices in the check-node domain (CND) and in the bit-node domain (BND), respectively. Based on the compressed parity-check matrices, we created two message matrices, one in the CND and another in the BND, and two domain conversion matrices, one from CND to BND and another from BND to CND. With the proposed message matrices, the data used in the iterative LDPC decoding algorithm can be closely packed and stored within a small memory size. Consequently, such data can be mostly stored in the cache memory, reducing the need for the central processing unit to access the random access memory and hence improving the simulation time significantly. Furthermore, the messages in one domain can be easily converted to another domain with the use of the conversion matrices, facilitating the central processing unit to access and update the messages.

By encoding a block of variable number of symbols to a codeword within the length of the computation register, the operating efficiency has been substantially improved. Moreover, the compressed sequence is processed by an additional diffusion operation which strengthens the security of the original scheme by having higher key and plaintext sensitivities. Simulation results show that the enhanced scheme runs faster than the original scheme and the traditional compress-then-encrypt approach at a comparable compression performance.

Opinion leaders are important in social networks because of their ability to influence the attitudes and behaviours of others via their superior status, education, and social prestige. Many theories have been put forward to explain the formation, characteristics, and durability of social networks, but few address the issue of opinion leader identification. This paper proposes an improved mix framework for opinion leader identification in online learning communities. The framework is validated by an experimental study. By analysing textual content, user behaviour and time, this study ranked opinion leaders based on four distinguishing features: expertise, novelty, influence, and activity. Furthermore, the performances of opinion leaders were further investigated in terms of longevity and centrality. Experimental study on real datasets has shown that our framework effectively identifies opinion leaders in online learning communities. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

However, in practical broadband wireless communications, there exists not only multipath but also narrowband interference (NBI). The conventional FDE methods do not consider NBI and their performance degrades obviously in such case. In this paper, we propose a new optimization criterion which can effectively suppress NBI to obtain the maximum decision signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed scheme employs a conventional adaptive algorithm such as least-mean-square or recursive-least-square and operates in the spatial-frequency domain, which is concerned with the use of FDE and space diversity within block transmission schemes jointly. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes have better error-rate performance with low complexity and can be used even in the presence of strong NBI, compared to other existing adaptive FDE algorithms. 地址: [Xie, Ning; Wang, Hui; Lin, Xiaohui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 2 被引频次合计: 4 摘要: Transceiver-free object tracking is to trace a moving object that does not carry any communication device in an environment with some monitoring nodes predeployed. Among all the tracking technologies, RF-based technology is an emerging research field facing many challenges. Although we proposed the original idea, until now there is no method achieving scalability without sacrificing latency and accuracy. In this paper, we put forward a real-time tracking system RASS, which can achieve this goal and is promising in the applications like the safeguard system. Our basic idea is to divide the tracking field into different areas, with adjacent areas using different communication channels. So, the interference among different areas can be prevented. For each area, three communicating nodes are deployed on the ceiling as a regular triangle to monitor this area. In each triangle area, we use a Support Vector Regression (SVR) model to locate the object. This model simulates the relationship between the signal dynamics caused by the object and the object position. It not only considers the ideal case of signal dynamics caused by the object, but also utilizes their irregular information. As a result, it can reach the tracking accuracy to around 1 m by just using three nodes in a triangle area with 4 m in each side. The experiments show that the tracking latency of the proposed RASS system is bounded by only about 0.26 m. Our system scales well to a large deployment field without sacrificing the latency and accuracy. 地址: [Zhang, Dian] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

The existing fault tolerance mechanisms either consume significant extra energy to detect and recover from the failures or need to use additional hardware and software resource. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-aware fault tolerance mechanism for WSN, called Informer Homed Routing (IHR). In our IHR, non cluster head (NCH) nodes select a limited number of targets in the data transmission. Therefore it consumes less energy. Our experimental results show that our proposed protocol can significantly reduce energy consumption, compared to two existing protocols: Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and Dual Homed Routing (DHR).

Although the edge and the texture have salient difference in human vision, automatically distinguishing them is a difficult task, for they have similar intensity difference or gradient response. The state-of-the-art edge-preserving smoothing (EPS) based decomposition approaches are hard to obtain a satisfactory result. We propose a novel edge-preserving texture suppression filter, exploiting the joint bilateral filter as a bridge to achieve the purpose of both properties of texture-smoothing and edge-preserving. We develop the iterative asymmetric sampling and the local linear model to produce the degenerative image to suppress the texture, and apply the edge correction operator to achieve edge-preserving. An efficient accelerating implementation is introduced to improve the performance of filtering response. The experiments demonstrate that our filter produces satisfactory outputs with both properties of texture-smoothing and edge-preserving, while compared with the results of other popular EPS approaches in signal, visual and time analysis. Finally, we extend our filter to a variety of image processing applications. 地址: [Su, Zhuo; Luo, Xiaonan] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, State Prov Joint Lab Digital Home Interact Applic, Natl Engn Res Ctr Digital Life, Guangzhou 510275, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Particularly, SCSPO searches an optimal compression codebook of all unique repeat patterns and then DNA sequences are compressed by replacing the duplicate fragments with the indexes of the corresponding matched code vectors in the codebook. Featured with a crucial self-configuration process, SCSPO optimizes the codebook with no predefined parameter settings required. Experimental results on benchmark numerical functions and real-world DNA sequences demonstrate that SCSPO is capable of attaining better fitness value than many other PSO variants and the proposed DNA sequence compression algorithm based on SCSPO attains encouraging compression performance. 地址: [Ji, Zhen; Zhu, Zexuan] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

But when SIFT is introduced in the registration of remote sensing images, the keypoint pairs which are expected to be matched are often assigned two different value of main orientation owing to the significant difference in the image intensity between remote sensing image pairs, and therefore a lot of incorrect matches of keypoints will appear. This paper presents a method using rotation-invariant distance instead of Euclid distance to match the scale invariant feature vectors associated with the keypoints. In the proposed method, the feature vectors are reorganized into feature matrices, and fast Fourier transform (FFT) is introduced to compute the rotation-invariant distance between the matrices. Much more correct matches are obtained by the proposed method since the rotation-invariant distance is independent of the main orientation of the keypoints. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method improves the match performance compared to other state-of-art methods in terms of correct match rate and aligning accuracy. 地址: [Li, Qiaoliang; Zhang, Huisheng; Wang, Tianfu] Shenzhen Univ, Sch Med, Dept Biomed Engn, Guangdong Key Lab Biomed Measurements & Ultrasoun, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Li, QL (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Sch Med, Dept Biomed Engn, Guangdong Key Lab Biomed Measurements & Ultrasoun, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: lql_lql_lql@yahoo.com.cn; isaac_zhs@126.com; tfwang@szu.edu.cn 第 177 条,共 274 条 标题: Achieving high diversity and multiplexing gains in the asynchronous parallel relay network 作者: Dai, MJ (Dai, Mingjun); Sung, CW (Sung, Chi Wan) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 3 被引频次合计: 3 摘要: A single source-destination pair communicating via a layer of parallel relay nodes under quasi-static slow fading environment is investigated. The time delays from the source to the destination via different relays are assumed to be different. For such an asynchronous environment, a new transmission scheme is constructed so as to achieve better diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT). More specifically, both the source and the destination adopts orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique to solve the asynchronous problem; the relays cooperatively apply the distributed generalised complex orthogonal design, a form of orthogonal spacetime coding, for high-rate transmission. Each relay is assumed to use the adaptive amplify-and-forward relaying strategy. To optimise its outage performance, a distributed on-off power control rule applied to the relays is analytically derived and is proved to yield full spatial diversity order. Compared with an existing protocol, our proposed scheme is shown to achieve the same DMT when there are four relay nodes and better DMT when there are more. Besides, the DMT gap between our scheme and the existing one increases with the number of relay nodes.

Events detected during monitoring are temporally correlated, which is helpful to resource allocation, job scheduling, and failure prediction. To discover the correlations among detected events, many existing approaches concentrate detected events into an event database and perform data mining on it. We argue that these approaches are not scalable to large scale distributed systems as monitored events grow so fast that event correlation discovering can hardly be done with the power of a single computer. In this paper, we present a decentralized approach to efficiently detect events, filter irrelative events, and discover their temporal correlations. We propose a MapReduce-based algorithm, MapReduce-Apriori, to data mining event association rules, which utilizes the computational resource of multiple dedicated nodes of the system. Experimental results show that our decentralized event correlation mining algorithm achieves nearly ideal speedup compared to centralized mining approaches. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

This paper presents construction of gene network using combined quantum-behaved PSO and K2 algorithm. Recent studies have shown that Bayesian Network is an effective way to learn the network structure. K2 algorithm is widely used because of its heuristic searching techniques and fast convergence, but it suffers from local optima. And the performance of K2 algorithm is greatly affected by a prior ordering of input nodes. Quantum-behaved PSO is a population-based stochastic search process, which automatically searches for the optimal solution in the search space. So, we combined it with K2 algorithm for construction gene network. The results of hybrid PSO, K2 (we refer to it as QPSO-K2 algorithm), stand-alone K2 and quantum-behaved PSO algorithms are compared on several datasets. Among the three algorithms, the hybrid QPSO-K2 algorithm performs well for all of the datasets. 地址: [Du, Zhihua; Zhu, Yingying] ShenZhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

Three-dimension (3D) CMP architecture has been studied recently for integrating more functionalities and providing higher performance. The high temperature on chip is a critical issue for the 3D architecture. In this article, we propose an online thermal prediction model for 3D chips. Using this model, we propose novel task scheduling algorithms based on rotation scheduling to reduce the peak temperature on chip. We consider data dependencies, especially inter-iteration dependencies that are not well considered in most of the current thermal-aware task scheduling algorithms. Our simulation results show that our algorithms can efficiently reduce the peak temperature up to 8.1 degrees C. 地址: [Li, Jiayin; Qiu, Meikang] Univ Kentucky, Dept Elect & Comp Engn, Lexington, KY 40506 USA.

This paper develops a substructuring method for computing the first, second and high order eigensensitivity. The local area of a structure is treated as an independent substructure to be analyzed. The eigensensitivity of global structure with respect to a design parameter is calculated from the eigensensitivity of a particular substructure that contains the design parameter, thus allowing a significant reduction in computational cost. The accuracy and efficiency of the substructuring method is proved by a frame structure and a highway bridge. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In the past several years, more and more attention has been paid to reversible data hiding schemes for images in compressed formats such as JPEG, JPEG2000, Vector Quantization (VQ) and Block Truncation Coding (BTC). Traditional data hiding schemes in the BTC domain modify the BTC encoding stage or BTC-compressed data according to the secret bits, and they have no ability to reduce the bit rate but may reduce the image quality. This paper presents a novel reversible data hiding scheme for BTC-compressed images by further losslessly encoding the BTC-compressed data according to the secret bits. First, the original BTC technique is performed on the original image to obtain the BTC-compressed data which can be represented by a high mean table, a low mean table and a bitplane sequence. Then, the proposed reversible data hiding scheme is performed on both the high mean table and low mean table. Our hiding scheme is a lossless joint hiding and compression method based on 2 x 2 blocks in mean tables, thus it can not only hide data in mean tables but also reduce the bit rate. Experiments show that our scheme outperforms three existing BTC-based data hiding works, in terms of the bit rate, capacity and efficiency. 地址: [Zhang, Yong] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, ATR Natl Def Technol Key Lab, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

With PNC, the destructive effect of interference in wireless networks is eliminated and the capacity of networks can be boosted significantly. This paper addresses a key outstanding issue in PNC: synchronization among transmitting nodes. We first investigate the impact of imperfect synchronization in a 3-node network with a straightforward detection scheme. It is shown that with QPSK modulation, PNC on average still yields significantly higher capacity than straightforward network coding when there are synchronization errors. Significantly, this remains to be so even in the extreme case when synchronization is not performed at all. Moving beyond a 3-node network, we propose and investigate a synchronization scheme for PNC in a general chain network. And we argue that if the synchronization errors can be bounded in the 3-node case, they can also be bounded in the general N-node case. Lastly, we present simulation results showing that PNC is robust to synchronization errors. In particular, for the mutual information performance, there is about 2 dB loss without phase or symbol synchronization. 地址: [Zhang, Shengli; Wang, Hui] Shenzhen Univ, Dept Commun Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

TWSVM not only overcomes the difficulties in handling the problem of exemplar unbalance in binary classification problems, but also it is four times faster in training a classifier than classical support vector machines. This paper proposes one-versus-all twin support vector machine classifiers (OVA-TWSVM) for multi-category classification problems by utilizing the strengths of TWSVM. OVA-TWSVM extends TWSVM to solve k-category classification problems by developing k TWSVM where in the ith TWSVM, we only solve the Quadratic Programming Problems (QPPs) for the ith class, and get the ith nonparallel hyperplane corresponding to the ith class data. OVA-TWSVM uses the well known one-versus-all (OVA) approach to construct a corresponding twin support vector machine classifier. We analyze the efficiency of the OVA-TWSVM theoretically, and perform experiments to test its efficiency on both synthetic data sets and several benchmark data sets from the UCI machine learning repository. Both the theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that OVA-TWSVM can outperform the traditional OVA-SVMs classifier. Further experimental comparisons with other multiclass classifiers demonstrated that comparable performance could be achieved. 地址: [Xie, Juanying] Shaanxi Normal Univ, Sch Comp Sci, Xian 710062, Shaanxi, Peoples R China.

At the beginning, the users take turns to transmit their packets. The relay is not aware of the erasure status of each packet at the destination but has the knowledge of the average signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of every communication link. With this knowledge, the relay applies network coded retransmission on the overheard packets so as to maximize the expected total number of recovered packets or minimize the average packet loss rate at the destination. Several network coding (NC) strategies at the relay are designed. In particular, for the case where the relay is given only one time slot for retransmission, an optimal NC construction is derived. For the multiple-slot case, three sub-optimal schemes are investigated, namely network coding with maximum distance separable (MDS) code (NC-MDS), the worst-user-first (WUF) scheme and a hybrid of NC-MDS and WUF. We prove that NC-MDS and WUF are asymptotically optimal in the high and low SNR regimes, respectively. A lower bound on the average packet loss rate has been derived. Numerical studies show that, in a cellular system, the hybrid scheme offers significant performance gain over a number of existing schemes in a wide range of SNR. We also observe that performance curves of both WUF and the hybrid scheme touch the derived lower bound in the low SNR regime. 地址: [Dai, Mingjun] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

Existing researches mostly focus on the sentiment classification of the product and service reviews in document level. Reviews of social events such as economic and political activities, which are called social reviews, have specific characteristics different to the reviews of products and services. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach to automatically discover the aspects discussed in Chinese social reviews and also the sentiments expressed in different aspects. The approach is called Multi-aspect Sentiment Analysis for Chinese Online Social Reviews (MSA-COSRs). We first apply the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to discover multi-aspect global topics of social reviews, and then extract the local topic and associated sentiment based on a sliding window context over the review text. The aspect of the local topic is identified by a trained LDA model, and the polarity of the associated sentiment is classified by HowNet lexicon. The experiment results show that MSA-COSR cannot only obtain good topic partitioning results, but also help to improve sentiment analysis accuracy. It helps to simultaneously discover multi-aspect fine-grained topics and associated sentiment. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

We develop an improved portfolio optimization model by introducing the endogenous and exogenous liquidity risk and the corresponding indexes are designed to measure the endogenous/exogenous liquidity risk, respectively. Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) is employed to find the optimal set of portfolio weights in the improved Mean-Variance model. BFO-LDC which is a modified BFO with linear deceasing chemotaxis step is proposed to further improve the performance of BFO. With four benchmark functions, BFO-LDC is proved to have better performance than the original BFO. And then comparisons of the results produced by BFO, BFO-LDC, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and genetic algorithms (GAs) for the proposed portfolio optimization model are presented. Simulation results show that BFOs can obtain both near optimal and the practically feasible solutions to the liquidity risk portfolio optimization problem. In addition, BFO-LDC outperforms BFO in most cases. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 地址: [Niu, Ben; Fan, Yan; Xiao, Han] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Management, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

This paper proposes novel Max-Min optimization based relay antenna selection (RAS) schemes for zero-forcing (ZF) based MIMO-PNC transmission. RAS relaxes ZF's constraints on the number of antennas and extends the applications of ZF based MIMO-PNC to more practical scenarios, where the dedicated relay has more antennas than the end node. Moreover, RAS also brings diversity advantages to TWRN and the achievable diversity gains of the proposed schemes are theoretically analyzed. In particular, an equivalence relation is carefully built for the diversity gains obtained by 1) RAS for ZF based MIMO-PNC and 2) transmit antenna selection (TAS) for MIMO broadcasting (BC) with ZF receivers. This equivalence transforms the original problem to a more tractable form which eventually allows explicit analytical results. It is interesting to see that Max-Min RAS keeps the network diversity gain of ZF based MIMO-PNC to be the same as the diversity gain of the point-to-point link within the TWRN. This insight extends the understanding on the behaviors of ZF transceivers with antenna selection (AS) to relatively complicated MIMO-TWRN/BC scenarios. 地址: [Lv, Tiejun] Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, Sch Informat & Commun Engn, Beijing 100876, Peoples R China.

Although WiFi has limited coverage and resulted in a bigger delay of data access, it is not uncommon that mobile users are willing to use WiFi to transmit data to decrease communication costs instead of 3G. Hence it is reasonable to use delay tolerance strategies to balance execution time, energy consumption, and communication cost. In this paper, we model mobile user experience as a combination of three random variables (energy consumption, execution time and communication cost). We present a wireless interface scheduling algorithm to select proper wireless interfaces for a set of data-dependent sporadic tasks to enhance user experience under the constraints of execution time, energy consumption, and communication cost with a guaranteed confidence probability in a delay-tolerant environment. The experimental results show that our approach can effectively enhance the user experience. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

However, there exist two main issues in traditional LPP algorithm. LPP does not utilize the class label information at the training stage and its performance will be affected for classification tasks. In addition, LPP often suffers from small sample size (3S) problem, which occurs when the dimension of input pattern space is greater than the number of training samples. Under this situation, LPP fails to work. To overcome these two limitations, this paper presents a novel supervised regularization LPP (SRLPP) approach based on a supervised graph and a new regularization strategy. It theoretically proves that regularization matrix S-L(R) approaches to the original one as the regularized parameter tends to zero. The proposed SRLPP method is subsequently applied to face recognition. The experiments are conducted on two publicly available face databases, namely ORL database and FERET database. Compared with some existing LDA-based and LPP-based linear feature extraction approaches, experimental results show that our SRLPP approach gives superior performance. 地址: [Chen, Wen-Sheng; Wang, Wei] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Math & Computat Sci, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Using the Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), a CMP system can achieve a balance between the performance and the energy-efficiency. In this paper, we propose a three-phase discrete DVFS algorithm for a CMP system dedicated to applications where the period of the applications' task graph is smaller than the deadline of tasks. In these applications, multiple task graphs are unrolled and then concatenated together to form a new task graph. The proposed DVFS algorithm is applied to the newly formed task graph to stretch tasks' execution time, lower operating frequencies of processors and achieve the system power efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the energy dissipation by 25% on average, compared to previous DVFS approaches. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Previous BTC-based watermarking or hiding schemes usually embed secret data by modifying the BTC encoding stage or BTC-compressed data, obtaining the watermarked image with poorer quality than the BTC-compressed version. This paper presents a new oblivious image watermarking scheme by exploiting BTC bitmaps. Unlike the traditional schemes, our approach does not really perform the BTC compression on images during the embedding process but utilizes the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in each BTC bitmap to guide the watermark embedding and extraction processes. The embedding process starts by partitioning the original cover image into non-overlapping 4x4 blocks and performing BTC on each block to obtain its BTC bitmap. One watermark bit is embedded in each block by modifying at most three pixel values in the block to make sure that the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap of the modified block is equal to the embedded watermark bit. In the extraction stage, the suspicious image is first partitioned into non-overlapping 4x4 blocks and BTC is performed on each block to obtain its bitmap. Then, by checking the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap, we can extract one watermark bit in each block. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme is fragile to various image processing operations while keeping the transparency very well. 地址: [Lu ZheMing] Zhejiang Univ, Sch Aeronaut & Astronaut, Hangzhou 310027, Peoples R China.

This paper presents a packet scheduling scheme that both guarantees QoS as required, and ensures fairness among the subscriber stations. Our scheme uses a novel hierarchical scheduling algorithm for the uplink of a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system. We first schedule the real-time service according to the QoS requirement. This meets maximum delay and packet loss requirements of a subscriber station in WiMAX communication networks. In addition to satisfying the QoS requirements, we modify and extend the Proportional Fairness scheduling algorithm to what we call the Subscriber Stations Based Proportional Fairness algorithm, which allocates remaining bandwidth fairly amongst subscriber stations. The algorithm has been implemented and evaluated in a WiMAX simulation platform developed in OPNET. From the simulation results, we can see not only the QoS requirement is satisfied, but also it is fair to all subscriber stations in the WiMAX network. 地址: [Du, Wenfeng] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.

This paper proposes the Maximum Weighted Object Correlation (MWOC) thresholding method, fitting the features that rail images are unimodal and defect proportion is small. MWOC selects a threshold by optimizing the product of object correlation and the weight term that expresses the proportion of thresholded defects. Our experimental results demonstrate that MWOC achieves mis-classification error of 0.85%, and outperforms the other well-established thresholding methods, including Otsu, maximum correlation thresholding, maximum entropy thresholding and valley-emphasis method, for the application of rail defect detection. 地址: [Li, Qingyong; Huang, Yaping; Luo, Siwei] Beijing Jiaotong Univ, Sch Comp & Informat Technol, Beijing 100044, Peoples R China.

However, the detection of fast air moving targets from high speed platform is challenged by the range walk of both the clutter and moving targets. It is well known that keystone formatting can be used to compensate for the range walk of multiple moving targets simultaneously without using the knowledge of the motion parameters. However, in the presence of serious Doppler ambiguity of fast air moving targets, distribution of the clutter will be affected by the keystone formatting matched to the ambiguity number of targets, and as a result the STAP performance will degrade. In this paper, a novel STAP method is proposed for the detection of fast air moving targets from high speed platform, which can deal with the range walk of both clutter and targets. Effectiveness of the new method is verified via simulation examples. 地址: [Wu RenBiao; Jia QiongQiong; Li Hai] Civil Aviat Univ China, Tianjin Key Lab Adv Signal Proc, Tianjin 300300, Peoples R China.

This paper proposes a hybrid scheme that combines the merits of a global search algorithm, the shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (SFLA) and local exploration, extremal optimisation (EO) and that exhibits strong robustness and fast convergence for high-dimensional continuous function optimisation. A modified shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (MSFLA) is investigated that improves the leaping rule by properly extending the leaping step size and adding a leaping inertia component to account for social behaviour. To further improve the local search ability of MSFLA and speed up convergence, we occasionally introduce EO, which has an excellent local exploration capability, in the local exploration process of the MSFLA. It is characterised by alternating the coarse-grained Cauchy mutation and the fine-grained Gaussian mutation. Compared with standard particle swarm optimisation (PSO), SFLA and MSFLA for six widely used benchmark examples, the hybrid MSFIA-EO is shown to be a good and robust choice for solving high-dimensional continuous function optimisation problems. It possesses excellent performance in terms of the mean function values, the success rate and the fitness function evaluations (FFE), which is a rough measure of the complexity of the algorithm.

Over the last decade, the development of novel high-throughput techniques has resulted in enormous amounts of data and provided valuable resources for studying protein interactions. However, these high-throughput protein interaction data are often associated with high false positive and false negative rates. It is therefore highly desirable to develop scalable methods to identify these errors from the computational perspective. Results: We have developed a robust computational technique for assessing the reliability of interactions and predicting new interactions by combining manifold embedding with multiple information integration. Validation of the proposed method was performed with extensive experiments on densely-connected and sparse PPI networks of yeast respectively. Results demonstrate that the interactions ranked top by our method have high functional homogeneity and localization coherence. Conclusions: Our proposed method achieves better performances than the existing methods no matter assessing or predicting protein interactions. Furthermore, our method is general enough to work over a variety of PPI networks irrespectively of densely-connected or sparse PPI network. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is a much more promising method to detect both false positive and false negative interactions in PPI networks. 地址: [Lei, Ying-Ke; You, Zhu-Hong; Huang, De-Shuang] Tongji Univ, Shanghai 200092, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 8 被引频次合计: 8 摘要: An efficient dependable smart power grid relies on the secure real-time data collection and transmission service provided by a monitoring system. In such a system, the measuring units, such as phasor measurement units (PMUs) and smart meters (SMs), are critical. These measuring equipments function as sensors in the smart grid. Data exchanges between these sensors and the central controller are protected by various security protocols. These protocols usually contain computationally intensive cryptographic algorithms that cause heavy energy overhead to the sensor nodes. Since PMUs and SMs are mostly energy-constrained, the problem of how to ensure the secure communication with minimum energy cost becomes a critical issue for the functionality of the whole smart grid. In this article, we focus on the low power secure communication of the PMUs and SMs. We take two wireless sensor platforms as examples to experimentally investigate the approaches and principles of reconciling the two conflicting system requirements-communication security and low energy consumptions. The proposed methods are general ones and applicable to other energy-constrained yet security sensitive systems. 地址: [Qiu, Meikang; Chen, Min; Yang, Laurence T.] Huazhong Univ Sci & Technol, Sch Comp Sci & Technol, Wuhan, Peoples R China.

For a cloud user, he/she can request multiple cloud services simultaneously. In this case, parallel processing in the cloud system can improve the performance. When applying parallel processing in cloud computing, it is necessary to implement a mechanism to allocate resource and schedule the execution order of tasks. Furthermore, a resource optimization mechanism with preemptable task execution can increase the utilization of clouds. In this paper, we propose two online dynamic resource allocation algorithms for the IaaS cloud system with preemptable tasks. Our algorithms adjust the resource allocation dynamically based on the updated information of the actual task executions. And the experimental results show that our algorithms can significantly improve the performance in the situation where resource contention is fierce. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Most of the existing forecasting models for this problem do not take market sentiment into consideration. To overcome this limitation, motivated by the fact that market sentiment contains some useful forecasting information, this paper uses textual information to aid the financial time series forecasting and presents a novel text mining approach via combining ARIMA and SVR (Support Vector Regression) to forecasting. The approach contains three steps: representing textual data as feature vectors, using ARIMA to analyze the linear part and developing a SVR model based only on textual feature vector to model the nonlinear part. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, quarterly ROEs (Return of Equity) of six security companies are chosen as the forecasting targets. Comparing with some existing state-of-the-art models, the proposed approach gives superior results. It indicates that the proposed model that uses additional market sentiment provides a promising alternative to financial time series prediction. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The new method incorporates derivative constraints on the interference DOA (direction of arrival) into power minimization approach, which could broaden the width of nulls in the interferences directions and adapt to the rapid change of the interference directions. Compared with the traditional wide nulling algorithm based on the derivative constraints, the new method does not have to know or estimate the DOAs of the desired signal and the interference. The new method is firstly discussed in the context of spatial processing, and then extended to space-time adaptive processing to mitigate wideband diffusive multipath interference. Effectiveness of the new method is verified via simulation examples. 地址: [Wu RenBiao; Li Chan; Lu Dan] Civil Aviat Univ China, Tianjin Key Lab Adv Signal Proc, Tianjin 300300, Peoples R China.

In the presented algorithm, the two populations mimic facultative bio-parasitic behaviour and exchange particles according to particles' fitness values sorted of each population in a certain number of iterations. The parasite mutation and the host immunity are also considered to tie it closer to bio-parasitic behaviour as well as improve the algorithm performance. In order to embody the law of "survival of the fittest" in biological evolution, the particles with poor fitness value in the host population are removed and replaced by the same numbers of the re-initialization particles to maintain constant population size. The experimental results of a set of 10 benchmark functions demonstrate the presented algorithm's efficacy. 地址: [Qin, Quande; Li, Li; Niu, Ben] Shenzhen Univ, Dept Management Sci, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

However, it must coexist with other narrowband wireless systems that may cause interference to each other, and furthermore a large bandwidth will inevitably result in multi-path fading. The Rake receiver is applicable to combat multi-path fading but its performance degrades greatly when the narrowband interference (NBI) is present. Although some optimized Rake receivers were proposed to suppress the NBI, such as the minimum mean square error (MMSE) one, their computational complexities are usually too high to be practically implemented. In this paper, we present a new adaptive Rake receiver which can effectively suppress the NBI, based on the nonlinear Masreliez-type approximate conditional mean (ACM) technique. Simulation results show that it outperforms the previous schemes and even it achieves almost the same performance as that of a MMSE Rake receiver but with much lower complexity.

Clifford algebra is more suitable for processing multidimensional data and expressing the data association than general algebra. First, the basic properties of Clifford algebra are introduced. Second, the Clifford algebra description of a multispectral image is introduced. Then, a novel multispectral image edge detection algorithm is proposed in terms of the Clifford gradient. In the first two experiments, comparison of the detail achieved by the new algorithm with that from the maximal entropy edge detection algorithm reveals that the edge detection based on Clifford gradient is better at retaining and identifying edge information of the multispectral image than the maximal entropy edge detection algorithm. The experiments using tuberculosis CT image show that the new algorithm has clinical value in reducing risk of misdiagnosis. 地址: [Liu Hui; Cao WenMing] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

However, news articles usually have other attributes such as source, author, date and time, length, and sentiment which should be taken into account. In addition, news articles and keywords have complicated macro/micro relations, which include relations between news articles (i.e., macro relation), relations between keywords (i.e., micro relation), and relations between news articles and keywords (i.e., macro-micro relation). These macro/micro relations are time varying and pose special challenges for news analysis. In this article we present a visual analytics system for news streams which can bring multiple attributes of the news articles and the macro/micro relations between news streams and keywords into one coherent analytical context, all the while conveying the dynamic natures of news streams. We introduce a new visualization primitive called TextWheel which consists of one or multiple keyword wheels, a document transportation belt, and a dynamic system which connects the wheels and belt. By observing the TextWheel and its content changes, some interesting patterns can be detected. We use our system to analyze several news corpora related to some major companies and the results demonstrate the high potential of our method. 地址: [Cui, Weiwei; Qu, Huamin] Hong Kong Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

A great many different low resolution palmprint recognition algorithms have been developed, which can be roughly grouped into three categories: holistic-based, feature-based, and hybrid methods. The purpose of this article is to provide an updated survey of palmprint recognition methods, and present a comparative study to evaluate the performance of the state-of-the-art palmprint recognition methods. Using the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU) palmprint database (version 2), we compare the recognition performance of a number of holistic-based (Fisherpalms and DCT+LDA) and local feature-based (competitive code, ordinal code, robust line orientation code, derivative of Gaussian code, and wide line detector) methods, and then investigate the error correlation and score-level fusion performance of different algorithms. After discussing the achievements and limitations of current palmprint recognition algorithms, we conclude with providing several potential research directions for the future. 地址: [Zhang, David] Hong Kong Polytech Univ, Biometr Res Ctr, Dept Comp, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

A low-cost method to localize sensor nodes is to use received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging technique together with the least-squares trilateration. However, the average localization error of this method is large due to the large ranging error of RSSI ranging technique. To reduce the average localization error, we propose a localization algorithm based on maximum a posteriori. This algorithm uses the Baye's formula to deduce the probability density of each sensor node's distribution in the target region from RSSI values. Then, each sensor node takes the point with the maximum probability density as its estimated location. Through simulation studies, we show that this algorithm outperforms the least-squares trilateration with respect to the average localization error. 地址: [Lu, Kezhong; Xiang, Xiaohua; Zhang, Dian; Mao, Rui; Feng, Yuhong] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Lu, KZ (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: kzlu@szu.edu.cn 第 210 条,共 274 条 标题: Special Focus on Terahertz Science and Technology (0-132) 作者: Liu, SG (Liu ShengGang); Xie, WX (Xie WeiXin) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 地址: [Liu ShengGang] Univ Elect Sci & Technol China, Chengdu 610054, Peoples R China.

By introducing geometric algebra, a novel signal analysis approach to THz-TDS signals is developed based on an optical physical mechanism. Using this approach, signals are represented with vectors in the high-dimensional real vector space. Geometric distribution properties and algebraic relationships of THz-TDS signals are deduced. It is proved that every complex refractive index of substances relates to a unique 2-blade, the vectors corresponding to the samples of the same substance are collinear and belong to the intrinsic 2-blade of the substance. When decomposed through the conformal split with respect to a 2-blade, THz-TDS signals of high dimensionality can be related to vectors in a 2-dimensional subspace. Based on the conformal split properties we deduced, two criteria for substance identification on the basis of THz-TDS signals are proposed. Accordingly, a novel substance identification method via the conformal split is presented. In the method, the 2-blade related to each "known" substance is calculated with two vectors corresponding to THz-TDS signals measured from samples of the substance but with different thicknesses. Using the conformal split with respect to those 2-blades, an identified vector corresponding to a THz-TDS signal is linearly related to the vector in a 2-dimensional subspace. The substance of a sample can be identified using criteria on the projected vectors in the subspaces. This method can contribute to accurate classification and identification. Finally, two experiments are presented that show the feasibility and accuracy of this method. 地址: [Xie WeiXin; Li Jing; Pei JiHong] Xidian Univ, Sch Elect Engn, Xian 710071, Peoples R China.

Two modifications are suggested for improving the compression performance and generating ciphertext with variable length, respectively. The first goal is achieved by counting the number of distinct symbols visited by the chaotic search orbit, rather than the total number of iterations of the chaotic map. The second objective is realized by introducing a user-chosen parameter to determine the ratio between the search and the mask modes. The performance of the modified algorithm is justified by simulation results using standard test files. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V.

Lasso and Dantzig selector are known to have automatic variable selection ability in linear regression analysis. This paper applies Lasso and Dantzig selector to select the most informative genes for representing the probability of an example being positive as a linear function of the gene expression data. The selected genes are further used to fit different classifiers for cancer classification. Comparative experiments were conducted on six publicly available cancer datasets, and the detailed comparison results show that in general, Lasso is more capable than Dantzig selector at selecting informative genes for cancer classification.

Moreover, the greater the bandwidth is, the more serious the distortion becomes. It is valuable to study the Frequency-invariant beam patterns (FIBPs) for receiving broadband signals without distortion. Based on the array dimensions, this paper will summarize some new methods to design a broadband beamformer with an FIBP. There will be two categories: One-dimensional arrays and Multi-dimensional arrays. For one-dimensional array, there are sampling rate method, minimax frequency invariant beamforming, etc. For multi-dimensional array, there are Bessel function method, Bessel function and phase mode method, and so on. Finally, we will discuss the pros and cons of every method. 地址: [Xie, Ning; Wang, Hui; Liu, Hongwei] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

In this paper, a framework is proposed to discover interoperation paths among identity providers (IdP) located in different circles of trust (CoT). According to the proposed framework, interoperation path and path discovery algorithm are proposed to establish a trust relationship between different CoTs. Security of the interoperation path is improved by the deployment of authentication assurance level (AAL) conversion and role mapping. Moreover, security of the path discovery process is guaranteed by path authentication which can resist security violation. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

For heterogeneous multi-core systems, the statistical characteristics of execution times on different cores play a critical role in the resource allocation, and the differences between the actual execution time and the estimated execution time may significantly affect the performance of resource allocation and cause system to be less robust. In this paper, we present an evaluation method to study the impacts of inaccurate execution time information to the performance of resource allocation. We propose a systematic way to measure the robustness degradation of the system and evaluate how inaccurate probability parameters may affect the performance of resource allocations. Furthermore, we compare the performance of three widely used greedy heuristics when using the inaccurate information with simulations. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

A rank-lifting theorem is first proven using linear algebraic theory. Combining the rank-lifting strategy with three-to-one regularization technique, the complete regularized methodology is developed on the within-class scatter matrix. The proposed regularized scheme not only adjusts the projection directions but tunes their corresponding weights as well. Moreover, it is shown that the final regularized within-class scatter matrix approaches to the original one as the regularized parameter tends to zero. Two public available databases, namely FERET and CMU PIE face databases, are selected for evaluations. Compared with some existing kernel-based LDA methods, the proposed KRLRDA approach gives superior performance. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The huge influx of data creates new challenges for storage and transmission. This paper proposes a novel adaptive particle swarm optimization-based memetic algorithm (POMA) for DNA sequence compression. POMA is a synergy of comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (CLPSO) and an adaptive intelligent single particle optimizer (AdpISPO)-based local search. It takes advantage of both CLPSO and AdpISPO to optimize the design of approximate repeat vector (ARV) codebook for DNA sequence compression. ARV is first introduced in this paper to represent the repeated fragments across multiple sequences in direct, mirror, pairing, and inverted patterns. In POMA, candidate ARV codebooks are encoded as particles and the optimal solution, which covers the most approximate repeated fragments with the fewest base variations, is identified through the exploration and exploitation of POMA. In each iteration of POMA, the leader particles in the swarm are selected based on weighted fitness values and each leader particle is fine-tuned with an AdpISPO-based local search, so that the convergence of the search in local region is accelerated. A detailed comparison study between POMA and the counterpart algorithms is performed on 29 (23 basic and 6 composite) benchmark functions and 11 real DNA sequences. POMA is observed to obtain better or competitive performance with a limited number of function evaluations. POMA also attains lower bits-per-base than other state-of-the-art DNA-specific algorithms on DNA sequence data. The experimental results suggest that the cooperation of CLPSO and AdpISPO in the framework of memetic algorithm is capable of searching the ARV codebook space efficiently. 地址: [Zhu, Zexuan; Ji, Zhen] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen City Key Lab Embedded Syst Design, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Taking advantage of the ergodic and stochastic properties of chaotic sequence, a novel mutation operator, named as chaos-based mutation (CM) operator, is proposed. Moreover, the information of diversity estimation is also adopted in the CM operator for nondominated solutions to adjust mutation steps adaptively, which encourages searching less-crowded regions with relative large step sizes. When comparing with polynomial mutation operator that is used in many state-of-the-art multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms, simulations show that it is effective to enhance the search performance. On the other hand, in order to increase the population diversity, a fine-grained selection mechanism is proposed in this paper, which seems to be remarkably effective in two-objective benchmark functions. When comparing with two state-of-the-art multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (NSGA-II and SPEA-2) and a new multi-objective immune algorithm (NNIA), simulation results of CMIA indicate the effectiveness of the fine-grained selection mechanism and the remarkable performance in finding the true Pareto-optimal front, especially on some benchmark functions with many local Pareto-optimal fronts. 地址: [Chen, Jianyong; Lin, Qiuzhen; Ji, Zhen] Shenzhen Univ, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Chen, JY (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: jychen@szu.edu.cn; qiuzheng658@163.com 第 221 条,共 274 条 标题: AN IMMUNE-INSPIRED EVOLUTION STRATEGY FOR CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS 作者: Chen, JY (Chen, Jianyong); Lin, QZ (Lin, Qiuzhen); Shen, LL (Shen, Linlin) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 0 被引频次合计: 0 摘要: Based on clonal selection principle, this paper proposes an immune-inspired evolution strategy (IIES) for constrained optimization problems with two improvements. Firstly, in order to enhance global search capability, more clones are produced by individuals that have far-off nearest neighbors in the less-crowed regions. On the other hand, immune update mechanism is proposed to replace the worst individuals in clone population with the best individuals stored in immune memory in every generation. Therefore, search direction can always focus on the fittest individuals. These proposals are able to avoid being trapped in local optimal regions and remarkably enhance global search capability. In order to examine the optimization performance of IIES, 13 well-known benchmark test functions are used. When comparing with various state-of-the-arts and recently proposed competent algorithms, simulation results show that IIES performs better or comparably in most cases. 地址: [Chen, Jianyong; Lin, Qiuzhen; Shen, Linlin] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen City Key Lab Embedded Syst Design, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

This paper aims to improve the accuracy of personal identification, when only few samples are registered as templates, by integrating multiple modal biometrics, i.e. face and palmprint. We developed in this paper a feature code, namely FPCode, to represent the features of both face and palmprint. Though feature code has been used for palmprint recognition in literature, it is first applied in this paper for face recognition and multi-modal biometrics. As the same feature is used, fusion is much easier. Experimental results show that both feature level and decision level fusion strategies achieve much better performance than single modal biometrics. The proposed approach uses fixed length 1/0 bits coding scheme that is very efficient in matching, and at the same time achieves higher accuracy than other fusion methods available in literature. 地址: [Shen, Linlin] Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, State Key Lab Networking & Switching Technol, Beijing, Peoples R China.

However, they always impact each other in various kinds of scenarios and it is necessary to study the optimization between them. This paper proposes algorithms to evaluate security level with three main features, i.e., authentication, data integrity and confidentiality. Based on that, a novel model is proposed to measure the interaction between delay of QoS and security in different application scenarios, heterogeneous users and disparate services. Furthermore, immune algorithm is used to get optimal parameters for both delay and the security level. Simulation results show that the proposed model can balance delay and security level well under diverse traffic loads of network. The model is useful to get better performance for network service, especially in rigorous network circumstance. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

However, severe bias may be introduced in this case if the samples are not uniformly distributed in the ambient space. In this paper a semi-supervised dimensionality reduction method is proposed to alleviate this problem. Based on the notion of local margin, we simultaneously maximize the separability between different classes and estimate the intrinsic geometric structure of the data by both the labeled and unlabeled samples. For high-dimensional data, a discriminant subspace is derived via maximizing the cumulative local margins. Experimental results on high-dimensional classification tasks demonstrate the efficacy of our algorithm. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Effective visual analysis of online customer opinions is needed, as it has a significant impact on building a successful business. In this paper, we present OpinionSeer, an interactive visualization system that could visually analyze a large collection of online hotel customer reviews. The system is built on a new visualization-centric opinion mining technique that considers uncertainty for faithfully modeling and analyzing customer opinions. A new visual representation is developed to convey customer opinions by augmenting well-established scatterplots and radial visualization. To provide multiple-level exploration, we introduce subjective logic to handle and organize subjective opinions with degrees of uncertainty. Several case studies illustrate the effectiveness and usefulness of OpinionSeer on analyzing relationships among multiple data dimensions and comparing opinions of different groups. Aside from data on hotel customer feedback, OpinionSeer could also be applied to visually analyze customer opinions on other products or services. 地址: [Wu, Yingcai; Cui, Weiwei; Qu, Huamin] Hong Kong Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Comp Sci & Engn, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

In this paper, we prove that the relay node placement problem in a bounded plane is a P problem, but its computational complexity in general case is quite great. From the geometric cover feature of the relay node placement problem, an O(n (2) log n) time greedy approximation algorithm is proposed, where n is the number of sensor nodes. Particularly, at each stage of this algorithm's iterative process, we first select a critical node from uncovered sensor nodes, and then determine the location of relay node based on the principle of preferring to cover the sensor node closer to the critical node, so as to prevent the emergence of isolated node. Experiment results indicate that our proposed algorithm can generate a near optimum feasible relay node deployment in a very short time, and it outperforms existing algorithms in terms of both the size of relay node deployment and the execution time. 地址: [Lu KeZhong; Chen GuoLiang; Feng YuHong; Liu Gang; Mao Rui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 1 被引频次合计: 4 摘要: Collaboration business processes enable organisations to communicate, interact and cooperate with each other to achieve their business goals. It becomes more and more important to model and analyse collaboration business processes to guarantee their correctness and consistence. Among various formal methods, Petri nets have become one of the major formal methods due to its strong mathematical foundation, rich analysis techniques and graphical representations. Pi calculus, a branch of process algebra, has been proved to be more capable in modelling interactions and mobility. In this paper, we introduce a mapping model between these two formal methods, which integrates the local flow model of Petri nets and the interaction model of Pi calculus to describe collaboration business processes. The state graphs of Petri nets and Pi calculus are combined together to analyse the structure soundness of the unified model. A collaborative reduction tool is developed to support the unified modelling and analysis method. 地址: [Zhang, L.; Xu, F.] Tsinghua Univ, Sch Software, Beijing 100084, Peoples R China.

Existing service composition system in pervasive computing does not capture state information of the smart objects (SOs). Based on the study of relationships of SOs' states and services, we identify unqualified composite services generated by existing service composition systems, which are either inefficiently executed or fail to complete their execution. This handicaps the applications of pervasive computing because its applications like health care normally need more reliable and timing services. In this paper, we first formally model SOs' states and their transitions using finite state machines and propose extending existing service description technologies using the SOs' state information. The obtained information is then used in designing an algorithm to compose SOs' services, which avoids generating the identified unqualified composite services. The proof of the efficiency of the composite services obtained by our proposed algorithms is elaborated. Finally, a performance study was conducted to evaluate our algorithm against the one without considering SO state information. Our experimental results show that the composite services generated using our algorithm can execute faster and more reliably. 地址: [Feng, Yuhong] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Watermarking based on Krawtchouk moments is local, which permits to the watermark to be embedded at the most significant information-wise portion. Watermark embedding intensity is modified according to the results of performance analysis. The convergence of closed loop embedding system is proved. An optimum watermark detector is designed with the introduction of dual channel detection utilizing high order spectra detection and likelihood detection. The detector extracts watermark blindly utilizing Independent Component Analysis. The computational aspects of the proposed watermarking are discussed. Experimental results demonstrate that this watermarking is robust with respect to attacks produced by watermark benchmark-Stirmark. 地址: [Zhang, Li] Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, State Key Lab Networking & Switching Technol, Beijing 100876, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 12 被引频次合计: 12 摘要: Multiclass cancer classification on microarray data has provided the feasibility of cancer diagnosis across all of the common malignancies in parallel. Using multiclass cancer feature selection approaches, it is now possible to identify genes relevant to a set of cancer types. However, besides identifying the relevant genes for the set of all cancer types, it is deemed to be more informative to biologists if the relevance of each gene to specific cancer or subset of cancer types could be revealed or pinpointed. In this paper, we introduce two new definitions of multiclass relevancy features, i.e., full class relevant (FCR) and partial class relevant (PCR) features. Particularly, FCR denotes genes that serve as candidate biomarkers for discriminating all cancer types. PCR, on the other hand, are genes that distinguish subsets of cancer types. Subsequently, a Markov blanket embedded memetic algorithm is proposed for the simultaneous identification of both FCR and PCR genes. Results obtained on commonly used synthetic and real-world microarray data sets show that the proposed approach converges to valid FCR and PCR genes that would assist biologists in their research work. The identification of both FCR and PCR genes is found to generate improvement in classification accuracy on many microarray data sets. Further comparison study to existing state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms also reveals the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. 地址: [Zhu, Zexuan] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Due to the importance of traffic theory in the Internet, to find a solution to that problem is greatly desired. This paper presents a method of the weak stationarity test of a single history LRD traffic series of finite length. How to apply this method to testing the stationarity of real traffic is demonstrated. The results in this paper suggest that there may be no general conclusion that traffic is either stationary or non-stationary since the stationarity of traffic is observation-scale dependent. Some of the investigated real-traffic traces that are stationary in an observation scale may be non-stationary in a larger observation scale. 地址: [Li, Ming] E China Normal Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Shanghai 200241, Peoples R China.

However, PSO has premature convergence, especially in complex multimodal functions. Extremal optimization (EO) is a recently developed local-search heuristic method and has been successfully applied to a wide variety of hard optimization problems. To overcome the limitation of PSO, this paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm, called hybrid PSO-EO algorithm, through introducing EO to PSO. The hybrid approach elegantly combines the exploration ability of PSO with the exploitation ability of EO. We testify the performance of the proposed approach on a suite of unimodal/multimodal benchmark functions and provide comparisons with other meta-heuristics. The proposed approach is shown to have superior performance and great capability of preventing premature convergence across it comparing favorably with the other algorithms. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The main notion of these approaches is to perform more coarse-grained search at initial stage in order to speed up the convergence toward the Pareto-optimal front. Once the solutions are getting close to the Pareto-optimal front, more fine-grained search is performed in order to reduce the gaps between the solutions and the Pareto-optimal front. Based on this purpose, a cooling schedule is adopted in these approaches, reducing the parameters gradually to a minimal threshold, the aim of which is to keep a desirable balance between fine-grained search and coarse-grained search. By this means, the exploratory capabilities of NCMO are enhanced. When compared with various state-of-the-art multiobjective optimization algorithms developed recently, simulation results show that NCMO has remarkable performance. 地址: [Chen, Jianyong; Lin, Qiuzhen; Hu, Qingbin] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Chen, JY (通讯作者),Shenzhen Univ, Coll Informat Engn, Nanhai Ave 3688, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: cjyok2000@hotmail.com; qiuzheng658@163.com; huqb@szu.edu.cn 第 238 条,共 274 条 标题: CCA-secure unidirectional proxy re-encryption in the adaptive corruption model without random oracles 作者: Weng, J (Weng Jian); Chen, MR (Chen MinRong); Yang, YJ (Yang YanJiang); Deng, R (Deng, Robert); Chen, KF (Chen Kefei); Bao, F (Bao Feng) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 22 被引频次合计: 28 摘要: Up to now, it is still an open question of how to construct a chosen-ciphertext secure unidirectional proxy re-encryption scheme in the adaptive corruption model.

Rather than a blessing, this feature is treated more as an interference-inducing nuisance in most wireless networks today (e. g., IEEE 802.11). This paper shows that the concept of network coding can be applied at the physical layer to turn the broadcast property into a capacity-boosting advantage in wireless ad hoc networks. Specifically, we propose a physical-layer network coding (PNC) scheme to coordinate transmissions among nodes. In contrast to "straightforward" network coding which performs coding arithmetic on digital bit streams after they have been received, PNC makes use of the additive nature of simultaneously arriving electromagnetic (EM) waves for equivalent coding operation. And in doing so, PNC can potentially achieve 100% and 50% throughput increases compared with traditional transmission and straightforward network coding, respectively, in 1D regular linear networks with multiple random flows. The throughput improvements are even larger in 2D regular networks: 200% and 100%, respectively. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Zhang and S. C.

The penalized problem is a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE).

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 27 被引频次合计: 31 摘要: Hyperspectral imagery generally contains enormous amounts of data because of hundreds of spectral bands. Band selection is often adopted to reduce computational cost and accelerate knowledge discovery and other tasks such as subsequent classification. An exemplar-based clustering algorithm termed affinity propagation for band selection is proposed. Affinity propagation is derived from factor graph, and operates by initially considering all data points as potential cluster centres (exemplars) and then exchanging messages between data points until a good set of exemplars and clusters emerges. Affinity propagation has been applied to computer vision and bioinformatics, and shown to be much faster than other clustering methods for large data. By combining the information about the discriminative capability of each individual band and the correlation/similarity between bands, the exemplars generated by affine propagation have higher importance and less correlation/similarity. The performance of band selection is evaluated through a pixel image classification task. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with some popular band selection methods, the bands selected by affinity propagation best characterise the hyperspectral imagery from the pixel classification standpoint. 地址: [Qian, Y.; Yao, F.] Zhejiang Univ, Coll Comp Sci, Hangzhou 310027, Zhejiang, Peoples R China.

In addition to a concrete realization which is named the YASS algorithm in this paper, a few strategies were proposed to work with the YASS algorithm in order to enhance the data embedding rate and security. In this work, the YASS algorithm and these strategies, together referred to as YASS, have been analyzed from a warden's perspective. It is observed that the embedding locations chosen by YASS are not randomized enough and the YASS embedding scheme causes detectable artifacts. We present a steganalytic method to attack the YASS algorithm, which is facilitated by a specifically selected steganalytic observation domain (SO-domain), a term to define the domain from which steganalytic features are extracted. The proposed SO-domain is not exactly, but partially accesses, the domain where the YASS algorithm embeds data. Statistical features generated from the SO-domain have demonstrated high effectiveness in detecting the YASS algorithm and identifying some embedding parameters. In addition, we discuss how to defeat the above-mentioned strategies of YASS and demonstrate a countermeasure to a new case in which the randomness of the embedding locations is enhanced. The success of detecting YASS by the proposed method indicates a properly selected SO-domain is beneficial for steganalysis and confirms that the embedding locations are of great importance in designing a secure steganographic scheme. 地址: [Li, Bin; Huang, Jiwu] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Sch Informat Sci & Technol, Guangzhou 510275, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

Access control is an important security mechanism for organizations to protect their resources in collaborative environments. Many access control models and mechanisms have been proposed for collaborative systems. However, under the new collaborative paradigm based on Web services and workflow technologies, some specific access control requirements should be addressed to support the various process collaboration patterns. In this paper, we present a task-activity based access control (TABAC) model for process collaboration environments. In TABAC, business process is composed by activities and dynamic permissions are related to tasks. Task permissions can be dynamically assigned to processes during the interaction of activities. A SOAP based interaction protocol is also proposed to transmit task permissions between processes. Finally, we describe the implementation of TABAC model in workflow management system which conforms to the XACML and WS-BPEL specifications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

This is in contrast to the traditional multiple-access problem, in which the goal is to obtain both S(1) and S(2) explicitly at the relay node. Trying to obtain S(1) and S(2) explicitly is an overkill if we are only interested in S(1) circle plus S(2). In this paper, we refer to the transformation Y(3) -> S(1) circle plus S(2) as the Channel-decoding-Network-Coding process (CNC) in that it involves both channel decoding and network coding operations. This paper shows that if we adopt the Repeat Accumulate (RA) channel code at the two end nodes, then there is a compatible decoder at the relay that can perform the transformation Y(3) -> S(1) circle plus S(2) efficiently. Specifically, we redesign the belief propagation decoding algorithm of the RA code for traditional point-to-point channel to suit the need of the PNC multiple-access channel. Simulation results show that our new scheme outperforms the previously proposed schemes significantly in terms of BER without added complexity. 地址: [Zhang, Shengli; Liew, Soung-Chang] Chinese Univ Hong Kong, Dept Informat Engn, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

This note describes an expression with two parameters for modeling the shape of the failure surface in the octahedral plane. By studying the roles of these two parameters and comparing the new criterion with the aforementioned criteria, the advantage and flexibility of the proposed function is explored.

The major drawback of LDA is the so-called small sample size (3S) problem. This problem always occurs when the total number of training samples is smaller than the dimension of feature space. Under this situation, the within-class scatter matrix S(w) becomes singular and LDA approach cannot be implemented directly. To overcome the 3S problem, this paper proposes a novel wavelet-face based subspace LDA algorithm. Wavelet-face feature extraction and dimensionality reduction are based on two-level D4-filter wavelet transform and discarding the null space of total class scatter matrix S(t). It is shown that our obtained projection matrix satisfies the uncorrelated constraint conditions. Hence in the sense of statistical uncorrelation, this projection matrix is optimal. The proposed method for face recognition has been evaluated with two public available databases, namely ORL and FERET databases. Comparing with existing LDA-based methods to solve the 3S problem, our method gives the best performance. 地址: [Chen, Wen-Sheng; Zou, Jin] Leshan Teachers Coll, Dept Math, Leshan 614004, Peoples R China.

With the SC information from the IP/MPLS layer, the optical layer can calculate a lightpath between two node sets rather than the earlier suggested approach of calculating such paths just between two nodes for better performance. We have used two criteria, bandwidth and path length, to find SCs and have proposed two algorithms which incorporate this in the path inflation control (PIC) policy proposed earlier. Two typical networks, NSF and COST239, were used for examining the network performance. The simulation results show that though both methods can significantly improve the overall network performance the SC method is more efficient for a sparse network like the NSF network rather than for a dense network like the COST239 network. Since calculating lightpaths for all node pairs for a SC is time consuming, we propose a considerably simpler heuristic approach that can provide almost the same level of performance improvement as the SC method but with much lower complexity. 地址: [Chen, Bin; Wang, Hui] Shenzhen Univ, Fac Informat Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Guangdong, Peoples R China.

More importantly, a conventional nonlinear array receiver is often associated with a high computational complexity that undermines its applicability in practice. In this paper, we present a new approach to adaptive beamforming receiver that provides superior performance in antenna array overloading and in the presence of correlated signals with a low complexity. In particular, the proposed receiver requires a small data-record size to estimate the beamformer weights, which is beneficial in applications with fast fading channels. Simulation examples illustrate the performance improvement of the proposed array receiver when it is compared to the conventional beamformers.

However, in a wireless sensor network, transmitting packets over deep fading channel can incur excessive energy consumption due to the usage of stronger forwarding error code (FEC) or more robust modulation mode. To avoid such energy inefficient transmission, a straightforward approach is to temporarily buffer packets when the channel is in deep fading, until the channel quality recovers. Unfortunately, packet buffering may lead to communication latency and buffer overflow, which, in turn, can result in severe degradation in communication performance. Specifically, to improve the buffering approach, we need to address two challenging issues: (1) how long should we buffer the packets? and (2) how to choose the optimum channel transmission threshold above which to transmit the buffered packets? In this paper, by using discrete-time queuing model, we analyze the effects of Rayleigh fading over AMC-based communications in a wireless sensor network. We then analytically derive the packet delivery rate and average delay. Guided by these numerical results, we can determine the most energy-efficient operation modes under different transmission environments. Extensive simulation results have validated the analytical results, and indicates that under these modes, we can achieve as much as 40% reduction in energy dissipation.

In trying to achieve QoS guaranteed wireless services, efficient utilisation of bandwidth resources becomes a fundamental issue. A number of channel allocation schemes have been proposed to fully utilise the wireless bandwidth, but many of them just proposed the channel allocation scheme without presenting a specific channel allocation model. In this paper, we propose and analyse three different channel allocation schemes for wireless networks. We build three system models based on a two-dimensional Markov chain to compute the performance of base station in terms of the new call blocking probability, the handover dropping probability, and the channel utilisation. 地址: [Du, Wenfeng] Shenzhen Univ, Dept Comp Sci & Technol, Sch Comp & Software Engn, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

How to reduce thousands of genes and to select a suitable classifier are two key issues for gene expression data classification. This paper introduces a framework on combining both feature extraction and classifier simultaneously. Considering the non-negativity, high dimensionality and small sample size, we apply a discriminative mixture model which is designed for non-negative gene express data classification via non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for dimension reduction. In order to enhance the sparseness of training data for fast learning of the mixture model, a generalized NMF is also adopted. Experimental results on several real gene expression datasets show that the classification accuracy, stability and decision quality can be significantly improved by using the generalized method, and the proposed method can give better performance than some previous reported results on the same datasets. 地址: [Liu, Weixiang; Yuan, Kehong; Wu, Jian; Ye, Datian] Tsinghua Univ, Grad Sch Shenzhen, Biomed Engn Res Ctr, Div Life Sci, Shenzhen 518055, Peoples R China.

In traditional designs, network coding operates at upper layers above (including) the link layer and it requires the input packets to be correctly decoded. However, this requirement may limit the performance and application of network coding due to the unavoidable fading and noise in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a new wireless network coding scheme for TWRC, which is referred to as soft network coding (SoftNC). where the relay nodes applies symbol-by-symbol soft decisions on the received signals from the two end nodes to come tip with the network coded information to be forwarded. We do not assume further channel coding on top of SoftNC at the relay node (channel coding is assumed at the end nodes). According to measures of the soft information adopted, two kinds of SoftNC are proposed: amplify-and-forward SoftNC (AF-SoftNC) and soft-bit-forward SoftNC (SBF-SoftNC). We analyze the both the ergodic capacity and the outage capacity of the two SoftNC schemes. Specifically, analytical form approximations of the ergodic capacity and the outage capacity of the two schemes are given and validated. Numerical simulation shows that our SoftNC schemes can outperform the traditional network coding based two-way relay protocol, where channel decoding and re-encoding are used at the relay node. Notable is the fact that performance improvement is achieved using only simple symbol-level operations at the relay node. 地址: [Zhang, Shengli; Liew, Soung Chang] Chinese Univ Hong Kong, Dept Informat Engn, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 7 被引频次合计: 7 摘要: This paper presents a lifecycle model (LCM) to simulate bacterial evolution from a finite population of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. The potential of this approach is in relating the microscopic behaviors of single bacterial cell to the macroscopic effects of bacterial colonies. This can be accomplished via use of an individual-based modeling method under the framework of agent-environment-rule (AER). Here, our study focuses on investigating the behaviors at different developmental stages in E. coli lifecycle and developing a new biologically inspired methodology for static or dynamic systems. The experimental results through a varying environment demonstrates that our model can be used to study under which circumstances a certain bacterial behaviors emerges, and also give an inspiration to design a new biological optimization algorithm being used for optimization problems.

Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 3 被引频次合计: 4 摘要: Task-based access control (TBAC) is a flexible security mechanism, which has been widely implemented in workflow management systems. In TBAC, permissions are assigned to tasks and users can only obtain the permissions during the execution of tasks. The authors aim at developing a method for formalising and analysing security properties of workflow systems under TBAC policy. To achieve this goal, the authors first present WFPI, workflow pi-calculus. By adding task execution and submission primitives, and tagging each agent with its executing and distributing tasks, WFPI can flexibly represent the concepts and elements in workflow systems. Then, based on WFPI, a type system is proposed to ensure that the well-typed workflow systems can abide by the TBAC policy at run time, by avoiding run-time access violations. To the best of one's knowledge, the present research is the first attempt to study workflow access control by process calculus and types. 地址: [Lu, Y.] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Software, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

Gene cluster analysis is found useful for discovering the function of gene because co-expressed genes are likely to share the same biological function. K-means is one of well-known clustering methods. However, it is sensitive to the selection of an initial clustering and easily becoming trapped in a local minimum. Particle-pair optimizer (PPO) is a variation on the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, which is stochastic particle-pair based optimization technique that can be applied to a wide range of problems. In this paper we bridges PPO and K-means within the algorithm PK-means for the first time. Our results indicate that PK-means clustering is generally more accurate than K-means and Fuzzy K-means (FKM). PK-means also has better robustness for it is less sensitive to the initial randomly selected cluster centroids. Finally, our algorithm outperforms these methods with fast convergence rate and low computation load.

However, many proposed image watermarking techniques are sensitive to afire transforms, such as rotation, scaling and translation. Here, a local affine transform invariant watermarking is designed and tested against attacks performed by Stirmark using the Krawtchouk moment invariants. Watermark is inserted into the perceptually significant Krawtchouk moment invariants of the original image, and watermarking based on Krawtchouk moment invariants are local, that is, the embedded watermark affects only a selected portion of the original image, the position of which can be decided by the user. This, in effect, permits the watermark to be embedded at the portion of the image which is most significant information-wise. This also means that the watermark is especially robust to cropping. Independent component analysis (ICA) is utilised by detector to extract the perfect watermark blindly. The computational aspects of the proposed watermarking are also discussed in detail. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed watermarking technique has a good robustness against other attacks performed by Stirmark including affine transform, cropping, filtering, image compression and random geometric distortions. It is indicated that the proposed watermarking has superior advantages over the existing ones in many aspects. 地址: [Zhang, L.; Xiao, W.

Despite that a plethora of work has been done in designing energy efficient protocols for sensor networks, the time-varying nature of wireless channel is largely unexplored. Indeed. we believe that a cross-layer design on power aware communication is necessary to further optimize energy usage. In this paper, we propose a new channel adaptive power aware protocol, called CAEM, which works by dynamically adjusting the data throughput under different channel conditions with the help of an adaptive channel coding and modulation facility. Each sensor device judiciously accesses the wireless medium in that communication activity is reduced for devices under poor channel conditions. Simulation results indicate that the proposed CAEM protocol can lead to energy conservation by as much as 30 percent. Furthermore, CAEM is also efficient in channel utilization as it generates a higher data throughput even under heavy traffic load.

In this paper, we incorporate the merits of both global and local alignment algorithms to de. ne structure distortion using signature skeletons identified by a robust wavelet thinning technique. A weak a. ne model is employed to globally register two signature skeletons and structure distortion between two signature patterns, which are determined by applying an elastic local alignment algorithm. Similarity measurement is evaluated in the form of Euclidean distance of all found corresponding feature points. Experimental results showed that the proposed similarity measurement was able to provide sufficient discriminatory information in terms of equal error rate being 18.6% with four training samples. 地址: Chongqing Technol & Business Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Informat Engn, Chongqing 400067, Peoples R China.

To realize true energy saving in a wireless environment, the time varying property of the wireless channel should also be taken into account. Unfortunately, this factor has long been ignored in most existing state-of-the-art energy saving protocols. Neglecting the effects of varying channel quality can lead to an unnecessary waste of precious battery resources, and, in turn, can result in the rapid depletion of sensor energy and partitioning of the network. In this paper, we propose a channel adaptive energy management protocol, called CAEM, that can exploit this time varying nature of the wireless link. Specifically, CAEM leverages on the synergistically cross-layer interaction between physical and MAC layers. Thus, each sensor node can intelligently access the wireless medium according to the current wireless link quality and the predicted traffic load, to realize an efficient utilization of the energy. Extensive simulation results indicate that CAEM can achieve as much as 40% reduction in energy dissipation compared with traditional protocols without channel adaptation. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

With proper convertible signature scheme and message logging method, the exchange protocol provides a recovery method for network and local system failures. To the best of our knowledge, this protocol is the first fault-tolerant exchange protocol in the context of offline TTP and asynchronous channels. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

The objective of FDA is to find an optimal projection matrix, which maximizes the between-class-distance and simultaneously minimizes within-class-distance. The main limitation of traditional FDA is the so-called Small Sample Size (3S) problem. It induces that the within-class scatter matrix is singular and then the traditional FDA fails to perform directly for pattern classification. To overcome 3S problem, this paper proposes a novel two-step single parameter regularization Fisher discriminant (2SRFD) algorithm for face recognition. The first semi-regularized step is based on a rank lifting theorem. This step adjusts both the projection directions and their corresponding weights. Our previous three-to-one parameter regularized technique is exploited in the second stage, which just changes the weights of projection directions. It is shown that the final regularized within-class scatter matrix approaches the original within-class scatter matrix as the single parameter tends to zero. Also, our method has good computational complexity. The proposed method has been tested and evaluated with three public available databases, namely ORL, CMU PIE and FERET face databases. Comparing with existing state-of-the-art FDA-based methods in solving the S3 problem, the proposed 2SRFD approach gives the best performance. 地址: Shenzhen Univ, Coll Sci, Shenzhen 518060, Peoples R China.

This paper addresses the Neumann exterior problem of Stokes equations using the wavelet natural boundary element method. The Stokes exterior problem is reduced into an equivalent Hadamard-singular Natural Integral Equation (NIE). By virtue of the wavelet-Galerkin algorithm, the simple and accurate computational formulae of stiffness matrix are obtained. The 2(J+3) x 2(J+3) stiffness matrix is sparse and determined only by its 2(J) + 3J + 1 entries. It greatly decreases the computational complexity. Also, the condition number of stiffness matrix is O(N), where N is the discrete node number. This indicates that the proposed algorithm is more stable than that of classical finite element method. The error estimates are established for the wavelet-Galerkin approximate solution. Several numerical examples are given to evaluate the performance of our method with encouraging results. 地址: Hubei Univ, Fac Math & Comp Sci, Wuhan 430062, Peoples R China.

A couple of Choquet integrals are used to achieve the classification boundaries which can classify data in situations such as one class surrounding another one in a high dimensional space. The classification problems come down to properly specifying the fuzzy measure with respect to which the Choquet integral(s) are defined and the classifying boundaries by which the different classes are separated.

In this paper, a generalized nonlinear classification model based on single Choquet integral is summarized, and a novel generalized nonlinear classification model based on cross-oriented Choquet integrals is presented. Compared to the classification model based on single Choquet integral, a couple of Choquet integral are used to achieve the classification boundaries which can classify data in such situation as one class surrounding another one in a high dimensional space. The classification problems come down to properly specifying the fuzzy measure on which the Choquet integral(s) are defined and the classifying boundaries by which the different classes are separated. The values of these unknown parameters are optimally determined by evolutionary computation. The performance of these models are compared and validated with existed methods on a number of benchmark datasets. 地址: [Yang, Rong; Ouyang, Ren] Shen Zhen Univ, Coll Mechatron & Control Engn, Shen Zhen, Peoples R China. 通讯作者地址: Yang, R (通讯作者),Shen Zhen Univ, Coll Mechatron & Control Engn, Shen Zhen, Peoples R China. 电子邮件地址: ryang@szu.edu.cn 第 273 条,共 274 条 标题: Representing and matching simulation cases: A case-based reasoning approach 作者: Zhou, M (Zhou, Ming); Chen, ZM (Chen, Zhimin); He, WJ (He, Wenjing); Chen, X (Chen, Xu) Web of Science 核心合集中的 "被引频次": 5 被引频次合计: 5 摘要: Simulation modelling is a complex decision-making process that involves the processing of various knowledge and information within a context defined by specific application. Building a "good" simulation model has been heavily reliant on the skill and experience of human expert, which has become one of the most expensive and limited resources in market competition. Case-based reasoning (CBR) can be used to effectively solve problems in ill-defined domains where operations specific knowledge and information are processed in a contextual manner such as simulation modeling. This paper addresses some of the basic issues in applying CBR to improve simulation modeling, with emphasis on knowledge or case representation, case indexing. and case matching. Numerical examples and experimental studies were conducted to verify and validate the concepts and model/algorithms developed. The results showed the effectiveness and applicability of proposed method. Published by Elsevier Ltd. 地址: [Zhou, Ming] Indiana State Univ, Ctr Syst Modeling & Simulat, Terre Haute, IN 47809 USA.

In particular, we propose a factored covariance model for the data under study, estimate the parameters using maximum likelihood, and then carry out eigendecompositions of the estimated covariance matrix. We call the resulting method factored principal components analysis. We also develop a method for classification using a likelihood ratio criterion, which has previously been used for evaluating the strength of forensic evidence. The methodology is illustrated with applications in face recognition. 地址: [Dryden, Ian L.; Brignell, Christopher J.] Univ Nottingham, Sch Math Sci, Nottingham NG7 2RD, England.

A lot of work has been done on volume and velocity, but not as much has been reported on variety. To handle the variety of data, universal solutions with acceptable performance are usually much more cost effective than customized solutions. To achieve universality, a basic idea is to first define a universal abstraction that covers a wide range of data types, and then build a universal system for universal abstraction. Traditional database management systems commonly use a multidimensional data type, or feature vectors, as a universal abstraction. However, many new data types in AAL systems cannot be abstracted into multidimensional space. To find a more universal data abstraction and build more universal systems, we propose the concept of big data abstraction, with metric space as a universal abstraction for AAL data types. Furthermore, to demonstrate how metric-space data abstraction works, we survey the state of the art in metric space indexing, a fundamental task in data management. Finally, open research issues are discussed. 地址: [Mao, Rui] Shenzhen Univ, Coll Comp Sci & Software Engn, Shenzhen, Peoples R China. [Xu, Honglong; Li, Yan] Shenzhen Univ, Shenzhen, Peoples R China.
