Low-overhead routing algorithm for opportunistic networks based on immunity information piggybacked by SV by Zhi REN, Cong CHEN, Ya-nan CAO, Chen PENG, Qian-bin CHEN

“…A novel routing algorithm,LRPI (low-overhead routing with piggybacked immunity information) was proposed.LRPI contains the following four new mechanisms:piggybacking the immune information with SV(summary vectors),fast generation of the immune information through a cross-layer method,an improved exchange mechanism of SV,and adaptive compression of SV.Based on the above new mechanism,LRPI not only avoids using special data structure but also can achieve the same immune function more quickly.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that LRPI outperforms the classical epidemic routing algorithm and a few of its improvements in terms of control overhead,the number of saved packets,and average end-to-end delay.…”

Risk assessing and privacy-preserving scheme for privacy leakage in APP by Xinyu WANG, Ben NIU, Fenghua LI, Kun HE

“…The APP in smartphone contain various third-party services.However,the service providers illegally read the user’s private information.To address this problem,a privacy risk assessing scheme called PRAS was proposed.Firstly,a model was built to assess the risk of privacy leakage,by counting all the permissions acquired by each service providers and considering the non-linear impact of the permissions combination on privacy leakage.Then,by analyzing the balance between service quality and privacy-preserving,an optimal model was used to minimized the risk of private information leakage,and a permission management method was given to protect the privacy information among APP.The experiment results show that PRAS reduces the risk of privacy leakage by an average of 18.5%.…”

Enabling Dynamic Sensor Configuration and Cooperation in Opportunistic Activity Recognition Systems by Marc Kurz, Gerold Hölzl, Alois Ferscha

“…Sensors have to be utilized upon their spontaneous availability and activity recognition capabilities and dynamic sensor ensembles have to be configured at runtime with respect to maximized recognition accuracy and minimized energy consumption. This requirement contains two research challenges that this paper tackles: (i) estimating the accuracy of an ensemble without being able to compare the output in the form of recognized activity classes to a (labeled) ground truth and (ii) optimizing the accuracy/energy trade-off by applying exact and heuristic methods adapted for cooperative sensor ensembles.…”

Parameter depending almost monotonic functions and their applications to dimensions in metric measure spaces by Natasha Samko

“…In connection with application to various problems of operator theory, we study almost monotonic functions w(x, r) depending on a parameter x which runs a metric measure space X, and the so called index numbers m(w, x), M(w, x) of such functions, and consider some generalized Zygmund, Bary, Lozinskii and Stechkin conditions. The main results contain necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of lower and upper bounds of indices m(w, x) and M(w, x) , for the uniform belongness of functions w(·, r) to Zygmund-Bary-Stechkin classes. …”
