Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
Robust human silhouette extraction with Laplacian fitting
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Human silhouette extraction has been a primary step to estimate human poses or classify activities from videos. While the accuracy of human silhouettes has great impact on the follow-on human pose/gait estimation, it has ...
DiSWOP: A novel measure for cell-level protein network analysis in localized proteomics image data
(
Oxford Journals
, 2014 , Article)
Motivation: New bioimaging techniques have recently been proposed to visualize the colocation or interaction of several proteins within individual cells, displaying the heterogeneity of neighbouring cells within the same ...
Optimal power allocation for smart-grid powered point-to-point cognitive radio system
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an optimal power allocation analysis for a point-to-point wireless system when powered by a smart grid. We propose to minimize the total power consumption cost while ensuring individual and total ...
A survey and taxonomy on energy efficient resource allocation techniques for cloud computing systems
(
Springer
, 2014 , Article)
In a cloud computing paradigm, energy efficient allocation of different virtualized ICT resources (servers, storage disks, and networks, and the like) is a complex problem due to the presence of heterogeneous application ...
Towards agile approach for better user satisfaction
(
Mundo Press
, 2014 , Article)
User satisfaction is a cornerstone indicator of any successful software project. Software projects are classified as successful only if the users are satisfied with the delivered software project result. Reducing the gap ...
HLS based hardware acceleration on the zynq SoC: A case study for fall detection system
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Fall detection is a major problem in healthcare systems, especially for elderly people who are the most vulnerable. It is important to design and implement not only an accurate fall detection system (FDS) but also a system ...
On the power efficiency for cognitive radio networks with multiple relays
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study and analyze cooperative cognitive radio networks with multiple secondary users (SUs). Each SU is considered a prospective relay for the primary user (PU) besides having its own data demand. The ...
Evaluation model for e-tourism product: A hidden Markov model-based algorithm
(
Inderscience
, 2014 , Article)
Nowadays, e-tourism is widely pronounced as a kind of web marketing for tourism businesses. Tourist agencies and tourism service providers are able to access their customers directly in a cost-effective way. In this context, ...
Resources allocation for large-scale dynamic spectrum access system using particle filtering
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an efficient spectrum and power allocation solution for a large scale dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems. Unlike conventional methods relying on optimization techniques which need huge computational ...
