In this paper, we investigate a multi-objective optimization framework for secure wireless health monitoring applications. In particular, we consider a legitimate link for the transmission of a vital EEG signal, threatened ...

Designing a pedagogically sound and technically executable collaboration script is a highly complex, time-consuming and error-prone task. This paper presents a model-driven approach to enable practitioners to design online ...

In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells using distributed multi-agent Q-learning. We formulate and solve two problems ...

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 ...

This paper shows ways in which computing history can make the delivery of teaching computing courses relevant. The authors’ approach involves using computing history as a recurring theme throughout courses by adapting ...

Acquisition of new vocabulary is an important element for language learning but it requires repeated and varied exposure to the new words and their usage. This paper reports the experience of designing and developing a ...

The first step to ensure the success of applications in a specific field consists in producing a complete and representative model of the studied system. This alignment with reality is not easy to achieve though. This is ...

This paper proposes a cognitive radio-based dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for secondary users in a cluster-based WiMAX network. It uses a learning automata-based algorithm to find the optimal transmission channel, ...

This chapter presents the findings of the first phase of a four-phase research study that involves the design and development of an integrated architecture for a mobile learning platform. During this phase, a high-level ...

The project described in this paper involves designing and developing a mobile map application, called the Qatar Map (Q-Map), which supports a telephone directory assistance service that runs over the terrestrial cellular ...
