Temporal reasoning on Twitter streams using semantic web technologies

There has been a significant increase in recent years in the volume and diversity of streams of data, data streams from sensors, data streams arising from the analysis of content or data mining, right through to user generated Twitter streams. There has been a corresponding increase in demand for more real-time analysis of these streams in […]

Online Social Networks Privacy Study Through TAPE Framework

While personal information privacy is threatened by online social networks, researchers are seeking for privacy protection tools and methods to assist online social network users. In this paper, we propose a Trust-Aware Privacy Evaluation framework, called TAPE, aiming to address this problem. Under the TAPE framework we investigate how to quantitatively evaluate the privacy risk, as a function of people’s […]

Cluster-Based Epidemic Control through Smartphone-Based Body Area Networks

Increasing population density, closer social contact and interactions make epidemic control difficult. Traditional offline epidemic control methods (e.g., using medical survey or medical records) or model-based approach are not effective due to its inability to gather health data and social contact information simultaneously or impractical statistical assumption about the dynamics of social contact networks, respectively. In addition, it is challenging to find […]

Crowd-Sensing Meets Situation Awareness: A Research Roadmap for Crisis Management

When disaster strikes, human lives may depend upon emergency organizations’ rapid establishment of Situation Awareness (SAW) to take the appropriate decisions and actions. Recently, systems emerged, enabling humans to act as crowd sensors contributing valuable crisis information via mobile devices through social media channels. This should allow enhancing situational pictures gained through traditional SAW systems, as employed in control […]

Tenor: A Measure of Central Tendency for Distributed Networks

We introduce a new tendency measure for a probability mass function (pmf) referred to as “tenor,” and defined in terms of the phase of the first non-zero frequency of the discrete Fourier transform of the pmf. This statistic is in the vicinity of the region of highest probability of the pmf. Unlike mean, tenor is […]

Wireless sensor network: Routing protocols and attacks- a survey

Based on end user application a network of hundreds or even thousands of sensor nodes, also known as wireless sensor network, can collect valuable data from an unassisted environment and transmit the information to the user. This transmission can be routed from one node to another using numerous routing protocols for wireless sensor network. Though […]

Performance analysis of routing protocols for vehicular adhoc networks using NS2/SUMO

Development of intelligent transportation system is the need of all the developing countries where urbanization and industrialization is rapidly growing. VANETs are being used as a tool for improving road safety by alarming the drivers about accidents occurred ahead of them or for providing internet access to the passengers via gateways along the road. Due […]

A Quasigroup based cipher algorithm for Ad-Hoc wireless networks

Security is the main concern in today’s wireless network environment. However, cipher algorithms consume a lot of resources to provide the required confidentiality. Ad-Hoc wireless networks are one area where the devices are extremely resource constrained. Therefore computationally simple yet cryptographically strong cipher algorithms are required for such kind of networks. In this paper a […]

Study on minimizing broadcast redundancy in strong DAD

A broadcast operation is the fundamental transmission technique in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Because a broadcast operation can cause a broadcast storm, only selected forwarding nodes have the right to rebroadcast a broadcast message among the one-hop and two-hop neighboring nodes of a sender. This paper proposes a novel algorithm to minimize broadcasting redundancy in […]

On Delay Constrained Multicast Capacity of Large-Scale Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

This paper studies the delay constrained multicast capacity of large scale mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We consider a MANET that consists of ns multicast sessions. Each multicast session has one source and p destinations. Each source sends identical information to the p destinations in its multicast session, and the information is required to be delivered to […]
