Computational offloading is a promising approach for overcoming resource constraints on client devices by moving some or all of an application's computations to remote servers. With the advent of specialized hardware accelerators, client…
Product Data Management (PDM) aims to provide 'Systems' contributing in industries by electronically maintaining organizational data, improving data repository system, facilitating with easy access to CAD and providing additional…
Push message delivery, where a client maintains an ``always-on'' connection with a server in order to be notified of a (asynchronous) message arrival in real-time, is increasingly being used in Internet services. The key message in this…
The movement for open-design focuses on the creation of machines, physical systems, and products using design information shared publicly. It consists of the development of systems incorporating open-source hardware and software which can…
Over the past few decades, the amount of scientific articles and technical literature has increased exponentially in size. Consequently, there is a great need for systems that can ingest these documents at scale and make their content…
When seeking information not covered in patient-friendly documents, like medical pamphlets, healthcare consumers may turn to the research literature. Reading medical papers, however, can be a challenging experience. To improve access to…
The computational demands for scientific applications are continuously increasing. The emergence of cloud computing has enabled on-demand resource allocation. However, relying solely on infrastructure as a service does not achieve the…
In model-driven engineering, the bidirectional transformation of models plays a crucial role in facilitating the use of editors that operate at different levels of abstraction. This is particularly important in the context of…
Offloading of cellular traffic through a wireless local area network (WLAN) is theoretically evaluated. First, empirical data sets of the locations of WLAN internet access points are analyzed and an inhomogeneous Poisson process consisting…
The LOCKSS digital preservation system collects content by crawling the web and preserves it in the format supplied by the publisher. Eventually, browsers will no longer understand that format. A process called format migration converts it…
This paper is motivated by emerging edge computing systems which consist of sensor nodes that acquire and process information and then transmit status updates to an edge receiver for possible further processing. As power is a scarce…
Web services are widely used in many areas via callable APIs, however, data are not always available in this way. We always need to get some data from web pages whose structure is not in order. Many developers use web data extraction…
Current best practices heavily control user permissions on network systems. This effectively mitigates many insider threats regarding the collection and exfiltration of data. Many methods of covert communication involve crafting custom…
In order for an e-commerce platform to maximize its revenue, it must recommend customers items they are most likely to purchase. However, the company often has business constraints on these items, such as the number of each item in stock.…
Decision-making is a cognitively intensive task that requires synthesizing relevant information from multiple unstructured sources, weighing competing factors, and incorporating subjective user preferences. Existing methods, including large…
Faceted browsing is a commonly supported feature of user interfaces for access to information. Existing interfaces generally treat facet values selected by a user as hard filters and respond to the user by only displaying information items…
The evolution of the Internet and computer applications have generated colossal amount of data. They are referred to as Big Data and they consist of huge volume, high velocity, and variable datasets that need to be managed at the right…
In this paper, we propose an approach to providing the benefits of isolation in service-oriented applications where it is not feasible to hold traditional locks for ACID transactions. Our technique, called "Promises", provides an uniform…
The transfer of the medical care services to the patient, rather than the transport of the patient to the medical services providers is aim of the project. This is achieved by using web-based applications including Modern Medical…
Although 'Halcyon' means serene environment which pervasive computing aims at, we have tried to present a different interpretation of this word. Through our approach, we look at it in context of achieving future 'calm technology'. The paper…
