Due to the increasing demand for cloud services and the threat of privacy invasion, the user is suggested to encrypt the data before it is outsourced to the remote server. The safe storage and efficient retrieval of d-dimensional data on an…
Efficient allocation of finite resources is a crucial problem in a wide variety of on-demand smart city applications. Service requests often appear randomly over time and space with varying intensity. Resource provisioning decisions need to…
Most exact methods for k-nearest neighbour search suffer from the curse of dimensionality; that is, their query times exhibit exponential dependence on either the ambient or the intrinsic dimensionality. Dynamic Continuous Indexing (DCI)…
Monitoring location updates from mobile users has important applications in many areas, ranging from public safety and national security to social networks and advertising. However, sensitive information can be derived from movement…
As organizations struggle with processing vast amounts of information, outsourcing sensitive data to third parties becomes a necessity. To protect the data, various cryptographic techniques are used in outsourced database systems to ensure…
The need for scalable concurrent ordered set data structures with linearizable range query support is increasing due to the rise of multicore computers, data processing platforms and in-memory databases. This paper presents a new concurrent…
With the wide deployment of public cloud computing infrastructures, using clouds to host data query services has become an appealing solution for the advantages on scalability and cost-saving. However, some data might be sensitive that the…
Directly releasing those data raises privacy and liability (e.g., due to unauthorized distribution of such datasets) concerns since location data contain users' sensitive information, e.g., regular moving patterns and favorite spots. To…
Duplication can be a powerful strategy for overcoming stragglers in cloud services, but is often used conservatively because of the risk of overloading the system. We present duplicate-aware scheduling or DAS, which makes duplication safe…
Image transmission and processing systems in resource-critical applications face significant challenges from adversarial perturbations that compromise mission-specific object classification. Current robustness testing methods require…
Symmetric searchable encryption (SSE) for geo-textual data has attracted significant attention. However, existing schemes rely on task-specific, incompatible indices for isolated specific secure queries (e.g., range or k-nearest neighbor…
Content-delivery applications can achieve scalability and reduce wide-area network traffic using geographically distributed caches. However, each deployed cache has an associated cost, and under time-varying request rates (e.g., a daily…
Runtime models provide a snapshot of a system at runtime at a desired level of abstraction. Via a causal connection to the modeled system and by employing model-driven engineering techniques, runtime models support schemes for (runtime)…
This paper proposes a system, entitled Concealer that allows sharing time-varying spatial data (e.g., as produced by sensors) in encrypted form to an untrusted third-party service provider to provide location-based applications (involving…
Healthcare has become exceptionally sophisticated, as wearables and connected medical devices revolutionize remote patient monitoring, emergency response, medication management, diagnosis, and predictive and prescriptive analytics. Internet…
