1. Percolation Thresholds on Tree-Based Communities of Wireless Sensor Networks

Qiao Li, Zhendong Niu, Baihai Zhang, Lingguo Cui, Bin Wu
Pages: 75 - 84
Many efficient deployments of large-scale wireless sensor networks based on the tree-based community rise into view recently. Sensor nodes are severely resource constrained, and lack sophisticated defense mechanisms to fight virus attacks. Cyber viruses spread through node populations over the networks,...

2. Archaeological Distribution Map System Using Aggregate Information from Heterogeneous Information Sources

Ayako Hayashi, Teruhisa Hochin, Hiroki Nomiya
Pages: 85 - 95
This paper proposes archaeological distribution map system sharing archaeological information. Many archaeologists want to analyze the distribution of relics and/or remains. Excavation information, however, cannot be opened until verification and research are completed. Archaeological information sources...

3. Accelerated Diffusion-Based Recommendation Algorithm on Tripartite Graphs with GPU Clusters

Jingpeng Wang, Jie Huang, Mi Li
Pages: 96 - 105
Exorbitant computation cost hinders the practical application of recommendation algorithm, especially in time-critical application scenario. Although experiments show that recommendation algorithm based on an integrated diffusion on user-item-tag tripartite graphs can significantly improve accuracy,...

4. An Extended Web Displaying System based on Multiple Tablet Devices

Shota Imai, Shun Shiramatsu, Tadachika Ozono, Toramatsu Shintani
Pages: 106 - 115
We propose an extended Web displaying system based on multiple tablet devices to help users to conduct collaborative works anywhere without a large display. Users can use multiple tablet devices as a pseudo mobile large display on demand by using our system. For example, users can make discussions by...

5. IntegrityMR: Exploring Result Integrity Assurance Solutions for Big Data Computing Applications

Yongzhi Wang, Jinpeng Wei, Mudhakar Srivatsa, Yucong Duan, Wencai Du
Pages: 116 - 126
Large-scale adoption of MapReduce applications on public clouds is hindered by the lack of trust on the participating virtual machines deployed on the public cloud. In this paper, we propose IntegrityMR, a multi-public clouds architecture-based solution, which performs the MapReduce-based result integrity...

6. Hierarchical Latent Semantic Mapping for Automated Topic Generation

Guorui Zhou, Guang Chen
Pages: 127 - 136
Much of information sits in an unprecedented amount of text data. Managing allocation of these large scale text data is an important problem for many areas. Topic modeling performs well in this problem. The traditional generative models (PLSA,LDA) are the state-of-the-art approaches in topic modeling...
