Direction-Based Surrounder Queries For Mobile Recommendations, Xi Guo, Baihua Zheng, Yoshiharu Ishikawa, Yunjun Gao Oct 2011

Direction-Based Surrounder Queries For Mobile Recommendations, Xi Guo, Baihua Zheng, Yoshiharu Ishikawa, Yunjun Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Location-based recommendation services recommend objects to the user based on the user’s preferences. In general, the nearest objects are good choices considering their spatial proximity to the user. However, not only the distance of an object to the user but also their directional relationship are important. Motivated by these, we propose a new spatial query, namely a direction-based surrounder (DBS) query, which retrieves the nearest objects around the user from different directions. We define the DBS query not only in a two-dimensional Euclidean space E">EE but also in a road network R">RR . In the Euclidean space E" …

General Construction Of Chameleon All-But-One Trapdoor Functions, Shengli Liu, Junzuo Lai, Robert H. Deng Oct 2011

General Construction Of Chameleon All-But-One Trapdoor Functions, Shengli Liu, Junzuo Lai, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Lossy trapdoor functions enable black-box construction of public key encryption (PKE) schemes secure against chosen-ciphertext attack [18]. Recently, a more efficient black-box construction of public key encryption was given in [12] with the help of chameleon all-but-one trapdoor functions (ABO-TDFs).In this paper, we propose a black-box construction for transforming any ABO-TDFs into chameleon ABO-TDFs with the help of chameleon hash functions. Instantiating the proposed general black-box construction of chameleon ABO-TDFs, we can obtain the first chameleon ABO-TDFs based on the Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption.

Using Social Annotations For Trend Discovery In Scientific Publications, Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Jing Jiang Oct 2011

Using Social Annotations For Trend Discovery In Scientific Publications, Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social tags and citing documents are two forms of social annotations to scientific publications. These social annotations provide useful contextual and temporal information for the annotated work, which encapsulates the attention and interest of the annotators. In this work, we explore the use of social annotations for discovering trends in scientific publications. We propose a trend discovery process that employs trend estimation and trend selection and ranking for analyzing the emerging trends shown in the social annotation profiles. The proposed sigmoid trend estimator allows us to characterize and compare how much, when and how fast the trends emerge. To perform …

Prts: An Approach For Model Checking Probabilistic Real-Time Hierarchical Systems, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Songzheng Song, Jin Song Dong, Xiaohong Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Model Checking real-life systems is always difficult since such systems usually have quantitative timing factors and work in unreliable environment. The combination of real-time and probability in hierarchical systems presents a unique challenge to system modeling and analysis. In this work, we develop an automated approach for verifying probabilistic, real-time, hierarchical systems. Firstly, a modeling language called PRTS is defined, which combines data structures, real-time and probability. Next, a zone-based method is used to build a finite-state abstraction of PRTS models so that probabilistic model checking could be used to calculate the probability of a system satisfying certain property. We …

Active Multiple Kernel Learning For Interactive 3d Object Retrieval Systems, Steven C. H. Hoi, Rong Jin

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

An effective relevance feedback solution plays a key role in interactive intelligent 3D object retrieval systems. In this work, we investigate the relevance feedback problem for interactive intelligent 3D object retrieval, with the focus on studying effective machine learning algorithms for improving the user's interaction in the retrieval task. One of the key challenges is to learn appropriate kernel similarity measure between 3D objects through the relevance feedback interaction with users. We address this challenge by presenting a novel framework of Active multiple kernel learning (AMKL), which exploits multiple kernel learning techniques for relevance feedback in interactive 3D object retrieval. …

Collaborative Online Learning Of User Generated Content, Guangxia Li, Kuiyu Chang, Steven C. H. Hoi, Wenting Liu, Ramesh Jain Oct 2011

Collaborative Online Learning Of User Generated Content, Guangxia Li, Kuiyu Chang, Steven C. H. Hoi, Wenting Liu, Ramesh Jain

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We study the problem of online classification of user generated content, with the goal of efficiently learning to categorize content generated by individual user. This problem is challenging due to several reasons. First, the huge amount of user generated content demands a highly efficient and scalable classification solution. Second, the categories are typically highly imbalanced, i.e., the number of samples from a particular useful class could be far and few between compared to some others (majority class). In some applications like spam detection, identification of the minority class often has significantly greater value than that of the majority class. Last …

Mining Direct Antagonistic Communities In Explicit Trust Networks, David Lo, Didi Surian, Zhang Kuan, Ee Peng Lim Oct 2011

Mining Direct Antagonistic Communities In Explicit Trust Networks, David Lo, Didi Surian, Zhang Kuan, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

There has been a recent increase of interest in analyzing trust and friendship networks to gain insights about relationship dynamics among users. Many sites such as Epinions, Facebook, and other social networking sites allow users to declare trusts or friendships between different members of the community. In this work, we are interested in extracting direct antagonistic communities (DACs) within a rich trust network involving trusts and distrusts. Each DAC is formed by two subcommunities with trust relationships among members of each sub-community but distrust relationships across the sub-communities. We develop an efficient algorithm that could analyze large trust networks leveraging …

A Survey Of Techniques And Challenges In Underwater Localization, Hwee-Pink Tan, Roee Diamant, Winston K. G. Seah, Marc Waldmeyer Oct 2011

A Survey Of Techniques And Challenges In Underwater Localization, Hwee-Pink Tan, Roee Diamant, Winston K. G. Seah, Marc Waldmeyer

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are expected to support a variety of civilian and military applications. Sensed data can only be interpreted meaningfully when referenced to the location of the sensor, making localization an important problem. While global positioning system (GPS) receivers are commonly used in terrestrial WSNs to achieve this, this is infeasible in UWSNs as GPS signals do not propagate through water. Acoustic communications is the most promising mode of communication underwater. However, underwater acoustic channels are characterized by harsh physical layer conditions with low bandwidth, high propagation delay and high bit error rate. Moreover, the variable speed …

There has been tremendous interest in diffusion of innovations or information in a social system. Nowadays, social networks (offline as well as online) are considered as important medium for diffusion and large amount of research has been conducted to understand the dynamics of diffusion in social networks. In this work, we review some of the models proposed for diffusion in social networks. We also highlight the major features of these models by dividing the surveyed models into two categories: non-network and network diffusion models. The former refers to user communities without any knowledge about the user relationship network and the …

Towards A Model Checker For Nesc And Wireless Sensor Networks, Manchun Zheng, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Jin Song Dong, Yu Gu Oct 2011

Towards A Model Checker For Nesc And Wireless Sensor Networks, Manchun Zheng, Jun Sun, Yang Liu, Jin Song Dong, Yu Gu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are expected to run unattendedly for critical tasks. To guarantee the correctness of WSNs is important, but highly nontrivial due to the distributed nature. In this work, we present an automatic approach to directly verify WSNs built with TinyOS applications implemented in the NesC language. To achieve this target, we firstly define a set of formal operational semantics for most of the NesC language structures for the first time. This allows us to capture the behaviors of sensors by labelled transition systems (LTSs), which are the underlying semantic models of NesC programs. Secondly, WSNs are modeled …

Concern Localization Using Information Retrieval: An Empirical Study On Linux Kernel, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Zhenchang Xing, Lingxiao Jiang Oct 2011

Concern Localization Using Information Retrieval: An Empirical Study On Linux Kernel, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Zhenchang Xing, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Many software maintenance activities need to find code units (functions, files, etc.) that implement a certain concern (features, bugs, etc.). To facilitate such activities, many approaches have been proposed to automatically link code units with concerns described in natural languages, which are termed as concern localization and often employ Information Retrieval (IR) techniques. There has not been a study that evaluates and compares the effectiveness of latest IR techniques on a large dataset. This study fills this gap by investigating ten IR techniques, some of which are new and have not been used for concern localization, on a Linux kernel …

Efficient Evaluation Of Continuous Text Seach Queries, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Hwee Hwa Pang Oct 2011

Efficient Evaluation Of Continuous Text Seach Queries, Kyriakos Mouratidis, Hwee Hwa Pang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Consider a text filtering server that monitors a stream of incoming documents for a set of users, who register their interests in the form of continuous text search queries. The task of the server is to constantly maintain for each query a ranked result list, comprising the recent documents (drawn from a sliding window) with the highest similarity to the query. Such a system underlies many text monitoring applications that need to cope with heavy document traffic, such as news and email monitoring.In this paper, we propose the first solution for processing continuous text queries efficiently. Our objective is to …

Allocating Resources In Multiagent Flowshops With Adaptive Auctions, Hoong Chuin Lau, Zhengyi Zhao, Sam Shuzhi Ge, Thong Heng Lee Oct 2011

Allocating Resources In Multiagent Flowshops With Adaptive Auctions, Hoong Chuin Lau, Zhengyi Zhao, Sam Shuzhi Ge, Thong Heng Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating machine resources among multiple agents, each of which is responsible to solve a flowshop scheduling problem. We present an iterated combinatorial auction mechanism in which bid generation is performed within each agent, while a price adjustment procedure is performed by a centralized auctioneer. While this approach is fairly well-studied in the literature, our primary innovation is in an adaptive price adjustment procedure, utilizing variable step-size inspired by adaptive PID-control theory coupled with utility pricing inspired by classical microeconomics. We compare with the conventional price adjustment scheme proposed in Fisher (1985), and …

Code Search Via Topic-Enriched Dependence Graph Matching, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Lingxiao Jiang Oct 2011

Code Search Via Topic-Enriched Dependence Graph Matching, Shaowei Wang, David Lo, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Source code contains textual, structural, and semantic information, which can all be leveraged for effective search. Some studies have proposed semantic code search where users can specify query topics in a natural language. Other studies can search through system dependence graphs. In this paper, we propose a semantic dependence search engine that integrates both kinds of techniques and can retrieve code snippets based on expressive user queries describing both topics and dependencies. Users can specify their search targets in a free form format describing desired topics (i.e., high-level semantic or functionality of the target code); a specialized graph query language …

Adaptive Collision Resolution For Efficient Rfid Tag Identification, Yung-Chun Chen, Kuo-Hui Yeh, Nai-Wei Lo, Yingjiu Li, Enrico Winata Oct 2011

Adaptive Collision Resolution For Efficient Rfid Tag Identification, Yung-Chun Chen, Kuo-Hui Yeh, Nai-Wei Lo, Yingjiu Li, Enrico Winata

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In large-scale RFID systems, all of the communications between readers and tags are via a shared wireless channel. When a reader intends to collect all IDs from numerous existing tags, a tag identification process is invoked by the reader to collect the tags' IDs. This phenomenon results in tag-to-reader signal collisions which may suppress the system performance greatly. To solve this problem, we design an efficient tag identification protocol in which a significant gain is obtained in terms of both identification delay and communication overhead. A k-ary tree-based abstract is adopted in our proposed tag identification protocol as underlying architecture …

Packed, Printable, And Polymorphic Return-Oriented Programming, Kangjie Lu, Dabi Zou, Weiping Wen, Debin Gao Sep 2011

Packed, Printable, And Polymorphic Return-Oriented Programming, Kangjie Lu, Dabi Zou, Weiping Wen, Debin Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Return-oriented programming (ROP) is an attack that has been shown to be able to circumvent W ⊕ X protection. However, it was not clear if ROP can be made as powerful as non-ROP malicious code in other aspects, e.g., be packed to make static analysis difficult, be printable to evade non-ASCII filtering, be polymorphic to evade signature-based detection, etc. Research in these potential advances in ROP is important in designing counter-measures. In this paper, we show that ROP code could be packed, printable, and polymorphic. We demonstrate this by proposing a packer that produces printable and polymorphic ROP code. It …

Linear Obfuscation To Combat Symbolic Execution, Zhi Wang, Jiang Ming, Chunfu Jia, Debin Gao Sep 2011

Linear Obfuscation To Combat Symbolic Execution, Zhi Wang, Jiang Ming, Chunfu Jia, Debin Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Trigger-based code (malicious in many cases, but not necessarily) only executes when specific inputs are received. Symbolic execution has been one of the most powerful techniques in discovering such malicious code and analyzing the trigger condition. We propose a novel automatic malware obfuscation technique to make analysis based on symbolic execution difficult. Unlike previously proposed techniques, the obfuscated code from our tool does not use any cryptographic operations and makes use of only linear operations which symbolic execution is believed to be good in analyzing. The obfuscated code incorporates unsolved conjectures and adds a simple loop to the original code, …

Privacy Beyond Single Sensitive Attribute, Yuan Fang, Mafruz Zaman Ashrafi, See Kiong Ng Sep 2011

Privacy Beyond Single Sensitive Attribute, Yuan Fang, Mafruz Zaman Ashrafi, See Kiong Ng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Publishing individual specific microdata has serious privacy implications. The k-anonymity model has been proposed to prevent identity disclosure from microdata, and the work on ℓ-diversity and t-closeness attempt to address attribute disclosure. However, most current work only deal with publishing microdata with a single sensitive attribute (SA), whereas real life scenarios often involve microdata with multiple SAs that may be multi-valued. This paper explores the issue of attribute disclosure in such scenarios. We propose a method called CODIP (Complete Disjoint Projections) that outlines a general solution to deal with the shortcomings in a naïve approach. We also introduce two measures, …

Driverguard: A Fine-Grained Protection On I/O Flow, Yueqiang Cheng, Xuhua Ding, Robert H. Deng Sep 2011

Driverguard: A Fine-Grained Protection On I/O Flow, Yueqiang Cheng, Xuhua Ding, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Most commodity peripheral devices and their drivers are geared to achieve high performance with security functions being opted out. The absence of security measures invites attacks on the I/O data and consequently threats those applications feeding on them, such as biometric authentication. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of DriverGuard, a hypervisor based protection mechanism which dynamically shields I/O flows such that I/O data are not exposed to the malicious kernel. Our design leverages a composite of cryptographic and virtualization techniques to achieve fine-grained protection. DriverGuard is lightweight as it only needs to protect around 2% of …

Structural Complexity And Programmer Team Strategy: An Experimental Test, Narayan Ramasubbu, Chris F. Kemerer, Jeff Min Teck Hong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This study develops and empirically tests the idea that the impact of structural complexity on perfective maintenance of object-oriented software is significantly determined by the team strategy of programmers (independent or collaborative). We analyzed two key dimensions of software structure, coupling and cohesion, with respect to the maintenance effort and the perceived ease-of-maintenance by pairs of programmers. Hypotheses based on the distributed cognition and task interdependence theoretical frameworks were tested using data collected from a controlled lab experiment employing professional programmers. The results show a significant interaction effect between coupling, cohesion, and programmer team strategy on both maintenance effort and …

Certificateless Cryptography With Kgc Trust Level 3, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan Sep 2011

Certificateless Cryptography With Kgc Trust Level 3, Guomin Yang, Chik How Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A normal certificateless cryptosystem can only achieve KGC trust level 2 according to the trust hierarchy defined by Girault. Although in the seminal paper introducing certificateless cryptography, Al-Riyami and Paterson introduced a binding technique to lift the KGC trust level of their certificateless schemes to level 3, many subsequent work on certificateless cryptography just focused on the constructions of normal certificateless schemes, and a formal study on the general applicability of the binding technique to these existing schemes is still missing. In this paper, to address the KGC trust level issue, we introduce the notion of Key Dependent Certificateless Cryptography …

Structural Analysis Of The Hot Spots In The Binding Between H1n1 Ha And The 2di Antibody: Do Mutations Of H1n1 From 1918 To 2009 Affect Much On This Binding?, Qian Liu, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chinh T. T. Su, Zhenhua Li, Chee-Keong Kwoh, Limsoon Wong, Jinyan Li Sep 2011

Structural Analysis Of The Hot Spots In The Binding Between H1n1 Ha And The 2di Antibody: Do Mutations Of H1n1 From 1918 To 2009 Affect Much On This Binding?, Qian Liu, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chinh T. T. Su, Zhenhua Li, Chee-Keong Kwoh, Limsoon Wong, Jinyan Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Worldwide and substantial mortality caused by the 2009 H1N1 influenza A has stimulated a new surge of research on H1N1 viruses. An epitope conservation has been learned in the HA1 protein that allows antibodies to cross-neutralize both 1918 and 2009 H1N1. However, few works have thoroughly studied the binding hot spots in those two antigen–antibody interfaces which are responsible for the antibody cross-neutralization. We apply predictive methods to identify binding hot spots at the epitope sites of the HA1 proteins and at the paratope sites of the 2D1 antibody. We find that the six mutations at the HA1's epitope from …

An Efficient Adaptive Vortex Particle Method For Real-Time Smoke Simulation, Shengfeng He, Hon-Cheng Wong, Un-Hong Wong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Smoke simulation is one of the interesting topics in computer animation and it usually involves turbulence generation. Efficient generation of realistic turbulent flows becomes one of the challenges in smoke simulation. Vortex particle method, which is a hybrid method that combines grid-based and particle-based approaches, is often used for generating turbulent details. However, it may cause irrational artifacts due to its initial condition and vorticity forcing approach used. In this paper, a new vorticity forcing approach based on the spatial adaptive vorticity confinement is proposed to address this problem. In this approach, the spatial adaptive vorticity confinement force varies with …

Mining Top-K Large Structural Patterns In A Massive Network, Feida Zhu, Qiang Qu, David Lo, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip S. Yu Sep 2011

Mining Top-K Large Structural Patterns In A Massive Network, Feida Zhu, Qiang Qu, David Lo, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip S. Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With ever-growing popularity of social networks, web and bio-networks, mining large frequent patterns from a single huge network has become increasingly important. Yet the existing pattern mining methods cannot offer the efficiency desirable for large pattern discovery. We propose Spider- Mine, a novel algorithm to efficiently mine top-K largest frequent patterns from a single massive network with any user-specified probability of 1 − ϵ. Deviating from the existing edge-by-edge (i.e., incremental) pattern-growth framework, SpiderMine achieves its efficiency by unleashing the power of small patterns of a bounded diameter, which we call “spiders”. With the spider structure, our approach adopts a …

Towards Ground Truthing Observations In Gray-Box Anomaly Detection, Jiang Ming, Haibin Zhang, Debin Gao Sep 2011

Towards Ground Truthing Observations In Gray-Box Anomaly Detection, Jiang Ming, Haibin Zhang, Debin Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Anomaly detection has been attracting interests from researchers due to its advantage of being able to detect zero-day exploits. A gray-box anomaly detector first observes benign executions of a computer program and then extracts reliable rules that govern the normal execution of the program. However, such observations from benign executions are not necessarily true evidences supporting the rules learned. For example, the observation that a file descriptor being equal to a socket descriptor should not be considered supporting a rule governing the two values to be the same. Ground truthing such observations is a difficult problem since it is not …
