In order to minimize the negative effect of malicious rumors in large-scale OSNs (Online Social Networks), researchers have proposed numerous solutions, such as controlling important user nodes and controlling bridges of social communities. However, ...

Mobile devices have become an indispensable component of our daily life. New applications published by developers help users to do their daily activities easier and faster. As the market leader of mobile OS, Android provides numerous applications in ...

Twitter spam has long been a critical but difficult problem to be addressed. So far, researchers have developed a series of machine learning-based methods and blacklisting techniques to detect spamming activities on Twitter. According to our ...

Eukaryotic genomes contain high volumes of intronic and intergenic regions in which repetitive sequences are abundant. These repetitive sequences represent challenges in genomic assignment of short read sequences generated through next generation ...

In the credit risk evaluation process, credit classification is one of the most popular method to assess the according risk. In real world application, credit classification can distinguish the bad credit transactions from the good ones, which avoids ...

Adaptability is a significant property which enables software systems to continuously provide the required functionality and achieve optimal performance. The recognised importance of adaptability makes its evaluation an essential task. However, the ...

News articles, even in the same category, often interweave with multiple stories and topics. In fact, exploring semantic components of textual documents is challenging, and assigning a document to one single category may appear inadequate. This paper ...

With the dire need for more competent cyber security professionals, two parties endeavor to close this gap, industry certificates that focus on hands-on experience, and higher education institutions that favor assessing knowledge memorization. It is ...

Over the past two decades a number of public, real time visualization systems, referred to as Ambient Information Systems have been developed. These systems often have a focus on both aesthetics and information relevance while being intended to function ...

Maps are the center point of many ancient and current visualizations. Recently, increased usage of mobile devices has promoted application of map-based visualizations, specially for navigation and point of interest representation. The types of ...

Exercise video games show promise as a tool for increasing physical activity by providing intrinsic motivation to play the game. Immersion is an aspect of gaming which can lead to increased motivation and enjoyment. Due to the recent rise of consumer ...

This paper reports two studies of digital television users. The first study investigates the behaviour of non-impaired users to understand typical usage patterns and problem-solving, attempting three representative tasks using a digital television ...

Digital ink affords numerous opportunities to broaden the use of computer supported learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This review of the recent literature on digital ink tools demonstrates that they offer ...

Rust is a modern systems programming language developed by Mozilla Research and the Rust community. Rust supports modern constructs such as ownership, lifetimes, traits, and macros, whilst supporting systems programming idioms with low-cost abstractions ...

Languages that use call-by-value semantics, such as Whiley, can make program verification easier. But efficient implementation becomes harder, due to the overhead of copying and garbage collection. This paper describes how a mixture of static analysis ...

Modern virtual reality systems support scenery of both vast scale and intricate detail at levels beyond that which can be manually created by teams of human content creators. Scene geometry must instead be created through procedural geometry generation. ...

As with many sectors, strategists and decision makers in the agricultural sector have a requirement to predict key measures such as product and feed pricing in order to maintain their position and, in some cases, to survive in their industry. Predictive ...

We provide efficient quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulations for the Dominating Set and Edge Cover combinatorial problems suitable for adiabatic quantum computers, which are viewed as a real-world enhanced model of simulated ...

Encryption is the primary tool for protecting information security, but cyber-physical systems that interact directly with critical infrastructure, in applications such as power, water and transport, typically use no encryption for their control ...

Operating systems both old and new are reliant on the venerable hierarchical file system. For some time now, however, attempts have been made to either define new file systems or to bolt on applications that offer much improved functionality to attach ...

In this paper, we introduce an ad-hoc broadcasting service. The service facilitates real-time distribution and playback of audio content among multiple mobile devices. In designing the service, four distinct challenges have been addressed: i) the need ...

Software maintenance is an increasing concern for both the developers and users. Maintainability depends on the adaptability, flexibility, and changeability of software which in turn depends on the coupling between its different modules. High coupling ...

Dynamic binary search trees are a fundamental class of dictionary data structure. Amongst these, the splay tree is space efficient and has amortized running-time bounds. In practice, splay trees perform best when the access sequence has regions of ...

We re-examine the 2012 local government elections in New South Wales, Australia. The count was conducted electronically using a randomised form of the Single Transferable Vote (STV). It was already well known that randomness does make a difference to ...

Improving memory consumption of main memory-resident databases by evicting infrequently accessed data to secondary storage layers can significantly reduce the TCO. But traditional approaches for data eviction such as paged-based LRU algorithms are ...

Online polling is a popular tool to increase user involvement on all kinds of websites. Consumers are interested in sharing their opinion and so contribute to the website's content. Aggregated opinions, attitudes, and preferences convey a great deal of ...

This paper addresses an important planning operation which is the truck scheduling problem at a cross-docking terminal under full and partial information about the truck arrival times. The problem is subject to a resource-constrained crossdock; ...

Mobile apps can integrate sensors and actuators in Internet-of-Things systems to achieve novel and diverse functionalities. For instance, apps can implement self-management and monitoring functions to help patients manage a large number of health ...

We present work on behavioral types for software component systems. Components are annotated with automata-based descriptions of their behavior such as possible interactions observable at components' interfaces. The descriptions act as component types ...

Orthogonal differentiation is a suggested approach to game balance, but has never been formally tested. Using the game StarCraft II, a popular real time strategy game, we test whether game units are orthogonally differentiated. Units are considered ...
