In this paper, a new abnormal activity detection algorithm is proposed for multi-camera surveillance applications. The proposed algorithm models the entire scene covered by the mu...
Active applications can add value to communication. Yet it involves sophisticated domain knowledge and complex development process. In this paper we discuss a framework for the co...
We provide a survey on security features and threats to existing Instant Messaging (IM) networks and discuss how currently available systems fail to provide adequate security in l...
Pervasive computing applications typically involve cooperation among a number of entities spanning multiple organizations. Any security breach in any single entity can have very fa...
By functionally decomposing a specific algorithm (the hierarchical secure aggregation algorithm of Chan et al. [3] and Frikken et al. [7]), we uncover a useful general functionali...
