: A distributed service to model and control contextual information in mobile and ubiquitous computing environments is presented in this paper. We introduce the general user model ...
Assuming a cryptographically strong cyclic group G of prime order q and a random hash function H, we show that ElGamal encryption with an added Schnorr signature is secure against ...
In this study, an effective foreground/background segmentation approach for bootstrapping video sequences is proposed. First, a modified block representation approach is used to c...
This article describes an application of the partially observable Markov (POM) model to the analysis of a large scale commercial web search log. Mathematically, POM is a variant o...
Multidimensional discrete data (MDD), i.e., arrays of arbitrary size, dimension, and base type, are receiving growing attention among the database community. MDD occur in a variet...
