An evidence-based account of trust is essential for an appropriate treatment application-level interactions among autonomous and adaptive parties. Key examples include social networks service-oriented computing. Existing approaches either ignore evidence or only partially address the twin challenges mapping to trustworthiness combining reports from imperfectly trusted sources. This article develops a mathematically well-formulated approach that naturally supports discounting reports....

In open settings, the participants are autonomous and there is no central authority to ensure felicity of their interactions. When agents interact in such each relies upon being able model trustworthiness with whom it interacts. Fundamentally, models must consider past behavior other parties order predict future behavior. Further, sensible for share information via referrals trustworthy agents. Much progress has recently been made on probabilistic trust including those that support...

Traditional routing algorithms have several limitations that become increasingly significant in the context of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Firstly, these often limited support for Quality Service (QoS) requirements, making them less suitable handling diverse traffic types efficiently. Moreover, current SDN controllers leverage a default shortest-path approach, which does not allow more dynamic and flexible management based on real-time network policies. To address issues, this paper...

An embedded wavelet-based coder for the compression of hyperspectral imagery is described. The proposed coder, three-dimensional (3-D) tarp, employs an explicit estimate probability coefficient significance to drive a nonadaptive arithmetic resulting in simple implementation suited vectorized acceleration single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) hardware. 3-D tarp compared other prominent coders imagery, and state-of-the-art rate-distortion performance observed.

Identifying and ranking influential nodes in complex networks is a critical aspect to study the survival robustness of networks. Many ongoing researches have proposed centrality metrics address this problem, so that performance each attributed specific scenarios. For example, based on local structure low accuracy due use limited information, global suffer from high complexity. Meanwhile, semi-local are amazingly well, but an efficient for identifying still not available differences scale In...

Multihypothesis motion compensation is extended into the transform domain by using a redundant wavelet to produce multiple predictions that are diverse in phase. The corresponding inverse implicitly combines multihypothesis single spatial-domain prediction for such no side information needed describe combination weights. Additionally, we use hierarchical search tailor motion-vector field individual phases. Substantial gains rate-distortion performance obtained comparison an equivalent system...

A video coder is presented that combines mesh-based motion-compensated temporal filtering, phase-diversity multihypothesis motion compensation, and an embedded 3D wavelet-coefficient coder. The key contribution of this work the introduction paradigm into which achieved by deploying filtering in domain a spatially redundant wavelet transform. regular triangle mesh used to track between frames, affine transform triangles implements compensation within lifting-based Experimental results reveal...

Nonlinear analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals provides a means for studying the dynamical changes in cortical networks related to brain electrical activity. In this study, correlation dimension (D2) and point (PD2) were used investigate quantitative complexity EEG during cognitive processes. EEGs recorded 30 normal subjects under seven conditions: two resting states five mental activities. Results show that D2 PD2 are significantly correlated. Compared D2, is more sensitive data...

In many exciting multiagent applications - including future battlefields, law enforcement, and commerce agents must communicate in inherently or potentially hostile environments which an adversaries disrupt intercept the communication between for malicious purposes, but wireless ad hoc networks often proposed these are particularly susceptible to attack. Intelligent balance network performance with possible harm suffered from adversary's attack, while accounting broadcast nature of their...

Instruction-set simulator is very important method and technique in reverse engineering analysis, compiling optimization code coverage testing. It provides the test platform for analyzing software accurate data program comprehension. An instruction-set designed this article, it can simulate various processor's object program. This paper also a to construct virtual instruction set, especially describes design memory simulating system simulator.
