    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.58, No.1, pp. 1-13, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.02171
    Abstract To fulfill the requirements of data security in environments with nonequivalent resources, a high capacity data hiding scheme in encrypted image based on compressive sensing (CS) is proposed by fully utilizing the adaptability of CS to nonequivalent resources. The original image is divided into two parts: one part is encrypted with traditional stream cipher; the other part is turned to the prediction error and then encrypted based on CS to vacate room simultaneously. The collected non-image data is firstly encrypted with simple stream cipher. For data security management, the encrypted non-image data is then embedded into the encrypted image, and… More >

    Gongshen Liu1, Kui Meng1,*, Jiachen Ding1, Jan P. Nees1, Hongyi Guo1, Xuewen Zhang1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.58, No.1, pp. 101-120, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.03898
    Abstract Collaborative filtering is the most popular approach when building recommender systems, but the large scale and sparse data of the user-item matrix seriously affect the recommendation results. Recent research shows the user’s social relations information can improve the quality of recommendation. However, most of the current social recommendation algorithms only consider the user's direct social relations, while ignoring potential users’ interest preference and group clustering information. Moreover, project attribute is also important in item rating. We propose a recommendation algorithm which using matrix factorization technology to fuse user information and project information together. We first detect the community structure using… More >

    GFCache: A Greedy Failure Cache Considering Failure Recency and Failure Frequency for an Erasure-Coded Storage System

    Mingzhu Deng1, Fang Liu2,*, Ming Zhao3, Zhiguang Chen2, Nong Xiao2,1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.58, No.1, pp. 153-167, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.03585
    Abstract In the big data era, data unavailability, either temporary or permanent, becomes a normal occurrence on a daily basis. Unlike the permanent data failure, which is fixed through a background job, temporarily unavailable data is recovered on-the-fly to serve the ongoing read request. However, those newly revived data is discarded after serving the request, due to the assumption that data experiencing temporary failures could come back alive later. Such disposal of failure data prevents the sharing of failure information among clients, and leads to many unnecessary data recovery processes, (e.g. caused by either recurring unavailability of a data or multiple… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.58, No.1, pp. 197-213, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.03903
    Abstract Sina Weibo, an online social network site, has gained popularity but lost it in recent years. Now we are still curious on the number of posts in Sina Weibo in its golden age. Besides checking this number in Sina’s operating results, we aim to estimate and verify this number through measurement by using statistical techniques. Existing approaches on measurement always rely on the supported streaming application programming interface (API) which provides proportional sampling. However no such API is available for Sina Weibo. Instead, Sina provides a public timeline API which provides non-proportional sampling but always returns a (nearly) fixed number… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.58, No.1, pp. 287-306, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.03736
    Abstract Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) tightly integrate cyber and physical components and transcend traditional control systems and embedded system. Such systems are often mission-critical; therefore, they must be high-assurance. High-assurance CPS require co-verification which takes a comprehensive view of the whole system to verify the correctness of a cyber and physical components together. Lack of strict multiple semantic definition for interaction between the two domains has been considered as an obstacle to the CPS co-verification. A Cyber/Physical interface model for hierarchical a verification of CPS is proposed. First, we studied the interaction mechanism between computation and physical processes. We further classify the… More >
