Abstract Although predecessors have made great contributions to the semantic segmentation of 3D indoor scenes, there still exist some challenges in the debris recognition of terrain data. Compared with hundreds of thousands of indoor point clouds, the amount of terrain point cloud is up to millions. Apart from that, terrain point cloud data obtained from remote sensing is measured in meters, but the indoor scene is measured in centimeters. In this case, the terrain debris obtained from remote sensing mapping only have dozens of points, which means that sufficient training information cannot be obtained only through the convolution of points. In… More >

Abstract The innovation in technologies related to health facilities today is increasingly helping to manage patients with different diseases. The most fatal of these is the issue of heart disease that cannot be detected from a naked eye, and attacks as soon as the human exceeds the allowed range of vital signs like pulse rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. The real challenge is to diagnose patients with more diagnostic accuracy and in a timely manner, followed by prescribing appropriate treatments and keeping prescription errors to a minimum. In developing countries, the domain of healthcare is progressing day by day using… More >

Abstract Existing model registration of individual bones does not have a high certainly of success due to the lack of anatomic semantic. In light of the surface anatomy and functional structure of bones, we hypothesized individual femur models would be aligned through feature points both in geometrical level and in anatomic level, and proposed a hierarchical approach for the rigid registration (HRR) of point cloud models of femur with high resolution. Firstly, a coarse registration between two simplified point cloud models was implemented based on the extraction of geometric feature points (GFPs); and then, according to the anatomic feature points (AFPs)… More >

Abstract Manufacturing service composition of the supply side and scheduling of the demand side are two important components of Cloud Manufacturing, which directly affect the quality of Cloud Manufacturing services. However, the previous studies on the two components are carried out independently and thus ignoring the internal relations and mutual constraints. Considering the two components on both sides of the supply and the demand of Cloud Manufacturing services at the same time, a Bilateral Collaborative Optimization Model of Cloud Manufacturing (BCOM-CMfg) is constructed in this paper. In BCOM-CMfg, to solve the manufacturing service scheduling problem on the supply side, a new… More >

Abstract Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been widely used to solve various optimization problems. As the solving process of GA requires large storage and computing resources, it is well motivated to outsource the solving process of GA to the cloud server. However, the algorithm user would never want his data to be disclosed to cloud server. Thus, it is necessary for the user to encrypt the data before transmitting them to the server. But the user will encounter a new problem. The arithmetic operations we are familiar with cannot work directly in the ciphertext domain. In this paper, a privacy-preserving outsourced genetic… More >

Abstract Searchable encryption technology makes it convenient to search encrypted data with keywords for people. A data owner shared his data with other users on the cloud server. For security, it is necessary for him to build a fine-grained and flexible access control mechanism. The main idea of this paper is to let the owner classify his data and then authorizes others according to categories. The cloud server maintains a permission matrix, which will be used to verify whether a trapdoor is valid or not. In this way we can achieve access control and narrow the search range at the same… More >

Abstract Most cloud services are built with multi-tenancy which enables data and configuration segregation upon shared infrastructures. It offers tremendous advantages for enterprises and service providers. It is anticipated that this situation will evolve to foster cross-tenant collaboration supported by Authorization as a service. To realize access control in a multi-tenant cloud computing environment, this study proposes a multi-tenant cloud computing access control model based on the traditional usage access control model by building trust relations among tenants. The model consists of three submodels, which achieve trust relationships between tenants with different granularities and satisfy the requirements of different application scenarios.… More >

Abstract Cloud computing infrastructure has been evolving as a cost-effective platform for providing computational resources in the form of high-performance computing as a service (HPCaaS) to users for executing HPC applications. However, the broader use of the Cloud services, the rapid increase in the size, and the capacity of Cloud data centers bring a remarkable rise in energy consumption leading to a significant rise in the system provider expenses and carbon emissions in the environment. Besides this, users have become more demanding in terms of Quality-of-service (QoS) expectations in terms of execution time, budget cost, utilization, and makespan. This situation calls… More >

Abstract Most existing blockchain schemes are based on the design concept “openness and transparency” to realize data security, which usually require transaction data to be presented in the form of plaintext. However, it inevitably brings the issues with respect to data privacy and operating performance. In this paper, we proposed a novel blockchain scheme called Cipherchain, which can process and maintain transaction data in the form of ciphertext while the characteristics of immutability and auditability are guaranteed. Specifically in our scheme, transactions can be encrypted locally based on a searchable encryption scheme called multi-user public key encryption with conjunctive keyword search… More >

Abstract Nowadays cloud architecture is widely applied on the internet. New malware aiming at the privacy data stealing or crypto currency mining is threatening the security of cloud platforms. In view of the problems with existing application behavior monitoring methods such as coarse-grained analysis, high performance overhead and lack of applicability, this paper proposes a new fine-grained binary program monitoring and analysis method based on multiple system level components, which is used to detect the possible privacy leakage of applications installed on cloud platforms. It can be used online in cloud platform environments for fine-grained automated analysis of target programs, ensuring… More >
