An adaptive anti-jamming system in HyperLedger-based wireless sensor networks

In: Wireless Networks

  • 20.01.2022 (2022)

DOI: 10.1007/s11276-022-02886-1

Abstract anzeigen

Using new methodologies such as Blockchain in data communications in wireless sensor networks (WSN) has emerged owing to the proliferation of collaborative technologies. However, the WSN is still vulnerable to denial of service cyber attacks, in which jamming attack becomes prevalent in blocking data communications in WSN. The jamming attack launches malicious sensor nodes to block legitimate data communications by intentional interference. This can in turn cause monitoring disruptions, data loss and other safety-critical issues. In order to address the malicious attacks, this paper proposes an adaptive anti-jamming solution based on Hyperledger Fabric-based Blockchain, named as ABAS, to ensure the reliability and adaptivity of data communication in case of jamming attacks. In order to validate the ABAS solution, we applied the algorithm in healthcare WSN and showed that ABAS has significantly reduce the jamming coverage and energy consumption while maintaining high computational performance.

Trust-Based Authentication for Smart Home Systems

In: Wireless Personal Communications vol. 117 pg. 2157-2172.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.1007/s11277-020-07965-0

Abstract anzeigen

Smart home systems are developed to interconnect and automate household appliances and create ubiquitous home services. Such a system is mainly driven by the communications among Internet-of-Things (IoT) objects along with Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technologies, where the RFID techniques in the IoT network are commonly prone to malicious attacks due to the inherent weaknesses of underlying wireless radio communications. Thus, it causes the smart home systems vulnerable to some active attacks such as the jamming and cloning attacks, which in turn threaten to home breach and personal information disclosure. This paper therefore proposes a new trust-based authentication scheme to effectively address two typical attacks, jamming and cloning attacks, in smart home environment. The evaluation shows that our solution can significantly reduce the authentication failure in jamming attacks, increase the detection probability of cloning attacks, and improve the authentication efficiency to manage the authentication delay in a reasonable time.

Modeling Inconsistent Data for Reasoners in Web of Things

In: Procedia Computer Science pg. 1265-1273.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.1016/j.procs.2021.08.130

Abstract anzeigen

With the recent developments of the Internet of Things and its integration in the web environment, the Web of Things and the real-time data submissions to Reasoners are enabled. However, the data that are fed to the Reasoners are often inconsistent. This can be possibly caused by the malfunction of certain Internet of Things device or by human errors. The data consistency issue is becoming more complex in the Web of Things network. This paper, therefore, proposes a new data processing model to tackle the inconsistent data, so that the processed data can be further used in Reasoners. The data processing model introduces an oversimplification of the Shramko-Wansing sixteen-valued trilattice, which is an extension of Belnap’s four-valued bilattice to assign the data classical truth-values. A preliminary implementation is demonstrated to validate the proposed model. The result shows that our model can avoid system collapse when contradictory outputs exist.

A hybrid machine learning model for intrusion detection in VANET

In: Computing pg. 1-29.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.1007/s00607-021-01001-0

Abstract anzeigen

While Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is developed to enable effective vehicle communication and traffic information exchange, VANET is also vulnerable to different security attacks, such as DOS attacks. The usage of an intrusion detection system (IDS) is one possible solution for preventing attacks in VANET. However, dealing with a large amount of vehicular data that keep growing in the urban environment is still an critical challenge for IDSs. This paper, therefore, proposes a new machine learning model to improve the performance of IDSs by using Random Forest and a posterior detection based on coresets to improve the detection accuracy and increase detection efficiency. The experimental results show that the proposed machine learning model can significantly enhance the detection accuracy compared to classical application of machine learning models.

A Hybrid Data-driven Model for Intrusion Detection in VANET

In: Procedia Computer Science vol. 184 pg. 516-523.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.1016/j.procs.2021.03.065

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork) has gained increasing attention from many researchers with its various applications, such as enhancing traffic safety by collecting and disseminating traffic event information. This increased interest in VANET has necessitated greater scrutiny of machine learning (ML) methods used for improving the security capabilities of intrusion detection systems (IDSs), such as the need to solve computationally intensive ML problems due to the increased vehicular data. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a hybrid ML model to enhance the performance of IDSs by dealing with the explosive growth in computing power and the need for detecting malicious incidents timely. The proposed approach mainly uses the advantages of Random Forest to detect known network intrusions. Besides, there is a post-detection phase to detect possible novel intruders by using the advantages of coresets and clustering algorithms. Our approach is evaluated over a very recent IDS dataset named CICIDS2017. The preliminary results show that the proposed hybrid model can increase the utility of IDSs.

Proactive trust classification for detection of replication attacks in 6LoWPAN-based IoT

In: Internet of Things vol. 16 pg. 100442.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.1016/j.iot.2021.100442

Abstract anzeigen

The 6LoWPAN standard has been widely applied in different Internet of Things (IoT) application domains. However, since the nodes in the IoT are mostly resource constrained, 6LoWPAN is vulnerable to a variety of security attacks. Among others, replication attack is one of the severe security threads to IoT networks. This paper therefore proposes a trust-based detection strategy against replication attacks in IoT, where a number of replica nodes are intentionally inserted into the network to test the reliability and response of witness nodes. We further assess the feasibility of the proposed detection strategy and compare with two other strategies such as brute-force and first visited strategy via a thorough simulation. The evaluation takes into account the detection probability for compromised attacks, the execution time of transactions and rate of communication failure. The simulation results show that while maintaining detection runtime on average 60 s for up to 1000 nodes, the proposed trust-based strategy can significantly increase the detection probability to 90% on average against replication attacks and in turn significantly reduce the communication failure.

Recommendation Recovery with Adaptive Filter for Recommender Systems

pg. 283-290.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.5220/0010653600003058

Abstract anzeigen

Most recommender systems are focused on suggesting the optimal recommendations rather than finding a way to recover from a failed recommendation. Thus, when a failed recommendation appears several times, users may abandon to use a recommender system by considering that the system does not take her preference into account. One of the reasons is that when a user does not like a recommendation, this preference cannot be instantly captured by the recommender learning model, since the learning model cannot be constantly updated. Although this can be to some extent alleviated by critique-based algorithms, fine tuning the preference is not capable of fully expelling not-preferred items. This paper is therefore to propose a recommender recovery solution with an adaptive filter to deal with the failed recommendations while keeping the user engagement and, in turn, allow the recommender system to become a long-term application. It can also avoid the cost of constantly updating the recommender learning model.

Towards faster big data analytics for anti‐jamming applications in vehicular ad‐hoc network

In: Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies vol. 32 pg. 1-22.

  • 15 April 2021 (2021)

DOI: 10.1002/ett.4280

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, Wireless Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) has become a valuable asset for transportation systems. However, this advanced technology is characterized by highly distributed and networked environment, which makes VANET communications vulnerable to malicious jamming attacks. Although Big Data Analytics has been used to solve this critical security issue by supporting the development of anti-jamming applications, as the amount of vehicular data is growing exponentially, the anti-jamming applications face many challenges (i., reactions in real-time) due to the lack of specific solutions that can keep up with the fast advancement of VANET. In this paper, we propose a new vehicular data prioritization model based on coresets to accelerate the Big Data Analytics in VANET. Our experimental evaluation shows that our solution can significantly increase the efficiency for clustering in jamming detection while keeping and improving the clustering quality. Also, the proposed solution can enable the real-time detection and be integrated to anti-jamming applications.

Abstract anzeigen

The integration of 6LoWPAN standard in the Internet of Things (IoT) has been emerging and applied in many domains such as smart transportation and healthcare. However, given the resource constrained nature of nodes in the IoT, 6LoWPAN is vulnerable to a variety of attacks, among others, replication attack can be launched to consume the node’s resources and degrade the network’s performance. This paper therefore proposes a trust-based detection strategy against replication attacks in IoT, where a number of replica nodes are intentionally inserted into the network to test the reliability and response of witness nodes. We further assess the feasibility of the proposed detection strategy and compare with other two strategies of brute-force and first visited with a thorough simulation, taking into account the detection probability for compromised attacks and the execution time of transactions. The simulation results show that the proposed trust-based strategy can significantly increase the detection probability to 90% on average against replication attacks, while within the number of nodes up to 1000 the detection runtime on average keeps around 60 s.

A Deployable Data as a Service Architecture for Enterprises

pg. 278-285.

  • (2021)

DOI: 10.5220/0010470702780285

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, data have been considered as one of the valuable assets in enterprises. Although the cloud computing and service-oriented architecture are capable of accommodating the data asset, they are more focused on software or platforms rather than the data per se. Thus, data management in cloud computing is usually not prioritized and not well organized. In recent years, Data as a Service (DaaS) has been emerged as a critical concept for enterprises. It benefits from a variety of aspects such as data agility and data quality management. However, it is still unknown for enterprises why and how to develop and deploy a DaaS architecture. This paper is therefore to design a deployable DaaS architecture that is based on the as-a-Service principles and especially tackles data management as a service. To validate the architecture, we have implemented the proposed DaaS with a real-world deployment.

Service Design for Resilience: A Multi-Contextual Modeling Perspective

In: IEEE Access vol. 8 pg. 185526-185543.

  • (2020)

DOI: 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3029320

Abstract anzeigen

This paper introduces a conceptual framework aiming to broaden the discussion on resilience for the design of public services. From a theoretical point of view, the paper explores service design with a Systems Thinking lens. A multi-contextual perspective aiming to analyze, decompose, and design smart cities services where resilience is an input at the service design level is described and the four diamondsof-context model for service design (4DocMod) is introduced. This service model accommodates various actors' contexts in public service design and consists of four design artefacts, the diamonds (See, Recognize, Organize, Do). From a practical point of view, guidelines for the application of the 4DocMod service model extension for resilience are described along with two case studies addressing the recent COVID-19 pandemic that illustrates a clear situation of resilience with insights in multiple contexts. According to the findings of this paper, it is obvious that resilience is not “just”a request. Instead, it plays a higher role within the service system. It is not “just”another Context, either. Instead, it goes through many contexts with different circumstances. In this manner, it is possible to address the qualities through which actors can become resilient, at the service design stage, to ensure continuity of the public services in times of emergency. As our approach using the 4DocMod is proposing, resilience may be is achieved when specific properties are provisioned at information service design level.

A Cross-Domain Comparative Study of Big Data Architectures

In: International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems vol. 29 pg. 2030001.

  • (2020)

DOI: 10.1142/S0218843020300016

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, a variety of Big Data architectures are emerging to organize the Big Data life cycle. While some of these architectures are proposed for general usage, many of them are proposed in a specific application domain such as smart cities, transportation, healthcare, and agriculture. There is, however, a lack of understanding of how and why Big Data architectures vary in different domains and how the Big Data architecture strategy in one domain may possibly advance other domains. Therefore, this paper surveys and compares the Big Data architectures in different application domains. It also chooses a representative architecture of each researched application domain to indicate which Big Data architecture from a given domain the researchers and practitioners may possibly start from. Next, a pairwise cross-domain comparison among the Big Data architectures is presented to outline the similarities and differences between the domain-specific architectures. Finally, the paper provides a set of practical guidelines for Big Data researchers and practitioners to build and improve Big Data architectures based on the knowledge gathered in this study.

Developing Reliable Taxonomic Features for Data Warehouse Architectures

pg. 241-249.

  • (2020)

DOI: 10.1109/CBI49978.2020.00033

Abstract anzeigen

Since there is a large variety of data warehouse architectures with different structures and components, it is very difficult and time-consuming to systematically analyse them and obtain insights from those architectures. One effective way to understand those architectures is using a taxonomy to classify them. However, most of the taxonomic features are derived in an ad-hoc way and the reliability of those features is unknown. This paper therefore is to develop a set of reliable features by modeling different data warehouse architectures and further generate the structural knowledge represented by a taxonomy. This taxonomy is further validated by evaluating two real-world data warehouse architectures from IBM and Facebook.

An Efficient Mutual Authentication Scheme for Internet of Things

In: Internet of Things vol. 9 pg. 100160.

DOI: 10.1016/j.iot.2020.100160

Abstract anzeigen

The Internet of Things (IoT) is developed to facilitate the connections and data sharing among people, devices, and systems. Among the infrastructural IoT techniques, Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) has been used to enable the proliferation and communication in IoT networks. However, the RFID techniques usually suffer from security issues due to the inherent weaknesses of underlying wireless radio communications. One of the main security issues is the authentication vulnerability from the jamming attack. In order to tackle the vulnerabilities of key updating algorithms, this paper therefore proposes an efficient authentication scheme based on the self-adaptive and mutual key updating. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance and applicability of our solution with a thorough simulation by taking into account the energy consumption, authentication failure rate and authentication delay. The feasibility and applicability are demonstrated by implementing the proposed authentication scheme in smart home IoT systems.

Developing the Quality Model for Collaborative Open Data

In: Procedia Computer Science vol. 176 pg. 1883-1892.

DOI: 10.1016/j.procs.2020.09.228

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, the development of data sharing technologies allows to involve more people to collaboratively contribute knowledge on the Web. The shared knowledge is usually represented as Collaborative Open Data (COD), for example, Wikipedia is one of the well-known sources for COD. The Wikipedia articles can be written in different languages, updated in real time, and originated from a vast variety of editors. However, COD also bring different data quality problems such as data inconsistency and low data objectiveness due to the crowd-based and dynamic nature. These data quality problems such as biased information may lead to sentimental changes or social impacts. This paper therefore proposes a new measurement model to assess the quality of COD. In order to evaluate the proposed model, A preliminary experiment is conducted with a large scale of Wikipedia articles to validate the applicability and efficiency of this proposed quality model in the real-world scenario.

Improving orienteering-based tourist trip planning with social sensing

In: Future Generation Computer Systems vol. 110 pg. 931-945.

DOI: 10.1016/j.future.2019.10.028

Abstract anzeigen

We enhance a tourist trip planning framework based on orienteering with category constraints by adding social sensing. This allows us to customize a user’s experience without putting the burden of preference elicitation on the user. We identify the interests of a user by analyzing their Tweets and then match these interests to descriptions of points of interests. For this analysis we adapt different schemes for social sensing to the needs of our orienteering context and compare them to find the most suitable approach. We show that our technique is fast enough for use in real-time dynamic settings and also has a higher accuracy compared to previous approaches. Additionally, we integrate a more efficient algorithm for solving the orienteering problem, boosting the overall performance and utility of our framework further, as demonstrated by the positive user satisfaction received by real users.

Improving Big Data Clustering for Jamming Detection in Smart Mobility

In: ICT Systems Security and Privacy Protection. 35th IFIP TC-11 SEC 2020 International Information Security and Privacy Conference (IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology)

Cham, Switzerland

  • (2020)

Abstract anzeigen

Smart mobility, with its urban transportation services ranging from real-time traffic control to cooperative vehicle infrastructure systems, is becoming increasingly critical in smart cities. These smart mobility services thus need to be very well protected against a variety of security threats, such as intrusion, jamming, and Sybil attacks. One of the frequently cited attacks in smart mobility is the jamming attack. In order to detect the jamming attacks, different anti-jamming applications have been developed to reduce the impact of malicious jamming attacks. One important step in anti-jamming detection is to cluster the vehicular data. However, it is usually very time-consuming to detect the jamming attacks that may affect the safety of roads and vehicle communication in real-time. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient big data clustering model, coresets-based clustering, to support the real-time detection of jamming attacks. We validate the model efficiency and applicability in the context of a typical smart mobility system: Vehicular Ad-hoc Network, known as VANET.

Exploring Personalized University Ranking and Recommendation

pg. 6-10.

  • (2020)

DOI: 10.1145/3386392.3397590

Abstract anzeigen

Finding the right university to study is still a challenge for many people due to the large number of universities worldwide. Although there exist a number of global university rankings, they provide non# personalized rankings as one-size-fits-all solution. This becomes an issue since different people may have different preferences and considerations in mind, when choosing the university to study. This paper addresses this problem and presents a Recommender System to generate a personalized ranking list based on users particular preferences. The system is capable of eliciting users preferences, provided as ratings for universities, building predictive models on the preference data, and generating a personalized university ranking list that is tailored to the particular preferences and needs of the users. We performed two sets of experiments. First, we conducted an offline experiment using a dataset of user preferences, collected by the early version of our system. This allowed us to cross-validate and compare different recommender algorithms and choose the most accurate recommender algorithm that can better suit the particular problem at hand. We integrated the chosen algorithm in the final implementation of our system. As the follow-up, we performed a user study in order to analyze whether or not the final version of our system is usable from the perception of users. The results showed that the system has scored well above the benchmark and users assessed it as "good" in term of usability.

Industrial Involvement in Information System Education: Lessons Learned from a Software Quality Course

Toulon, France

  • (2019)

Abstract anzeigen

As Information System (IS) development is closely related to industry and real-world applications, industrial involvement is a critical element in IS education. This paper studies one typical IS course - a Software Quality course, and reflects our experience with involving a mix of industrial experts in building a practical IS course that would increase students’ competences in critical thinking about the consequences of the design and quality engineering decisions that they are making during software development. In the course design, the industrial experts are involved in lecturing, hands-on-exercise seminars and final student evaluation. We find that students are showing active course participation with our designed industrial involvement. Furthermore, we summarize lessons learned from the industry involvement, as well as the reflections on the value perceived by the industrial experts involved in the IS education.

Abstract anzeigen

The paper aims to model and analyse the way how complex services can be designed. The main issue of the complex service design is that stakeholders act within different contexts, because most cases are with more than one value proposition chains of services. The design of such complex services cannot be in isolation from other services in the entire service ecosystem. Therefore, this paper proposes a model to show how the service can be decomposed to atomic elements and how they can be used to design service with a better value proposition for service receivers. One of the most important roles in service modelling is the agent, which can be the provider, collaborator, or receiver of the service. The way how individual agents and teams are organized in the value proposition chain is a key factor for increasing service efficiency. Thus, the agents are usually distributed in different teams, serving for different services in different contexts. However, all those actions can be related, and mostly the relations are affecting the behaviour of agents in different environments. The paper is therefore to address how to describe the role of each agent in a specific context and connect it with the other contexts in service design. In order to validate the model, this paper demonstrates how to model the services in the smart mobility applications

Abstract anzeigen

With the development of new medical auxiliaries such as virtual reality and surgery robotics, recommender systems are emerged to interact with the medical auxiliaries and support doctor’s decisions and operations, especially in collaborative healthcare, recommender systems can interactively take into account the preferences and concerns from both patients and doctors. However, how to apply and integrate recommender systems is still not clear in collaborative healthcare. Therefore, from practical perspective this paper investigates the application of recommender systems in three typical collaborative healthcare domains, which are augmented/virtual reality, medicine and surgery robotics. The results not only provide the insights of how to integrate recommender systems with healthcare auxiliaries but also discuss the practical guidance of how to design recommender systems in collaborative healthcare.

DOI: 10.4018/IJOCI.2019040102

Abstract anzeigen

Due to the massive data increase in different Internet of Things (IoT) domains such as healthcare IoT and Smart City IoT, Big Data technologies have been emerged as critical analytics tools for analyzing the IoT data. Among the Big Data technologies, data clustering is one of the essential approaches to process the IoT data. However, how to select a suitable clustering algorithm for IoT data is still unclear. Furthermore, since Big Data technology are still in its initial stage for different IoT domains, it is thus valuable to propose and structure the research challenges between Big Data and IoT. Therefore, this article starts by reviewing and comparing the data clustering algorithms that can be applied in IoT datasets, and then extends the discussions to a broader IoT context such as IoT dynamics and IoT mobile networks. Finally, this article identifies a set of research challenges that harvest a research roadmap for the Big Data research in IoT domains. The proposed research roadmap aims at bridging the research gaps between Big Data and various IoT contexts.

DOI: 10.1145/3356994.3365502

Abstract anzeigen

Trip planning services are employed extensively by users to compute paths between locations and navigate within a road network. In some real-world scenarios such as planning for a hiking trip or running training, users usually require personalized trip planning. Although some existing systems can recommend trips that other users have posted, along with a set of ratings w.r.t. the difficulty of the route, conditions, or the enjoyment it provides. Very often though users want to define a custom trip that fits their personal needs, for which existing systems are unable to provide any rating. In this paper we therefore define the problem of inferring ratings for custom trips. We also outline a solution to infer ratings by utilizing the ratings of trips previously posted by users and their similarity with a given custom trip. Finally, we present the results of preliminary experiments were we evaluate the efficiency of our proposed approach on inferring ratings for trips related to hiking and other similar activities.

Abstract anzeigen

With the development of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices, Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been used as a promising technology for the proliferation and communication in IoT networks. However, the RFID techniques are usually plagued with security and privacy issues due to the inherent weaknesses of underlying wireless radio communications. Although several RFID authentication mechanisms have been proposed to address the security concerns in RFID, most of them are still vulnerable to some active attacks, especially the jamming attack. This paper therefore proposes a novel self-adaptive authentication mechanism with a robust key updating, in order to tackle the security vulnerabilities of key updating algorithms and their inability to jamming attacks. Furthermore, we assess the performance and applicability of our solution with a thorough simulation by taking into account the energy consumption and authentication failure rate.

Analysis of Data Warehouse Architectures: Modeling and Classification

pg. 604-611.

  • (2019)

DOI: 10.5220/0007728006040611

Abstract anzeigen

With decades of development and innovation, data warehouses and their architectures have been extended to a variety of derivatives in various environments to achieve different organisations’ requirements. Although there are some ad-hoc studies on data warehouse architecture (DWHA) investigations and classifications, limited research is relevant to systematically model and classify DWHAs. Especially in the big data era, data is generated explosively. More emerging architectures and technologies are leveraged to manipulate and manage big data in this domain. It is therefore valuable to revisit and investigate DWHAs with new innovations. In this paper, we collect 116 publications and model 73 disparate DWHAs using Archimate, then 9 representative DWHAs are identified and summarised into a”big picture”. Furthermore, it proposes a new classification model sticking to state-of-the-art DWHAs. This model can guide researchers and practitioners to identify, analyse and compare differences and trends of DWHAs from componental and architectural perspectives.

DOI: 10.5220/0007717402860293

Abstract anzeigen

3D data have been widely used to represent complex data objects in different domains such as virtual reality, 3D printing or biological data analytics. Due to complexity of 3D data, it is usually featured as big 3D data. One of the typical big 3D data is the protein data, which can be used to visualize the protein structure in a 3D style. However, the 3D data also bring various data quality problems, which may cause the delay, inaccurate analysis results, even fatal errors for the critical decision making. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel big 3D data process model with specific consideration of 3D data quality. In order to validate this model, we conduct a case study for cleaning and analyzing the protein data. Our case study includes a comprehensive taxonomy of data quality problems for the 3D protein data and demonstrates the utility of our proposed model. Furthermore, this work can guide the researchers and domain experts such as biologists to manage the quality of their 3D protein data.

Scaling Big Data Applications in Smart City with Coresets

pg. 357-363.

  • (2019)

DOI: 10.5220/0007958803570363

Abstract anzeigen

With the development of Big Data applications in Smart Cities, various Big Data applications are proposed within the domain. These are however hard to test and prototype, since such prototyping requires big computing resources. In order to save the effort in building Big Data prototypes for Smart Cities, this paper proposes an enhanced sampling technique to obtain a coreset from Big Data while keeping the features of the Big Data, such as clustering structure and distribution density. In the proposed sampling method, for a given dataset and an ε>0, the method computes an ε-coreset of the dataset. The ε-coreset is then modified to obtain a sample set while ensuring the separation and balance in the set. Furthermore, by considering the representativeness of each sample point, our method can helps to remove noises and outliers. We believe that the coreset-based technique can be used to efficiently prototype and evaluate Big Data applications in the Smart City.

Abstract anzeigen

Many data driven organisations need to integrate data from multiple, distributed and heterogeneous resources for advanced data analysis. A data integration system is an essential component to collect data into a data warehouse or other data analytics systems. There are various alternatives of data integration systems which are created in-house or provided by vendors. Hence, it is necessary for an organisation to compare and benchmark them when choosing a suitable one to meet its requirements. Recently, the TPC-DI is proposed as the first industrial benchmark for evaluating data integration systems. When using this benchmark, we find some typical data quality problems in the TPC-DI data source such as multi-meaning attributes and inconsistent data schemas, which could delay or even fail the data integration process. This paper explains processes of this benchmark and summarises typical data quality problems identified in the TPC-DI data source. Furthermore, in order to prevent data quality problems and proactively manage data quality, we propose a set of practical guidelines for researchers and practitioners to conduct data quality management when using the TPC-DI benchmark.

DOI: 10.1016/j.future.2018.04.053

Abstract anzeigen

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data technologies have emerged as a critical data analytics tool to bring the knowledge within IoT infrastructures to better meet the purpose of the IoT systems and support critical decision making. Although the topic of Big Data analytics itself is extensively researched, the disparity between IoT domains (such as healthcare, energy, transportation and others) has isolated the evolution of Big Data approaches in each IoT domain. Thus, the mutual understanding across IoT domains can possibly advance the evolution of Big Data research in IoT. In this work, we therefore conduct a survey on Big Data technologies in different IoT domains to facilitate and stimulate knowledge sharing across the IoT domains. Based on our review, this paper discusses the similarities and differences among Big Data technologies used in different IoT domains, suggests how certain Big Data technology used in one IoT domain can be re-used in another IoT domain, and develops a conceptual framework to outline the critical Big Data technologies across all the reviewed IoT domains.

Abstract anzeigen

With the widespread availability of media technologies, such as real-time streaming, new Internet-of-Thing devices and smart phones, multimedia data are extensively increased and the big multimedia data rapidly spread over various social networks. This has created complexity and information overload for users to choose the suitable multimedia objects. Thus, different multimedia recommender systems have been emerging to help users find the useful multimedia objects that are possibly preferred by the user. However, the evaluation of these multimedia recommender systems is still in an ad-hoc stage. Given the distinct features of multimedia objects, the evaluation criteria adopted from the general recommender systems might not be effectively used to evaluate multimedia recommendations. In this paper, we therefore review and analyze the evaluation criteria that have been used in the previous multimedia recommender system papers. Based on the review, we propose a generalized evaluation framework to guide the researchers and practitioners to perform evaluations, especially user-centric evaluations, for multimedia recommender systems.

Abstract anzeigen

With the increase of digitalisation, data in social media are often seen as more updated and realistic than the information system representations. Due to the fast changes in the real world and the increasing Big Social media data, there is usually certain misalignment between the social media and information system in the enterprise such as ERP, therefore there can be data deficiencies or data quality problems in the information systems, which is caused by the differences between the external social media and internal information system. In this paper, underpinned by the work of ontological data quality from Wang and Wand 1996, we investigate a set of data quality problems between two representations Social Media and ERP. We further discuss how ERP system can be improved from the data quality perspective.

Abstract anzeigen

Over the last decade, the concept of the Smart City has been extensively studied with the development of modern societies. However, due to the complexity of Smart City, there does not exist a widely accepted definition for the Smart City. More recently, Ramaprasad et al. in 2017 have proposed a Smart City ontology that connects its relevant concepts with specified relations. This ontology thus can offer various paths by which theory and practice contribute to the development and understanding of a Smart City. However, this ontologyis still lacking practical validations to verify its applicability, Therefore, in this paper, we select a set of critical Smart City papers and validate this ontology by fitting the papers into this ontology. Based on the validations,we also further propose and discuss the possible extensions and consolidations for this Smart City Ontology.

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, many business intelligence or master data management initiatives are based on regular data integration, since data integration intends to extract and combine a variety of data sources, it is thus considered as a prerequisite for data analytics and management. More recently, TPC-DI is proposed as an industry benchmark for data integration. It is designed to benchmark the data integration and serve as a standardisation to evaluate the ETL performance. There are a variety of data quality problems such as multi-meaning attributes and inconsistent data schemas in source data, which will not only cause problems for the data integration process but also affect further data mining or data analytics. This paper has summarised typical data quality problems in the data integration and adapted the traditional data quality dimensions to classify those data quality problems. We found that data completeness, timeliness and consistency are critical for data quality management in data integr ation, and data consistency should be further defined in the pragmatic level. In order to prevent typical data quality problems and proactively manage data quality in ETL, we proposed a set of practical guidelines for researchers and practitioners to conduct data quality management in data integration.

Abstract anzeigen

Over the last years many data quality initiatives and suggestions report how to improve and sustain data quality. However, almost all data quality projects and suggestions focus on the assessment and one-time quality improvement, especially, suggestions rarely include how to sustain the continuous data quality improvement. Inspired by the work related to variability in supply chains, also known as the Bullwhip effect, this paper aims to suggest how to sustain data quality improvements and investigate the effects of delays in reporting data quality indicators. Furthermore, we propose that a data quality prediction model can be used as one of countermeasures to reduce the Data Quality Bullwhip Effect. Based on a real-world case study, this paper makes an attempt to show how to reduce this effect. Our results indicate that data quality success is a critical practice, and predicting data quality improvements can be used to decrease the variability of the data quality index in a long run.

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Methods in the Mobile Cloud Offloading Paradigm

In: Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (JSAN) vol. 6 pg. 25.

  • (2017)

DOI: 10.3390/jsan6040025

Abstract anzeigen

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is becoming a popular mobile technology that aims to augment local resources of mobile devices, such as energy, computing, and storage, by using available cloud services and functionalities. The offloading process is one of the techniques used in MCC to enhance the capabilities of mobile devices by moving mobile data and computation-intensive operations to cloud platforms. Several techniques have been proposed to perform and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the offloading process, such as multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). MCDA is a well-known concept that aims to select the best solution among several alternatives by evaluating multiple conflicting criteria, explicitly in decision making. However, as there are a variety of platforms and technologies in mobile cloud computing, it is still challenging for the offloading process to reach a satisfactory quality of service from the perspective of customers’ computational service requests. Thus, in this paper, we conduct a literature review that leads to a better understanding of the usability of the MCDA methods in the offloading operation that is strongly reliant on the mobile environment, network operators, and cloud services. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of these MCDA techniques for offloading research in mobile cloud computing. Finally, we recommend a set of future research directions in MCDA used for the mobile cloud offloading process.

With the rapid expansion of emerging digital technologies, digital service creation and delivery demand new and more structured ways to design, develop and manage the service sustainability. Although, there are various views and strategic aspects from different stakeholders for designing the digital services, the clear answer specifying how to design the digital service within IT architectures or how to re-use design processes learned from service design used in previous Digital City projects is still unknown. In order to derive the digital service design principles, we study the IT architectures that are related to digital services and revisit one typical Digital City - Barcelona. Based on the lessons learned from the Digital City project, we propose a set of design principles that can guide researchers and practitioners to design the digital services in a Digital City.

Abstract anzeigen

One of the most important steps in building a recommender system is the interaction design process, which defines how the recommender system interacts with a user. It also shapes the experience the user gets, from the point she registers and provides her preferences to the system, to the point she receives recommendations generated by the system. A proper interaction design may improve user experience and hence may result in higher usability of the system, as well as, in higher satisfaction. In this paper, we focus on the interaction design of a mobile food recommender system that, through a novel interaction process, elicits users’ long-term and short-term preferences for recipes. User’s long-term preferences are captured by asking the user to rate and tag familiar recipes, while for collecting the short-term preferences, the user is asked to select the ingredients she would like to include in the recipe to be prepared. Based on the combined exploitation of both types of preferences, a set of personalized recommendations is generated. We conducted a user study measuring the usability of the proposed interaction. The results of the study show that the majority of users rates the quality of the recommendations high and the system achieves usability scores above the standard benchmark.

DOI: 10.1145/2792838.2796554

Abstract anzeigen

With the rapid changes in the food variety and lifestyles, many people are facing the problem of making healthier food decisions to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. To this end, our recommender system not only offers recipe recommendations that suit the user's preference but is also able to take the user's health into account. It is developed on a mobile platform by considering that our application may be directly used in the kitchen. This demo paper summarizes the complete human-computer interaction design, the implemented health-aware recommendation algorithm and preliminary user feedback.

  • (2015)

DOI: 10.1080/08874417.2013.11645651

Abstract anzeigen

A number of studies suggest that making correct decisions depends on high-quality information; how information quality affects decision-making is still not fully understood. Following the multi-dimensional view of information quality, this paper investigates the effects of information accuracy, completeness, and consistency on decision-making. Results show that information accuracy and completeness affect decision quality significantly. Although the effect of information consistency on decision quality appears to be non-significant, consistency of information may intensify the contribution of accuracy, indicating that information accuracy and consistency influence decision quality jointly.

Using Tags and Latent Factors in a Food Recommender System

pg. 105-112.

  • (2015)

DOI: 10.1145/2750511.2750528

Abstract anzeigen

Due to the extensive growth of food varieties, making better and healthier food choices becomes more and more complex. Most of the current food suggestion applications offer just generic advices that are not tailored to the user's personal taste. To tackle this issue, we propose in this paper a novel food recommender system that provides high quality and personalized recipe suggestions. These recommendations are generated by leveraging a data set of users' preferences expressed in the form of users' ratings and tags, which signal the food's ingredients or features that the users like. Our empirical evaluation shows that the proposed recommendation technique significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms. We have found that using tags in food recommendation algorithms can significantly increase the prediction accuracy, i.e., the match of the predicted preferences with the true user's preferred recipes. Furthermore, our user study shows that our system prototype is of high usability.

How should I explain? A comparison of different explanation types for recommender systems

In: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies vol. 72 pg. 367-382.

  • (2014)

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2013.12.007

Abstract anzeigen

Recommender systems help users locate possible items of interest more quickly by filtering and ranking them in a personalized way. Some of these systems provide the end user not only with such a personalized item list but also with an explanation which describes why a specific item is recommended and why the system supposes that the user will like it. Besides helping the user understand the output and rationale of the system, the provision of such explanations can also improve the general acceptance, perceived quality, or effectiveness of the system. In recent years, the question of how to automatically generate and present system-side explanations has attracted increased interest in research. Today some basic explanation facilities are already incorporated in e-commerce Web sites such as Amazon.com. In this work, we continue this line of recent research and address the question of how explanations can be communicated to the user in a more effective way. In particular, we present the results of a user study in which users of a recommender system were provided with different types of explanation. We experimented with 10 different explanation types and measured their effects in different dimensions. The explanation types used in the study include both known visualizations from the literature as well as two novel interfaces based on tag clouds. Our study reveals that the content-based tag cloud explanations are particularly helpful to increase the user-perceived level of transparency and to increase user satisfaction even though they demand higher cognitive effort from the user. Based on these insights and observations, we derive a set of possible guidelines for designing or selecting suitable explanations for recommender systems.

Abstract anzeigen

Nowadays, Recommender Systems (RSs) play a key role in many businesses. They provide consumers with relevant recommendations, e.g., Places of Interest (POIs) to a tourist, based on user preference data, mainly in the form of ratings for items. The accuracy of recommendations largely depends on the quality and quantity of the ratings (preferences) provided by the users. However, users often tend to rate no or only few items, causing low accuracy of the recommendation. Active Learning (AL) addresses this problem by actively selecting items to be presented to the user in order to acquire a larger number of high-quality ratings (preferences), and hence, improve the recommendation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a personalized active learning approach that leverages user’s personality data to get more and better in-context ratings. We have designed a novel human computer interaction and assessed our proposed approach in a live user study - which is not common in active learning research. The main result is that the system is able to collect better ratings and provide more relevant recommendations compared to a variant that is using a state of the art approach to preference acquisition.

Explaining Online Recommendations Using Personalized Tag Clouds

DOI: 10.1524/icom.2011.0002

Abstract anzeigen

Recommender systems are sales-supporting applications that are usually integrated into online shops and are designed to point the visitor to products or services she or he might be interested in but has not bought yet. In the last decade, many techniques have been developed to improve the predictive accuracy of such systems. However, there are also factors other than accuracy that infl uence the user-perceived quality of such a system. In particular, system-generated explanations as to why a certain item has been recommended have shown to be a valuable tool to improve both the user's satisfaction and the system's effi ciency. This paper reports the results of a fi rst user study which was conducted to evaluate whether personalized tag clouds are an appropriate means to visually explain recommendations. The evaluation reveals that using tag clouds as explanation mechanism leads to higher user satisfaction and recommendation effi ciency than previous keyword-style explanations.
