Title: Measuring Topological Anonymity in Social Networks
Abstract: While privacy preservation of data mining approaches has been an important topic for a number of years, privacy of social network data is a relatively new area of interest. Previous research has shown that anonymization alone may not be sufficient for hiding identity information on certain real world data sets. In this paper, we focus on understanding the impact of network topology and node substructure on the level of anonymity present in the network. We present a new measure, topological anonymity, that quantifies the amount of privacy preserved in different topological structures. The measure uses a combination of known social network metrics and attempts to identify when node and edge inference breeches arise in these graphs.

Title: A DSL for rapid prototyping of cross-platform tower defense games
Abstract: Because of the increasing expansion of the videogame industry, shorten videogame time to market for diverse platforms (e.g, Mac, android, iOS, BlackBerry) is a quest. This paper presents how a Domain Specific Language (DSL) in conjunction with Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) techniques can automate the development of games, in particular, tower defense games such as Plants vs. Zombies. The DSL allows the expression of structural and behavioral aspects of tower defense games. The MDE techniques allow us to generate code from the game expressed in the DSL. The generated code is written in an existing open source language that leverages the portability of the games. We present our approach using an example so-called Space Attack. The example shows the significant benefits offered by our proposal in terms of productivity and portability.

Title: Simulation analysis of dispatching rules for an automated interbay material handling system in wafer fab
Abstract: Here, the performance evaluation of a double-loop interbay automated material handling system (AMHS) in wafer fab was analysed by considering the effects of the dispatching rules. Discrete event simulation models based on SIMPLE++ were developed to implement the heuristic dispatching rules in such an AMHS system with a zone control scheme to avoid vehicle collision. The layout of an interbay system is a combination configuration in which the hallway contains double loops and the vehicles have double capacity. The results show that the dispatching rule has a significant impact on average transport time, waiting time, throughput and vehicle utilization. The combination of the shortest distance with nearest vehicle and the first encounter first served rule outperformed the other rules. Furthermore, the relationship between vehicle number and material flow rate by experimenting with a simulation model was investigated. The optimum combination of these two factors can be obtained by response surface methodology.

Title: Document image segmentation and text area ordering
Abstract: A system for document image segmentation and ordering text areas is described and applied to both Japanese and English complex printed page layouts. There is no need to make any assumption about the shape of blocks, hence the segmentation technique can handle not only skewed images without skew-correction but also documents where column are not rectangular. In this technique, on the bottom-up strategy, the connected components are extracted from the reduced image, and classified according to their local information. The connected components are merged into lines, and lines are merged into areas. Extracted text areas are classified as body, caption, header, and footer. A tree graph of the layout of body texts is made, and we get the order of texts by preorder traversal on the graph. The authors introduce the influence range of each node, a procedure for the title part, and extraction of the white horizontal separator. Making it possible to get good results on various documents. The total system is fast and compact.<<ETX>>

Title: Edge Anonymity in Social Network Graphs
Abstract: Edges in social network graphs may represent sensitive relationships. In this paper, we consider the problem of edges anonymity in graphs. We propose a probabilistic notion of edge anonymity, called graph confidence, which is general enough to capture the privacy breach made by an adversary who can pinpoint target persons in a graph partition based on any given set of topological features of vertexes. We consider a special type of edge anonymity problem which uses vertex degree to partition a graph. We analyze edge disclosure in real-world social networks and show that although some graphs can preserve vertex anonymity, they may still not preserve edge anonymity. We present three heuristic algorithms that protect edge anonymity using edge swap or edge deletion. Our experimental results, based on three real-world social networks and several utility measures, show that these algorithms can effectively preserve edge anonymity yet obtain anonymous graphs of acceptable utility.

Title: Maritime situation awareness capabilities from satellite and terrestrial sensor systems
Abstract: Maritime situation awareness is supported by a combination of satellite, airborne, and terrestrial sensor systems. This paper presents several solutions to process that sensor data into information that supports operator decisions. Examples are vessel detection algorithms based on multispectral image techniques in combination with background subtraction, feature extraction techniques that estimate the vessel length to support vessel classification, and data fusion techniques to combine image based information, detections from coastal radar, and reports from cooperative systems such as (satellite) AIS. Other processing solutions include persistent tracking techniques that go beyond kinematic tracking, and include environmental information from navigation charts, and if available, ELINT reports. And finally rule-based and statistical solutions for the behavioural analysis of anomalous vessels. With that, trends and future work will be presented.

Title: NEAR REAL-TIME AUTOMATIC MARINE VESSEL DETECTION ON OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGES
Abstract: Abstract. Vessel monitoring and surveillance is important for maritime safety and security, environment protection and border control. Ship monitoring systems based on Synthetic-aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images are operational. On SAR images the ships made of metal with sharp edges appear as bright dots and edges, therefore they can be well distinguished from the water. Since the radar is independent from the sun light and can acquire images also by cloudy weather and rain, it provides a reliable service. Vessel detection from spaceborne optical images (VDSOI) can extend the SAR based systems by providing more frequent revisit times and overcoming some drawbacks of the SAR images (e.g. lower spatial resolution, difficult human interpretation). Optical satellite images (OSI) can have a higher spatial resolution thus enabling the detection of smaller vessels and enhancing the vessel type classification. The human interpretation of an optical image is also easier than as of SAR image. In this paper I present a rapid automatic vessel detection method which uses pattern recognition methods, originally developed in the computer vision field. In the first step I train a binary classifier from image samples of vessels and background. The classifier uses simple features which can be calculated very fast. For the detection the classifier is slided along the image in various directions and scales. The detector has a cascade structure which rejects most of the background in the early stages which leads to faster execution. The detections are grouped together to avoid multiple detections. Finally the position, size(i.e. length and width) and heading of the vessels is extracted from the contours of the vessel. The presented method is parallelized, thus it runs fast (in minutes for 16000 × 16000 pixels image) on a multicore computer, enabling near real-time applications, e.g. one hour from image acquisition to end user.

Title: Texture-based vessel classifier for electro-optical satellite imagery
Abstract: Satellite imagery provides a valuable source of information for maritime surveillance. The vast majority of the research regarding satellite imagery for maritime surveillance focuses on vessel detection and image enhancement, whilst vessel classification remains a largely unexplored research topic. This paper presents a vessel classifier for spaceborne electro-optical imagery based on a feature representative across all satellite imagery, texture. Local Binary Patterns were selected to represent vessels for their high distinctivity and low computational complexity. Considering vessels characteristic super-structure, the extracted vessel signatures are sub-divided in three sections bow, middle and stern. A hierarchical decision-level classification is proposed, analysing first each vessel section individually and then combining the results in the second stage. The proposed approach is evaluated with the electro-optical satellite image dataset presented in [1]. Experimental results reveal an accuracy of 85.64% across four vessel categories.

Title: Virtual worlds on demand? Model-driven development of javascript-based virtual world UI components for mobile apps
Abstract: Virtual worlds and avatar-based interactive computer games are a hype among consumers and researchers for many years now. In recent years, such games on mobile devices also became increasingly important. However, most virtual worlds require the use of proprietary clients and authoring environments and lack portability, which limits their usefulness for targeting wider audiences like e.g. in consumer marketing or sales. Using mobile devices and client-side web technologies like i.e. JavaScript in combination with a more automatic generation of customer-specific virtual worlds could help to overcome these limitations. Here, model-driven software development (MDD) provides a promising approach for automating the creation of user interface (UI) components for games on mobile devices. Therefore, in this paper an approach is proposed for the model-driven generation of UI components for virtual worlds using JavaScript and the upcoming Famo.us framework. The feasibilty of the approach is evaluated by implementing a proof-of-concept scenario.

Title: Influence of the shot peening temperature on the relaxation behaviour of residual stresses during cyclic bending
Abstract: Shot peening of steels at elevated temperatures (warm peening) can improve the fatigue behaviour of workpieces. For the steel AI Sf 4140 (German grade 42CrM04) in a quenched and tempered condition, it is shown that this is not only caused by the higher compressive residual stresses induced but also due to an enlarged stability of these residual stresses during cyclic bending. This can be explained by strain aging effects during shot peening, which cause different and more stable dislocation structures.

Title: Residual Stress Relaxation and Fatigue Strength of AISI 4140 under Torsional Loading after Conventional Shot Peening, Stress Peening and Warm Peening
Abstract: Cylindrical rods of 450°C quenched and tempered AISI 41 40 were conventionally shot peened, stress peened and warm peened while rotating in the peening device. Warm peening at Tpeen = 310°C was conducted using a modified air blast shot peening machine with an electric air flow heater system. To perform stress peening using a torsional pre-stress, a device was conceived which allowed rotating pre-stressed samples without having material of the pre-loading gadget between the shot and the samples. Thus, same peening conditions for all peening procedures were ensured. The residual stress distributions present after the different peening procedures were evaluated and compared with results obtained after peening of flat material of the same steel. The differently peened samples were subjected to torsional pulsating stresses (R = 0) at different loadings to investigate their residual stress relaxation behavior. Additionally, the pulsating torsional strengths for the differently peened samples were determined.

Title: Influence of Optimized Warm Peening on Residual Stress Stability and Fatigue Strength of AISI 4140 in Different Material States
Abstract: Using a modified air blasting machine warm peening at 20 O C < T I 410 "C was feasible. An optimized peening temperature of about 310 "C was identified for a 450 "C quenched and ternpered steel AISI 4140. Warm peening was also investigated for a normalized, a 650 "C quenched and tempered, and a martensitically hardened material state. The quasi static surface compressive yield strengths as well as the cyclic surface yield strengths were determined from residual stress relaxation tests conducted at different stress amplitudes and numbers of loading cycles. Dynamic and static strain aging effects acting during and after warm peening clearly increased the residual stress stability and the alternating bending strength for all material states.

Title: Social Media and Emergency Management: Exploring State and Local Tweets
Abstract: Social media for emergency management has emerged as a vital resource for government agencies across the globe. In this study, we explore social media strategies employed by governments to respond to major weather-related events. Using social media monitoring software, we analyze how social media is used in six cities following storms in the winter of 2012. We listen, monitor, and assess online discourse available on the full range of social media outlets (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, blogs). To glean further insight, we conduct a survey and extract themes from citizen comments and government's response. We conclude with recommendations on how practitioners can develop social media strategies that enable citizen participation in emergency management.

Title: An Enhance Approach For Web Services Discovery with QoS
Abstract: The Quality of Service for web services here mainly refers to the quality aspect of a web service. The QoS for web services is becoming increasingly important to service providers and service requesters due to increasing use of web services. Web services providing similar functionalities, more emphasis is being placed on how to find the service that best fits the consumer's requirements. In order to find services that best meet their QoS requirements, the service consumers and/or discovery agents need to know both the QoS information for the services and the reliability of this information. In this paper first of all we implement Reputation-Enhanced Web Services Discovery protocol. And after implementation we enhance the protocol over memory used, time to discovery and response time of given web service.

Title: MLGA: a multilevel cooperative genetic algorithm
Abstract: This paper incorporate the multilevel selection (MLS) theory into the genetic algorithm. Based on this theory, a Multilevel Cooperative Genetic Algorithm (MLGA) is presented. In MLGA, a species is subdivided in a set of populations, each population is subdivided in groups, and evolution occurs at two levels so called individual and group level. A fast population dynamics occurs at individual level. At this level, selection occurs between individuals of the same group. The popular genetic operators such as mutation and crossover are applied within groups. A slow population dynamics occurs at group level. At this level, selection occurs between groups of a population. A group level operator so called colonization is applied between groups in which a group is selected as extinct, and replaced by offspring of a colonist group. We used a set of well known numerical functions in order to evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm. The results showed that the MLGA is robust, and provides an efficient way for numerical function optimization.
