Chosen-ciphertext security has been well-accepted as a standard security notion for public key encryption. But in a multi-user surrounding, it may not be sufficient, since the adversary may corrupt some users to get t...

A three way collaboration between industry and two UK universities led to the development of an intelligent spend analysis system. In this paper we outline how a novel combination of the 'Decision Tree' and 'Bayesian Classifier' algorithms1, working with 'big data' on a real world e-procurement problem, led to the development of sophisticated, A.I. driven, intelligent spend analysis software, subsequently commercially marketed throughout the UK as the 'SpendInsight' system;a system recently deployed by the UK-National Audit Office (NAO) to highlight potential savings to UK-National Health Service (NHS) procurement of £500 million per annum [14]. We subsequently investigate how deep-rooted 'institutional inertia' can often work to inhibit the full realisation of the potential economic benefits to an organisation that should accrue from the deployment of intelligent spend analysis. Finally we demonstrate how, by linking the institutional roll-out of intelligent spend analysis to an overarching green policy agenda, such barriers may be overcome. We conclude the paper by showing (perhaps counter-intuitively) that at the societal level a strong green policy agenda may realise significant benefit for both the environment and the economy.

Modern life has a strong tie with ICT technology, so as to the sensing technology which has played an important role than before. Its application is somewhat more than we have learned, such as education. Meanwhile, with the advance of software/hardware and the popularity of the Internet, e-books have drawn much of attention. With the introduction of the sensing technology to e-readers, it instills e-books the functions of reading or learning behavior. In self-learning situation, learners often suffer from detraction problem which cannot be easily detected and amended. In this study, we proposed a sensor-assisted learning system to monitor a learner's retention during the reading or learning process. The system has been incorporated into an e-book platform, or e-reader to become a personalized e-reader system. We proceed to conduct two experiments for sensor-assisted model (SAM) and e-book systems, respectively. The ultimate objective is to establish an adaptive personalized learning system by the feedback of data collected by sensors.
ETL processes are the backbone component of a data warehouse, since they supply the data warehouse with the necessary integrated and reconciled data from heterogeneous and distributed data sources. However, the ETL pr...
