Link similarity is widely applied in measuring the similarity between objects, e.g., web pages, scientific papers and social networks. However, there are a lot of drawbacks in existing methods of measuring link similarity. In brief, these methods can not handle some semantic-similar content. Moreover, the computation of them are not accurate in some scenes. In this paper, we present a novel method of measuring link similarity called HSim. It introduces the semantic similarity to calculate the similarity between objects, and overcomes the drawback that existing methods ignore the semantic information of objects. We also develop a novel computation function to make the result of similarity more accurate.

In this paper, we proposed a novel network coding method called local-directed network coding to improve the throughput of the vehicular ad-hoc network. Different from other vehicular network coding methods, we consider the direction of packet transmission. In detail, the intermediate node selects one main packet and some sub-packets from forwards and backwards sending queues, and then encodes these packets into one packet to broadcast. Simulation results show that our approach can efficiently improve the throughput of application layer in vehicular networks.

With the introduction of mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs), nodes are able to participate in a dynamic network which lacks an underlying infrastructure. Before two nodes agree to interact, they must trust that each will satisfy the security and privacy requirements of the other. In this paper, using the cognition inspired method from the brain informatics (BI), we present a novel approach to improving the search efficiency and scalability of MANETs by clustering nodes based on cognitive trust mechanism. The trust relationship is formed by evaluating the level of trust using Bayesian statistic analysis, and clusters can be formed and maintained autonomously by nodes with only partial knowledge. Simulation experiments show that each node can form and join proper clusters, which improve the interaction performance of the entire network. The essence of the underlying reason is analyzed through the theory of complex networks, revealing great scalability of this method.

Consider to the defect of traditional features which have high empirical components. A vehicle classification algorithm based on the fusion of higher-layer features of a deep network and traditional features was proposed. Firstly, the traditional features of PHOG and LBP-EOH were extracted. Secondly, the higher-layer features excavated from the vehicle pictures by deep belief networks were added, making these three kinds of features together by feature fusion. Finally, support vector machine is used to train and classify the vehicle. When the number of training samples is large enough, the algorithm has a significant effect compared to those with traditional features. It can achieve the accuracy of 95% in the six categories of vehicles.

Hybrid sensor network technology is a key component of future ITS applications. In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture that combined VANETs and roadside WSNs for intelligent navigation. Different from traditional ITS application, Sensors in WSNs and VANETs are used to perceive and exchange roadside and vehicular information to support the intelligent navigating decision process. We firstly give the system and protocol architecture, and then we discuss the scenarios and use cases of our system in intelligent navigation. After that, we describe the software and hardware implementation of our prototype, conduct a simulation on the discussed scenarios, and present a detailed data communication experimental result to prove the feasibility of our prototype.

Considering characteristic of mHealth communication and problems of existing methods, this paper presents a real-time communication method for mHealth based on extended XMPP protocol. The method can maintain the role status efficiently and reduce data latency during the communication process. Meanwhile, it can be extended flexibly to meet increasing communication demands of mHealth services. Furthermore, a system framework is presented to support telemonitoring scene. Finally, system implementation and feasibility tests verify the effectiveness of the method and framework.

It is estimated that the breakthrough in the broad deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) could come from smart cars. Indeed, we have seen multi-facet advances around cars: new material, in vehicle infotainment, driverless cars, smart transportation, electrical vehicles, etc. However, in-vehicle-networking has been mainly by wire;the wiring for a car is largely prebuilt during the design phase. With more and more things networked within a car, wiring has taken up 1-2 percent of the total weight. This translates into burning up to 0.1 kilogram fuel over 100 kilometers. On the other hand, the advances in wireless technology, especially the broad acceptance of WirelssHART in the industrial settings, has proved its capability in harsh environments. This paper studies what could happen if we use WirelessHART mesh network for in-vehicle communication. While new wireless network protocols are needed to perform the task of CAN, the dominant in-vehicle fieldbus, WirelessHART could take on the work performed by LIN, the fieldbus for peripheral devices. A detailed study is provided to compare these buses. Road tests were performed, in which a WirelessHART network keeps running for the whole 20 minute period.

Path restoring is a path searching problem in the time-dependent road network with the time constraints of origin and destination. This paper proposes a path restoring algorithm to find the possible path that vehicles may have been driving along. We mined the vehicle trajectories based on historical GPS data and then build a “popular” intersection graph based on its entropy and frequency. Then the restoring path is searched on the sub-graph of the popular intersection graph. The experiment result shows that the proposed algorithm increases 10% compared to that of using time-dependent fastest path method.

Statistical background subtraction has proved to be a robust and effective approach for segmenting and extracting objects without any prior information of the foreground objects. This paper presents two contributions on this topic. The first contribution of this paper proposes a novel approach which introduces the motion mask into the Gaussian Mixture Models to reduce the errors of classical GMMs, which always classifies the moving objects as background incorrectly, and affects the accuracy of the steps followed by, when the objects are still in long periods. The second contribution regards the connected component labeling based on the contour tracking algorithm. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the most recent video coding standard aiming to further reduce the bitrate over 50% as compared to the state-of-the-art H.264/Advanced Video Coding under the same visual quality. In order to achieve this, a number of advanced coding techniques have been adopted in HEVC, including the quadtree structure of Coding Unit (CU), Prediction Unit (PU) and Transform Unit (TU), etc. However, these coding techniques lead to a tremendous increase in HEVC encoding computations. In order to reduce the HEVC encoding computational complexity, the optimal stopping theory is employed herein to design an efficient algorithm to optimize the decision making process when choosing the best coding parameters of CU, PU and TU. Extensive comparative experimental results are performed by the proposed algorithm and another two recent works, which demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is very efficient and better in reducing the HEVC encoding computations while keeping the video quality and compression efficiency almost intact.
