Microkernel integrity is an important aspect of security for the whole microkernel system. Many of the research works on microkernel integrity focus on analysis and safeguards against the existing kernel attacks, and security enhancements for the vulnerabilities of system design and implementation aspects. The formal methods for operating system design and verification ensure the system’s high level of security. The existing formalization work and research for operating system mainly focus on the code-level verification of program correctness. In this paper, we propose a formal abstraction model of microkernel in order to accurately describe the semantics of every kernel behavior, and achieve the description of the whole kernel. Based on the model we illustrate the microkernel integrity criterions and elaborate on the integrity mechanism. Meanwhile, we formally verify the completeness and consistency between the mechanism and the definition of the microkernel integrity. We use the self-implemented operating system VTOS(Verified trusted operating system) as an example to illustrate the design method for the microkernel integrity.

The global TV market has experienced significant changes in its market landscape, and the Smart TV market is growing fast. However, a traditional TV remote is not suitable for interacting with many Smart TV applications, this is particularly true when typing text is necessary, such as searching, browsing, and using social applications. On the other hand, increasingly pervasive mobile devices, such as smartphones, are emerging as an interesting platform for TV interactions given their intuitive input and output modalities. In this paper, we present and evaluate a new design of Second-Screen Smart TV control app, S3TV, for personal mobile devices. We focus on how to reduce visual attention shifting by leveraging touch gesture controls, tailored for personal mobile devices. We conducted comprehensive user studies, subjective usability analysis, objective interaction analysis, and comparative studies against a soft button based control app. The subjective usability analysis showed the prototype achieved a System Usability Score (SUS) of 80.21, well above the average score of 70.12. In addition, the objective interaction analysis confirmed high task success rates and correct action sequences, and touch gesture controls were preferred over hard system keys. Compared to de facto soft button-based control approach, S3TV reduced visual attention shifting and operation delay with improved user experience. Overall the participants reported that they felt satisfied and would like to continue to use S3TV.

Character segmentation is an important topic to improve the overall performance of text recognition methods due to low resolution, complex background and lots of visual variations in video. This paper presents a novel idea for segmenting characters from arbitrarily-oriented text lines based on wavelet and Laplacian combination. Firstly, we explore wavelet which decomposes a given input image into sub-levels like a pyramid structure for segmenting words based on the fact that as decomposition level increases, the gap between characters decreases due to the reduction in the size of the input image, which results in a single component for each word. Secondly, for each segmented word, we propose Laplacian wavelet combination in a new way to extract text candidates. Thirdly, we propose horizontal and vertical sampling for character segmentation from words. The proposed method is tested on curved, non-horizontal and horizontal text lines of video and the ICDAR 2005 natural scene dataset to evaluate its performance. A comparative study with an existing method shows that the proposed method outperforms it in terms of precision and f-measure.
Ontology matching techniques can help improve the accuracy of emergency decisionmaking on heterogeneous data. In this paper, we propose a practical approach to leverage ontology and MapReduce for matching metadata of ...

Although there has been much work on automated GUI regression testing of software, full automation continues to etude us. There are two significant impediments to full automation: obtaining (J) test inputs and (2) test oracle. We now push the envelope 011 full automation of GUI regression testing by fully automatically generating test cases as well as the test oracle, completely eliminating manual work. This allows us to study issues of false positives/negatives in test failure; we provide ways to minimize these. The results of our empirical studies suggest that our approach of using workflow-based test eases, derived front the software under test, may help empower the end user to perform regression testing before applying software updates.

The single greatest opportunity to improve health and reduce premature death lies in personal behavior. While technology-based behavior intervention has been around for many years, the emerging smartphone and wearable sensing technology brings great promise to push health behavior change further by inferring and predicting real-time behavior occurrence and its context. In this paper, we envision how social and physical context awareness could sustain behavior change motivation and assist health habit formation. We describe our preliminary work that supports this vision and outline the research challenges to be addressed.
