Cloud Services Delivery Networks (CSDN) constructs a layer distributed server overlay over the Internet, which uses the way to the nearest and on-demand approach providing services to end users. Facing the scale and diversification of the resource demand characteristics of the Internet cloud services, CSDN forms different logical sub-server overlay for different kinds of cloud services. However, most servers and bandwidth resources of CSDN are used to deliver the streaming and downloading kind of cloud services, and the dynamic allocation of their delivery resource is the main research emphasis in this paper. This paper first models the problem to be a multi-dimensional facility location problem, according to the two characteristics: the memory resource and bandwidth resource of this kind of application are the bottleneck resource;the hot contents of this kind of application can be delivered using the Peer-to-Peer mechanisms. After the model analyzed and its NP-Complete proved, we then propose a heuristic algorithm. Finally, using the service delivery cost savings as the performance metrics, while the actual system's operation trace is as the input, the effectiveness of the algorithm are comprehensively assessed.

Many chronic diseases, such as heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity, can be related to diet. Hence, the need to accurately measure diet becomes imperative. We are developing methods to use image analysis tools for the identification and quantification of food consumed at a meal. In this paper we describe a new approach to food identification using several features based on local and global measures and a “voting” based late decision fusion classifier to identify the food items. Experimental results on a wide variety of food items are presented.

Mining of repeated patterns from HTML documents is the key step towards Web-based data mining and knowledge extraction. Many web crawling applications need efficient repeated patterns mining techniques to generate their wrapper automatically. Existing approaches such as tree matching and string matching can detect repeated patterns with high precision, but their performance is still a challenge for practical web crawling applications. In this paper, we propose an efficient approach for mining repeated patterns based on indent shape of HTML document. Indent shape is a novel and simple model of HTML document, in which tandem repeated waves have strong association with the repeated patterns to be detected. By scanning an indent shape with a horizontal indent-line from bottom to top, the tandem repeated waves are identified by filtering the wave segments with low self-similarities. After that the boundary of HTML code corresponding to repeated patterns can be identified, which could be transformed to regular expressions formal-defined easily. Extensive experiments on two practical data sets retrieved from Internet show that our approach achieves high efficiency significantly, and its precision performance is also generally better than the existing approaches.

Transmission of multi-view video content is not practical in most mobile environments due to the limited bandwidth and processing power of mobile devices. To support such environments, one can limit the number of views that are being transmitted, known as Scalable Multi-view Video Coding (SMVC). In this paper, we propose a new view selection method for view scalability in multi-view video coding in mobile environments, which uses inter and intra view dissimilarities to determine the most suitable views for the base layer corresponding to the prediction structure and user selected limited number of views. By selecting more correlated views for the base layer, the proposed method provides an improved performance, as confirmed by simulation results, even when all the enhancement layers are dropped due to network limitations.

In this paper, an efficient approach for extracting semantic object using artificial bee colony algorithm(ABCA) has been proposed. First, we reduce speckle noise in the image. Then fitness function of ABC algorithm is constructed, and image pixels are classified into different regions. Further semantic objects are extracted in terms of color information. The simulation results show that the color clustering via bee colony algorithm gives superior results in enhancing cluster compactness.

Representing an image as a set of its key and interesting lines facilitates the image understanding and classification. In this paper, we propose a method to extract the significant and interesting lines of the scene, which probably are useful in image classification. The proposed method is inspired from the Visual Attention, which is a perceptual mechanism in human and other primates that direct their perceptions to the limited regions of the scene. The attended regions are usually valuable in performing the task. Since the approach of using the lines to classify the images is particularly useful for omnidirectional images, we specialize our method to deal with these kinds of images. In the experiments, we demonstrate how our proposed methods improve the image classification performance with processing only small parts of the input images.

Graph isomorphism problem has applications in many fields, such as chemistry, computer science, electronics, and network theory. But the exponential complexity of the algorithm makes the testing is time consuming. In this paper, a new algorithm named Unique Vertex Delete (UVD for short) is presented to speed up the process of isomorphic testing. The main idea of UVD algorithm is deleting vertex continuously to reduce the scale of the problem, and new field is added for each vertex to indicate the information of deleted neighbor vertices. Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the UVD algorithm consistently and significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches.
