Recommending good driving paths is valuable to taxi drivers for reducing unnecessary waste in fuel and increasing revenue. Driving only according to personal experience may lead to poor performance. With the availability of large-scale GPS traces collected from urban taxis, we have the curiosity about whether we can discover the hidden knowledge in the trace data for smart driving recommendation. This paper focuses on developing a smart recommender system based on mining large-scale GPS trace datasets from a large number of urban taxis. However, such the trace datasets are in nature complex, large-scale, and dynamic, which makes mining the datasets particularly challenging. We first extract vehicular mobility pattern from the large-scale GPS trace datasets. Then, the optimal driving process is modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Solving the MDP problem results in the optimal driving strategy that gives smart recommendation for taxi drivers. In essence, the most rewarding driving paths can be derived in the long run. We have conducted extensive trace driven simulations and conclusive results show that our recommendation algorithm can successfully find good driving paths and outperforms other alternative algorithms.

Cloud computing is regarded as a revolution of the IT industry. It is also a business model, in which the service provider should try to make best use of resources, reduce energy consumption and earn profits as much as possible. Scheduling strategy plays an important role in service providing. A priority based algorithm for scheduling virtual machines on physical hosts in cloud computing environment is proposed. The target of this algorithm is to maximize the benefits of the service providers in the case of current resources are not enough to process all the requests in time. In this strategy, the requests are ranked according to the profits they can bring. Through the experiments, this approach has been proven it can increase the benefits than applying typical first come first serve strategy.

Location awareness plays an indispensable role in a wide variety of application domains such as environment monitoring, and vehicle tracking. In this paper we focus on the localization of mobile users in sparse mobile networks which exist in many practical scenarios where users are distributed over a vast area. The unique characteristics of sparse mobile networks present several challenges for accurate localization, such as constant movement and little information from anchors. By analyzing five large datasets of real users traces with entropy analysis from five sites, we make an important observation that there is strong patterns with user mobility. Motivated by this observation, we propose a localization approach called EMP by exploiting mobility patterns of users for localization in sparse mobile networks. EMP implements a range-free distributed algorithm, with which each user collaboratively estimates its current location by fusing two localization sources, i.e., network connectivity with other nodes and mobility patterns. With trace driven simulations, we demonstrate that EMP significantly improves the localization accuracy, comparing with other existing localization approaches.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is known to be the best non-invasive imaging modality in providing anatomical information as white-matter fiber bundles. However, the Gaussian noise introduced into the diffusion tensor images can bring serious impacts on tensor calculation and fiber tracking. To decrease the effects of the Gaussian noise, many denoising methods have been presented. In this paper, a shearlet based denosing strategy is introduced. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed shearlet based denoising method in accounting for the Gaussian noise introduced into the images, the peak to peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), signal-to-mean squared error ratio (SMSE) and edge keeping index (Beta) metrics are adopted. The experiment results acquired from both the synthetic and real data indicate the good performance of our proposed filter.
