Due to an explosive growth in services running in different datacenters, there is need for service selection and routing to deliver user requests to the best service instance. In current solutions, it is generally the client that must first select a datacenter to forward the request to before an internal load-balancer of the selected datacenter can select the optimal instance. An optimal selection requires knowledge of both network and server characteristics, making clients less suitable to make this decision. Information-Centric Networking (ICN) research solved a similar selection problem for static data retrieval by integrating content delivery as a native network feature. We address the selection problem for services by extending the ICN-principles for services. In this paper we present Queue and Latency, a network-driven service selection algorithm which maps user demand to service instances, taking into account both network and server metrics. To reduce the size of service router forwarding tables, we present a statistical method to approximate an optimal load distribution with minimized router state required. Simulation results show that our statistical routing approach approximates the average system response time of source-based routing with minimized state in forwarding tables.

상호정보 (mutual information)를 이용한 변수 선택법은 반응변수와 설명변수간의 선형적인 연관성뿐만 아니라 비선형적인 연관성을 감지하며, 설명변수 사이의 연관성도 고려하는 좋은 변수선택 방법이다. 하지만 고차원 자료에서 상호정보를 추정하기가 쉽지 않아 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. Cai 등 (2009)은 조건부 상호정보를 이용한 전진선택법과 가지치기법을 이용하여 이러한 문제를 해결하였으며, 마이크로어레이 자료와 같은 고차원 자료에서 조건부 상호정보를 이용한 변수 선택법으로 선택된 변수들로 구성된 SVM의 분류 성능이 SVM-RFE 및 기존의 필터링 방법으로 선택된 변수들로 구성된 SVM의 분류 성능보다 뛰어남을 보였다. 하지만 조건부 상호정보를 추정할 때 사용된 Parzen window 방법은 변수의 수가 많아질수록 변수 선택 시간이 길어지는 단점으로 인해 이에 대한 보완이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 조건부 상호정보 계산 시 필요한 설명변수의 분포를 다변량 정규분포로 가정함으로써 변수선택을 위한 계산시간을 단축시키며 동시에 변수선택의 성능을 향상시키고자 한다. 반면, 설명변수의 분포를 다변량 정규분포로 가정한다는 것은 강한 제약이 될 수 있으므로 이를 완화시킨 Edgeworth 근사를 이용한 조건부 상호정보 기반의 변수 선택법을 제안한다. 실증분석을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 효율성을 살펴보았으며, 기존의 조건부 상호정보 기반 변수 선택법에 비해 계산 속도나 분류 성능 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, we study Bayesian estimation for the finite population proportion in binary data under selection bias. We use a Bayesian nonignorable selection model to accommodate the selection mechanism. We compare four possible estimators of the finite population proportions based on data analysis as well as Monte Carlo simulation. It turns out that nonignorable selection model might be useful for weekly biased samples.

Intensive computational complexity is an obstacle of enabling multiview video coding for real-time applications. In this paper, we present a fast macroblock (MB) mode selection algorithm for B frames which are based on the computational complexity analyses between the MB mode selection and reference frame selection. Three strategies are proposed to reduce the coding complexity jointly. First, the temporal correlation of MB modes between current MB and its temporal corresponding MBs is utilized to reduce computational complexity in determining the optimal MB mode. Secondly, Lagrangian cost of SKIP mode is compared with that of Inter $16{\times}16$ modes to early terminate the mode selection process. Thirdly, reference frame correlation among different Inter modes is exploited to reduce the number of reference frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can promote the encoding speed by 3.71~7.22 times with 0.08dB PSNR degradation and 2.03% bitrate increase on average compared with the joint multiview video model.

Feature subset selection is as a pre-processing step in learning algorithms. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm, ModifiedFAST, for feature subset selection. This algorithm is suitable for text datasets, and uses the concept of information gain to remove irrelevant and redundant features. A new optimal value of the threshold for symmetric uncertainty, used to identify relevant features, is found. The thresholds used by previous feature selection algorithms such as FAST, Relief, and CFS were not optimal. It has been proven that the threshold value greatly affects the percentage of selected features and the classification accuracy. A new performance unified metric that combines accuracy and the number of features selected has been proposed and applied in the proposed algorithm. It was experimentally shown that the percentage of selected features obtained by the proposed algorithm was lower than that obtained using existing algorithms in most of the datasets. The effectiveness of our algorithm on the optimal threshold was statistically validated with other algorithms.

JPEG steganography detection is an active research topic in the field of information hiding due to the wide use of JPEG image in social network, image-sharing websites, and Internet communication, etc. In this paper, a new steganalysis method for content-adaptive JPEG steganography is proposed by integrating the evolutionary feature selection and classifier ensemble selection. First, the whole framework of the proposed steganalysis method is presented and then the characteristic of the proposed method is analyzed. Second, the feature selection method based on genetic algorithm is given and the implement process is described in detail. Third, the method of classifier ensemble selection is proposed based on Pareto evolutionary optimization. The experimental results indicate the proposed steganalysis method can achieve a competitive detection performance by compared with the state-of-the-art steganalysis methods when used for the detection of the latest content-adaptive JPEG steganography algorithms.

유전표지인자를 이용한 선발(marker assisted selection; MAS)과 전통적인 표현형기록에 근거한 반응의 비교분석을 위하여 고정효과모델(deterministic model)을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 자신의 단일 기록을 이용한 경우와 자신의 기록과 자신의 표지인자 정보를 이용할 경우 유전력이 높을수록 MAS의 효율성이 38%정도 높게 나타났다. 그러나 유전력이 높은 경우(50%) MAS의 효율성은 약 1%정도로서 효율성이 대단히 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 자신의 기록과 부모의 표현형 정보에 표지인자 정보를 추가할 경우 MAS의 효율성은 27% 정도였으며 마찬가지로 유전력이 높은 경우에는 효율성이 0에 가깝게 나타났다. MAS의 효율성은 유전력이 낮을수록 그리고 이용한 표지인자의 유전적 변이가 클수록 효율성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.

Cyber attacks are evolving commensurate with recent developments in information security technology. Intrusion detection systems collect various types of data from computers and networks to detect security threats and analyze the attack information. The large amount of data examined make the large number of computations and low detection rates problematic. Feature selection is expected to improve the classification performance and provide faster and more cost-effective results. Despite the various feature selection studies conducted for intrusion detection systems, it is difficult to automate feature selection because it is based on the knowledge of security experts. This paper proposes a feature selection technique to overcome the performance problems of intrusion detection systems. Focusing on feature selection, the first phase of the proposed system aims at constructing a feature subset using a sequential forward floating search (SFFS) to downsize the dimension of the variables. The second phase constructs a classification model with the selected feature subset using a random forest classifier (RFC) and evaluates the classification accuracy. Experiments were conducted with the NSL-KDD dataset using SFFS-RF, and the results indicated that feature selection techniques are a necessary preprocessing step to improve the overall system performance in systems that handle large datasets. They also verified that SFFS-RF could be used for data classification. In conclusion, SFFS-RF could be the key to improving the classification model performance in machine learning.

Web services instances can be classified into two categories, namely trusted and untrusted from users. A web service with high throughput (TP) and low response time (RT) instance values is a trusted web service. Web services are not trustworthy due to the mismatch in the guaranteed instance values and the actual values achieved by users. To perform web services selection from users' attained TP and RT values, we need to verify the correct prediction of trusted and untrusted instances from invoked web services. This accurate prediction of web services instances is used to perform the selection of web services. We propose to construct fuzzy rules to label web services instances correctly. This paper presents web services selection using a well-known machine learning algorithm, namely REPTree, for the correct prediction of trusted and untrusted instances. Performance comparison of REPTree with five machine learning models is conducted on web services datasets. We have performed experiments on web services datasets using a ten k-fold cross-validation method. To evaluate the performance of the REPTree classifier, we used accuracy metrics (Sensitivity and Specificity). Experimental results showed that web service (WS1) gained top selection score with the (47.0588%) trusted instances, and web service (WS2) was selected the least with (25.00%) trusted instances. Evaluation results of the proposed web services selection approach were found as (asymptotic sig. = 0.019), demonstrating the relationship between final selection and recommended trust score of web services.
