Cloud computing system consists of distributed resources in a dynamic and decentralized environment. Therefore, using cloud computing resources efficiently and getting the maximum profits are still challenging problems to the cloud service providers and cloud service users. It is important to provide the efficient scheduling. To schedule cloud resources, numerous heuristic algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithms have been adopted. The paper proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm to solve the above mentioned issues. We first formulate an optimization problem and propose a Modified PSO optimization technique. The performance of MPSO was evaluated against PSO, and GA. Our experimental results show that the proposed MPSO minimizes the task execution time, and maximizes the resource utilization rate.

Ranking thousands of web documents so that they are matched in response to a user query is really a challenging task. For this purpose, search engines use different ranking mechanisms on apparently related resultant web documents to decide the order in which documents should be displayed. Existing ranking mechanisms decide on the order of a web page based on the amount and popularity of the links pointed to and emerging from it. Sometime search engines result in placing less relevant documents in the top positions in response to a user query. There is a strong need to improve the ranking strategy. In this paper, a novel ranking mechanism is being proposed to rank the web documents that consider both the HTML structure of a page and the contextual senses of keywords that are present within it and its back-links. The approach has been tested on data sets of URLs and on their back-links in relation to different topics. The experimental result shows that the overall search results, in response to user queries, are improved. The ordering of the links that have been obtained is compared with the ordering that has been done by using the page rank score. The results obtained thereafter shows that the proposed mechanism contextually puts more related web pages in the top order, as compared to the page rank score.

웹으로부터 사용자가 원하는 정보에 잘 부응하는 정보를 추출하는 것은 검색엔진이 갖추어야 할 기본적 요소라 할 수 있다. 그러나 질의어와의 패턴 매칭 방식에 의존하는 기존의 대부분의 검색엔진은 질의어가 갖는 애매성으로 인하여 사용자의 요구에 부합하는 검색결과를 제공하기가 쉽지 않다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 다음과 같은 5가지 과정, 즉, (i) 질의어 형성, (ii) 질의어 확장, (iii) 검색, (iv) 순위 재생성 및 (v) 지식베이스로 구성되는 지식기반 의미 메타 검색엔진의 기본 구조를 제안한다 영어로 구현된 웹 문서에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안된 지식기반 의미 메타 검색엔진이 기존의 검색엔진(구글)을 사용하여 얻은 결과보다 좋은 결과를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 웹에서 사용자가 방문하고자 하는 곳을 찾아가는 엔트리 페이지 검색을 위한 메타검색 방식을 제안한다. 기존의 연구에서 메타 검색이 여러 검색 엔진에서 많이 나타나는 중복된 문서를 강조하는 방식인 반면에 비해, 본 연구에서는 문서의 중복 개념을 확장하여 특정 도메인 및 디렉토리에서 나온 문서들도 중복되었다고 가정하여 메타검색에 이용하는 방식을 보인다. TREC에 제출된 시스템들의 결과물과 상용 검색 엔진의 결과물을 이용하여, 확장된 중복을 이용한 메타 검색의 유용성을 실험한다. 수행된 실험을 통해서 문서의 단순 중복을 이용하는 기존의 방식이 내용 기반 검색에 유용한 반면, 엔트리 페이지 검색에 있어서는 본 연구에서 제안하는 확장된 중복 방식이 기존 방식의 성능보다 $10\%$ 이상의 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Object segmentation is a challenging task in image processing and computer vision. In this paper, we present a visual attention based segmentation method to segment small sized interesting objects in natural images. Different from the traditional methods, we first search the region of interest by using our novel saliency-based method, which is mainly based on band-pass filtering, to obtain the appropriate frequency. Secondly, we applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to locate the object region. By incorporating the visual attention analysis into object segmentation, our proposed approach is able to narrow the search region for object segmentation, so that the accuracy is increased and the computational complexity is reduced. The experimental results indicate that our proposed approach is efficient for object segmentation in natural images, especially for small objects. Our proposed method significantly outperforms traditional GMM based segmentation.

Recent studies have shown that the neural network-based binary code similarity detection technology performs well in vulnerability mining, plagiarism detection, and malicious code analysis. However, existing cross-architecture methods still suffer from insufficient feature characterization and low discrimination accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a cross-architecture binary function similarity detection method based on composite feature model (SDCFM). Firstly, the binary function is converted into vector representation according to the proposed composite feature model, which is composed of instruction statistical features, control flow graph structural features, and application program interface calling behavioral features. Then, the composite features are embedded by the proposed hierarchical embedding network based on a graph neural network. In which, the block-level features and the function-level features are processed separately and finally fused into the embedding. In addition, to make the trained model more accurate and stable, our method utilizes the embeddings of predecessor nodes to modify the node embedding in the iterative updating process of the graph neural network. To assess the effectiveness of composite feature model, we contrast SDCFM with the state of art method on benchmark datasets. The experimental results show that SDCFM has good performance both on the area under the curve in the binary function similarity detection task and the vulnerable candidate function ranking in vulnerability search task.

In this paper, we present a new generalized k-Tree-based (CU/PE) allocation model to perform dynamic resource (CU/PE) allocation/deallocation decision for the reconfigurable MSIMD/MIMD multi-dimensional (k-D) mesh-connected architectures. Those reconfigurable multi-SIMD/MIMD systems allow dynamic modes of executing tasks, which are SIMD and MIMD. The MIMD task requires only the free sub-system; however the SIMD task needs not only the free sub-system but also the corresponding free CU. In our new k-Tree-based (CU/PE) allocation model, we introduce two best-fit heuristics for the CU allocation decision: 1) the CU depth first search (CU-DFS) in O(kN$_{f}$ ) time and 2) the CU adjacent search (CU-AS) in O(k2$^{k}$ ) time. By the simulation study, the system performance of these two CU allocation strategies was also investigated. Our simulation results showed that the CU-AS and CU-DFS strategies performed the same system performance when applied for the reconfigurable MSIMD/MIMD 2-D and 3-D mesh-connected architectures.

Objective: This study aims to draw an efficient UI design by comparing the usability of App drawer and single-layered home screens, which are smartphone home screens. Background: Because smartphone home screen is frequently used including the installation, deletion, and editing of APPs, it should be designed with easily controllable information structure. There is a need to seek a user-friendly UI by comparing the usability of App drawer and single-layered home screens, of which methods to search Apps are different. There is also a need to examine an efficient UI and the factors to improve from the user perspective. Method: This study targeted 30 Android OS and iOS users to evaluate the App drawer and single-layered home screens, of which UI structures are different. Each participant was instructed to carry out an App searching task and App deleting task, and the execution time and the number of errors were measured. After the tasks were completed, they evaluated satisfaction through a questionnaire survey. Results: In the App searching task with low task level, there was no difference in execution level between the App drawer and single-layered home screens. However, the single-layered home screen showed higher efficiency and accuracy in the App deleting task with high task level. As for the group difference according to use experience, there was no difference in satisfaction among Android OS users, but iOS user satisfaction with single-layered home screen with which they were familiar was higher. Conclusion: As for home screen usability, the single-layered home screen UI structure can be advantageous, as task level is higher. Repulsion was higher, when users, who had used easier UI, used complex UI in comparison with user satisfaction, when users familiar with complex UI used easier UI. A UI indicating the current status with clear label marking through a task flow chart-based analysis, and a UI in which a user can immediately recognize by exposing hidden functions to the first depth were revealed as things to improve. Application: The results of this study are expected to be used as reference data in designing smartphone home screens. Especially, when iOS users use Android OS, the results are presumed to contribute to the reduction of predicted barriers.

In particular, for a practical mobile robot team to perform such a task as that of carrying out a search and rescue mission in a disaster area, the network connectivity and localization have to be guaranteed even in an environment where the network infrastructure is destroyed or a Global Positioning System is unavailable. This paper proposes the new collective intelligence network management architecture of multiple mobile robots supporting seamless network connectivity and cooperative localization. The proposed architecture includes a resource manager that makes the robots move around and not disconnect from the network link by considering the strength of the network signal and link quality. The location manager in the architecture supports localizing robots seamlessly by finding the relative locations of the robots as they move from a global outdoor environment to a local indoor position. The proposed schemes assuring network connectivity and localization were validated through numerical simulations and applied to a search and rescue robot team.
