Meanwhile, MSN is susceptible to various types of anonymous information or hacker actions. Trust can reduce the risk of interaction with unknown entities and prevent malicious attacks. In our paper, we present a trust-based service recommendation algorithm in MSN that considers users＇ similarity and friends＇ familiarity when computing trustworthy neighbors of target users. Firstly, we use the context information and the number of co-rated items to define users＇ similarity. Then, motivated by the theory of six degrees of space, the friend familiarity is derived by graph-based method. Thus the proposed methods are further enhanced by considering users＇ context in the recommendation phase. Finally, a set of simulations are conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm. The results show that the friend familiarity and user similarity can effectively improve the recommendation performance, and the friend familiarity contributes more than the user similarity.展开更多

For instance, this technology has evolved the agriculture field, with the precision agriculture challenge. In fact, the cost of sensors and communication infrastructure continuously trend down as long as the technological advances. So, more growers dare to implement WSN for their crops. This technology has drawn substantial interests by improving agriculture productivity. The idea consists of deploying a number of sensors in a given agricultural parcel in order to monitor the land and crop conditions. These readings help the farmer to make the right inputs at the right moment. In this paper, we propose a complete solution for gathering different type of data from variable fields of a large agricultural parcel. In fact, with the in-field variability, adopting a unique data gathering solution for all kinds of fields reveals an inconvenient approach. Besides, as a fault-tolerant application, precision agriculture does not require a high precision value of sensed data. So, our approach deals with a context aware data gathering strategy. In other words, depending on a defined context for the monitored field, the data collector will decide the data gathering strategy to follow. We prove that this approach improves considerably the lifetime of the application.展开更多

Beaconing is the continual exchange of vehicle motion-state information, such as position, speed, and heading, which enables each vehicle to track its neighboring vehicles in real time. This work presents a context-aware adaptive beaconing scheme that dynamically adapts the beaconing repetition rate based on an estimated channel load and the danger severity of the interactions among vehicles. The safety, efficiency, and scalability of the new scheme is evaluated by simulating vehicle collisions caused by inattentive drivers under various road traffic densities. Simulation results show that the new scheme is more efficient and scalable, and is able to improve safety better than the existing non-adaptive and adaptive rate schemes.展开更多

However, forwarding messages in such a network is trapped by many particular challenges, and some protocols have contributed to solve them partly. In this paper, we propose a Context-Aware Adaptive opportunistic Routing algorithm（CAAR）. The algorithm firstly predicts the approximate location and orientation of the destination node by using its movement key positions and historical communication records, and then calculates the best neighbor for the next hop by using location and velocity of neighbors. In the unpredictable cases, forwarding messages will be delivered to the more capable forwarding nodes or wait for another transmission while the capable node does not exist in the neighborhood. The proposed algorithm takes the movement pattern into consideration and can adapt different network topologies and movements. The experiment results show that the proposed routing algorithm outperforms the epidemic forwarding（EF） and the prophet forwarding（PF） in packet delivery ratio while ensuring low bandwidth overhead.展开更多

So, recent aware-context CF takes advantages of such information in order to improve the quality of recommendation. There are three main aware-context approaches: contextual pre-filtering, contextual post-filtering and contextual modeling. Each approach has individual strong points and drawbacks but there is a requirement of steady and fast inference model which supports the aware-context recommendation process. This paper proposes a new approach which discovers multivariate logistic regression model by mining both traditional rating data and contextual data. Logistic model is optimal inference model in response to the binary question “whether or not a user prefers a list of recommendations with regard to contextual condition”. Consequently, such regression model is used as a filter to remove irrelevant items from recommendations. The final list is the best recommendations to be given to users under contextual information. Moreover the searching items space of logistic model is reduced to smaller set of items so-called general user pattern (GUP). GUP supports logistic model to be faster in real-time response.展开更多

Typically, applications in ubiquitous computing environ-ments are context aware, namely, they react to the situations of their users at a given moment in time. One example for such environment is visitor’s guides in cultural heritage sites, supporting visits of individuals or small groups, such as families or friends. In such environments, it is well known that interaction among visitors enhances the overall visit experience. Recently, some research prototypes of visitor’s guides have started supporting such interaction through textual communication services embedded in them. However, these applications have so far been developed separately in an ad-hoc manner, despite common features and infrastructures they share. The research described here generalizes communication services offered by different visitor’s guides and suggests a systematic and generic framework for developing context-aware communication services for visitor’s guides. The specific communication services are abstracted into a domain model, later used in practice for adapting and tailoring the different concepts to the specific requirements of the applications. The framework is demonstrated in the specific setting of a multi-agent museum visitor’s guide system. We also show that the suggested framework is not limited to the specific museum visitor’s guide system but may facilitate the development of context-aware communication applications in general.展开更多

Thus, how to effectively utilize context information to improve the accuracy of recommendation becomes the research focus in the field. This article puts forward a novel approach to realize the context-aware recommendation in mobile environments. It first gets users’ interest resonance with a hash-based interest resonance mining algorithm. Then, it calculates the association degree between the user and the item and then predicts the user’s rating on the item. Finally, it comprehensively figures out the recommending index. Moreover, this article also designs a personal recommendation model for the users and provides relevant decision-making coefficients. Experiments have demonstrated that our approach is superior to the traditional ones （RMP, RSTE, MD and BBBs） in both performance and efficiency.展开更多

This article puts forward a novel approach to realize the context-aware recommendation in mobile environments. It first gets users’ interest resonance with a hash-based interest resonance mining algorithm. Then, it calculates the association degree between the user and the item and then predicts the user’s rating on the item. Finally, it comprehensively figures out the recommending index. Moreover, this article also designs a personal recommendation model for the users and provides relevant decision-making coefficients. Experiments have demonstrated that our approach is superior to the traditional ones （RMP, RSTE, MD and BBBs） in both performance and efficiency.
