Abstract: This study proposes innovative multi-tenant remote monitoring platform architecture based on cloud with an injection machine manufacturer as cloud data center. This study was designed to develop machine connection mechanism and monitoring module, etc. with machine manufacturers. Under the architecture of this study, machine manufacturers can provide virtualization technology based remote monitoring systems for manufacturing buyers to rapidly develop custom monitoring software. All data storage devices such as servers are provided by the machine manufacturer, and the client side can effectively manage injection machine data by simply renting virtual machine space.

Abstract: For the advances of Cloud Computing technologies in recent years, cloud applications have been popularity for their rich set of features. The advantages of cloud applications include that users can utilize them in a low cost-, threshold-, and risk-way; these applications can be quickly deployed on the clouds without duplication of work. Therefore, their practical use on business with promising values can be expected. As such, cloud applications are recognized as a trend for the next generation of business applications, and hence how to migrate these on-premise applications to the clouds becomes a desired field in the literature. For this need, we present a migration method that addresses the cloud features and the migration of on-premise applications into the clouds.

Abstract: In this paper, a new watermarking algorithm to realize synchronous transmission of Gong-Che Notation musical score image and its MIDI information was been present. Firstly, it transforms the MIDI information to a sequence of 0 1 codes which is the watermarking data, then it embeds the watermarking data into the Gong-Che Notation musical score image by clockwise inward rotating order, finally, it judges whether the Gong-Che Notation musical score image need expand to avoid loss musical information by computing number of connected component labeling. Experiments shows that the expanded times are no more than Len(M(2))/(2H*W).

Abstract: Production information collection is an important issue for manufacturing. Therefore, the data transmission techniques for manufacturing equipment are hot spots for researchers nowadays. Traditional equipment data transmissions are based on Ethernet, which encountered issues such as high maintenance cost and unreal-time data transmission. A wireless data acquisition infrastructure for manufacturing equipment based on Wi-Fi is designed for ensuring the data transmission quality in factories.

Abstract: The set-top box (STB) connected to TVs are used to gather viewing data, which then is transmitted to a backend platform. It is very hard to analyze the viewing behavior since the viewing data are very huge and contain noise. This paper presents a real-time interactive-TV rating system for monitoring the trend of user viewing behavior. The system collects viewing behavior data from CATV system vendors, analyzes the data, and then provides real-time analysis diagrams. The authors also proposed two phases filtering algorithm that can efficiently check and filter the invalid viewing behavior according to the effective data filter rules. The algorithm can daily filter 27 million viewing behavior data and generate 7.6 million effective data. It can reduce the need of storage space and increase the analysis speed. In this works, we develop a real-time interactive-TV rating system for monitoring the trend of user viewing behavior and provide the real-time ratings for the last three minutes watched.

Abstract: This paper proposes a storage-independent model for SPARQL-to-SQL translation algorithm based on relational view. During the development of Web ontology researches, the study for translation from SPARQL to SQL still remain issue. Previous researches focus on efficient and complete translation from SPARQL queries into equivalent SQL queries. However, these translation algorithms depend on specific structure of storages. When we modify the structure of storage, the translation algorithm also should be modified suitable changed structure of storage. This motivates us to study the issue of a model for independent use upon storage structures of an algorithm, which can then be guaranteed independency between translation algorithms and storages by generating relational view, and it improves application and usability of a translation algorithm. In addition, this paper show experiment result about accuracy and no data loss rate of query results on several storages.

Abstract: This study adopts usability evaluation method for evaluating the user's acceptance of a Cloud Computing based context-aware Personal Healthcare Records (PHR). The system features include basic phys-iological measurement, life style management, etc. It exploits the so called “polling scheme for Bluetooth” and multi-device automatically reading physiological measurements to achieve the efficacy of context-aware. Moreover, the entire personal health records can be transmitted synchronously into a Cloud system in real time. To evaluate the usability, we conduct an experimental test on the prototype system. We recruit 100 par-ticipants for the evaluation. The study results show that the participants have high rating of positive response to the system usability. Keywords: health care, personal health records, context-aware, cloud-computing, usability .

Abstract: The main rivers in Taiwan present numerous distinct features, such as narrow catchment areas, short main flow paths, fast-flowing rapids, and steep slopes. In Taiwan, typhoon season in summer and fall is the period during which torrential rainfall frequently occurs. Large amounts of rainfall in short periods increase the likelihood of disasters, such as hillside collapses, landslides, and floods. By using a computer simulation to visually present landslide disasters, disaster evacuation can be facilitated and casualties can be reduced. In the present study, we compiled the causes of hillside landslides by employing a remote helicopter equipped with a camera to capture images of landslide-prone rivers and hillsides. ReCap computation was adopted to establish 3D river and hillside models for mesh optimization, which were then imported into the Unity software. Finally, by referencing slope and geographical data, and considering various landside factors such as cause, scale, flow direction, flow speed, and damage, model disaster scenarios were created to perform simulations. The results were uploaded to Web-and mobile-based platforms, providing a reference for assisting the general public in implementing preventive measures, thereby reducing the occurrence of disaster incidents.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose an anonymous NFC-based payment protocol (ANP) using NFC phones in a mobile payment framework. Our protocol is compatible with EMV standards, and can be integrated into an NFC-enabled mobile device serving as a virtual credit card. Each role in the framework can only gather partial user information. Our protocol achieves anonymity, in which only the bank knows a user’s real identity. TSM and the merchants are unable to break the anonymity. In a transaction, none can build up full relationship between a user’s identity and his account, his card information or transaction records.

Abstract: This paper adopts a two-mode intersection graph-based routing protocol to support efficient packet forwarding for both dense and sparse vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET). We first create an intersection graph (IG) consisting of all connected road segments, which densities are high enough. Hence, the source vehicle leverages the proposed IG/IG bypass mode to greedily forward unicast packets to the boundary intersection via the least cost path of current IG. We then perform the IG-Ferry mode to spray a limited number of packet copies via relay vehicles to reach the boundary intersection of another IG where the destination vehicle resides. NS2 simulations are conducted to show that the two-mode IG/IG-Ferry outperforms well-known VANET routing protocols, in terms of average packet delivery ratios and end-to-end transmission delays.
