Secure and Private Service Discovery in Pervasive Computing Environments

With the convergence of embedded computers and wireless communication, pervasive computing has become the inevitable future of computing. Every year, billions of computing devices are built. They are ubiquitously deployed and are gracefully integrated with people and their environments. Service discovery is an essential step for the devices to properly discover, configure, and communicate with each other. Authentication for pervasive service discovery is difficult. In this chapter, we introduce a user-centric service discovery model, called PrudentExposure, which automates authentication processes. It encodes hundreds of authentication messages in a novel code word form. Perhaps the most serious challenge for pervasive service discovery is the integration of computing devices with people. A critical privacy challenge can be expressed as a “chicken-andegg problem”: both users and service providers want the other parties to expose sensitive information first. We discuss how a progressive and probabilistic model can protect both users’ and service providers’ privacy.

HHMM Based Recognition of Human Activity

In this paper, we present a method for recognition of human activity as a series of actions from an image sequence. The difficulty with the problem is that there is a chicken-egg dilemma that each action needs to be extracted in advance for its recognition but the precise extraction is only possible after the action is correctly identified. In order to solve this dilemma, we use as many models as actions of our interest, and test each model against a given sequence to find a matched model for each action occurring in the sequence. For each action, a model is designed so as to represent any activity containing the action. The hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) is employed to represent the models, in which each model is composed of a submodel of the target action and submodels which can represent any action, and they are connected appropriately. Several experimental results are shown.

Theory and practice: the chicken andthe egg

When discussing connections between the theoretical andthe practical in social work, we find ourselves routinely deployingthe conventional phrase underpinning theory. This phrase suggeststhat theory provides a solid substrate or a set of well-laid foundationsupon which the edifice of hands-on intervention can be constructed.This paper argues that the relationship between practice debateand theoretical conceptualisations in the sphere of social workis rather more complicated than this. In particular, it considershow solid the foundation provided by theory really is and whetherit may be more appropriate in some cases to talk about theory andits underpinning practice. Drawing on work in the field of youth justice and childwelfare, the notion of paradigm shift and the complex inter-relationbetween paradigm formation and changing practice are explored. Inparticular, consideration is given to radical shifts in the modelswhich social workers in the United Kingdom have been enjoined toapply to young offenders and to young people abused through prostitution.Attention is paid to the origins of these models and to their implicationsin practice.
