Next Generation Networks (NGN) is the evolution of the telecommunication core. The user has to execute multi-pass Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) procedures in order to get access to the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). This causes overhead on the AAA server and increases the delay of authenticating the user and that is because of unnecessary and repeated procedures and protocols. This pap...

This abstract describes a real-time score follower that we submitted to MIREX 2010 “Real-time Audio to Score Alignment (aka. Score Following)” task.

We describe four ontology translation approaches that can be used to exchange ontologies between ontology tools and/or ontology languages. These approaches are analysed with regard to two main features: how they preserve the ontology semantics after the translation process (aka semantic or consequence preservation) and how they allow final users and ontology-based applications to understand the...

We report 3 patients with alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA). All had a history of excessive intake and abrupt termination of alcohol. They showed tachypnea, tachycardia, abdominal tenderness, and epigastralgia. Metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap, decreased PaCO2 and ketonemia were present. One patient whose ratio of 3-hydroxybutyric acid to acetoacetic acid was 4.0 was associated with di...

In this paper, we address the Authenticated Key Agreement(AKA) between actor and sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN). We propose DoS-resilient AKA scheme between Actor and Sensor nodes in WSAN. The proposed scheme utilizes the IDbased cyrptosystem to reduce a need to transmit public-key certificates. The proposed scheme is resilient against the Denial of Service (DoS) attac...
