Security of outsourced data is crucial for businesses. To protect and secure outsourced database, as a part of dynamic web resource while maintaining site’s work, we propose a solution featuring following key ideas. Firstly, we suggest to encrypt database content granularly with order preserving and homomorphic encryptions in order to conduct operation inside unmodified DBMS. Secondly, proposed...

Project management has been consolidated into organizations due to its high added value, allowing that project results are delivered on time, budget, scope and quality. This is specially important for ICT projects, for which innovation is usually present. For such, the correct resource allocation, and effective management require application of project management techniques and tools. In this s...

Energy consumption is a critical factor in wireless sensor networks, especially for nodes running on battery power. The “Occupancy Measurement, Modeling and Prediction for Energy Efficient Buildings” [1] project developed at the ANDES lab at UC Merced uses Imote2 platforms combined with the IMB 400 sensor board to record movement of people in buildings and predict the room occupancy. The IMB 40...

We propose a novel method for performing point-feature correspondence based on a modal shape description. Introducing shape information into a low-level matching process allows our algorithm to cope easily with rotations and translations in the image plane, yet still give a dense correspondence. We also show positive results for scale changes and small skews, and demonstrate how reflectional sy...

The chapter investigates expressions for dying in five European languages with an onomasiological approach. The data was collected from questionnaires, dictionaries, web resources and literature, both fiction and non-fiction. The results indicate that expressions for dying show great similarities across the languages. Expressions involve verbs with high agentivity. A location (where one will be...

We characterize the family of efficient, consistent, and strategy-proof rules in house allocation problems. These rules follow an endowment inheritance and trade procedure as in Pápai’s Hierarchical Exchange rules [Pápai, S., 2000. Strategy-proof assignment by hierarchical exchange, Econometrica 68, 1403-1433] and closely resemble Ergin’s Priority Rules [Ergin, H., 2002. Efficient resource allo...

Resource constrained project scheduling problem is one of the most important issues in project planning and management. The objective function of this problem is to minimize the completion time of a project. When there is budget constraint or high risk for investment, using the criteria such as cash flows is so important. The development of computer systems and processors makes it possible to t...
