Energy efficient privacy preserved data gathering in wireless sensor networks having multiple sinks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) generally have a many-to-one structure so that event information flows from sensors to a unique sink. In recent WSN applications, many-tomany structures are evolved due to need for conveying collected event information to multiple sinks at the same time. This study proposes an anonymity method bases on k-anonymity for preventing record disclosure of collected event information in WSNs. Proposed method takes the anonymity requirements of multiple sinks into consideration by providing different levels of privacy for each destination sink. Attributes, which may identify of an event owner, are generalized or encrypted in order to
meet the different anonymity requirements of sinks. Privacy guaranteed event information can be multicasted to all sinks instead of sending to each sink one by one. Since minimization of energy consumption is an important design criteria for WSNs, our method enables us to multicast the same event information
to multiple sinks and reduce energy consumption
Graphs, Matrices, and the GraphBLAS: Seven Good Reasons
The analysis of graphs has become increasingly important to a wide range of
applications. Graph analysis presents a number of unique challenges in the
areas of (1) software complexity, (2) data complexity, (3) security, (4)
mathematical complexity, (5) theoretical analysis, (6) serial performance, and
(7) parallel performance. Implementing graph algorithms using matrix-based
approaches provides a number of promising solutions to these challenges. The
GraphBLAS standard (istc- bigdata.org/GraphBlas) is being developed to bring
the potential of matrix based graph algorithms to the broadest possible
audience. The GraphBLAS mathematically defines a core set of matrix-based graph
operations that can be used to implement a wide class of graph algorithms in a
wide range of programming environments. This paper provides an introduction to
the GraphBLAS and describes how the GraphBLAS can be used to address many of
the challenges associated with analysis of graphs.Comment: 10 pages; International Conference on Computational Science workshop
