Cloud Based Application Development for Accessing Restaurant Information on Mobile Device using LBS
Over the past couple of years, the extent of the services provided on the
mobile devices has increased rapidly. A special class of service among them is
the Location Based Service(LBS) which depends on the geographical position of
the user to provide services to the end users. However, a mobile device is
still resource constrained, and some applications usually demand more resources
than a mobile device can a ord. To alleviate this, a mobile device should get
resources from an external source. One of such sources is cloud computing
platforms. We can predict that the mobile area will take on a boom with the
advent of this new concept. The aim of this paper is to exchange messages
between user and location service provider in mobile device accessing the cloud
by minimizing cost, data storage and processing power. Our main goal is to
provide dynamic location-based service and increase the information retrieve
accuracy especially on the limited mobile screen by accessing cloud
application. In this paper we present location based restaurant information
retrieval system and we have developed our application in Android.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
Formal Verification of Safety Properties for Ownership Authentication Transfer Protocol
In ubiquitous computing devices, users tend to store some valuable
information in their device. Even though the device can be borrowed by the
other user temporarily, it is not safe for any user to borrow or lend the
device as it may cause private data of the user to be public. To safeguard the
user data and also to preserve user privacy we propose and model the technique
of ownership authentication transfer. The user who is willing to sell the
device has to transfer the ownership of the device under sale. Once the device
is sold and the ownership has been transferred, the old owner will not be able
to use that device at any cost. Either of the users will not be able to use the
device if the process of ownership has not been carried out properly. This also
takes care of the scenario when the device has been stolen or lost, avoiding
the impersonation attack. The aim of this paper is to model basic process of
proposed ownership authentication transfer protocol and check its safety
properties by representing it using CSP and model checking approach. For model
checking we have used a symbolic model checker tool called NuSMV. The safety
properties of ownership transfer protocol has been modeled in terms of CTL
specification and it is observed that the system satisfies all the protocol
constraint and is safe to be deployed.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures,Submitted to ADCOM 201
Chromosome fusions triggered by noncoding RNA
Chromosomal fusions are common in normal and cancer cells and can produce aberrant gene products that promote transformation. The mechanisms driving these fusions are poorly understood, but recurrent fusions are widespread. This suggests an underlying mechanism, and some authors have proposed a possible role for RNA in this process. The unicellular eukaryote Oxytricha trifallax displays an exorbitant capacity for natural genome editing, when it rewrites its germline genome to form a somatic epigenome. This developmental process provides a powerful model system to directly test the influence of small noncoding RNAs on chromosome fusion events during somatic differentiation. Here we show that small RNAs are capable of inducing chromosome fusions in four distinct cases (out of four tested), including one fusion of three chromosomes. We further show that these RNA-mediated chromosome fusions are heritable over multiple sexual generations and that transmission of the acquired fusion is associated with endogenous production of novel piRNA molecules that target the fused junction. We also demonstrate the capacity of a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) to induce chromosome fusion of two distal germline loci. These results underscore the ability of short-lived, aberrant RNAs to act as drivers of chromosome fusion events that can be stably transmitted to future generations
