| 2025 | vtism: Efficient Tiered Memory Management for Virtual Machines with CXLabstractVirtual machines (VMs) impose increasing memory demands, exposing the capacity and cost limitations of traditional DRAM only memory architectures. To address this problem, heterogeneous DRAM+CXL tiered memory management systems have emerged as a promising solution. However, in virtualization environments, the semantic gap between guest and host abstraction layers, coupled with dynamic workload behaviors, hinders precise page tracking, classification, and efficient page migration across memory tiers.

| 2025 | PRISE: Privacy-pReserving Image Searchable Encryption Scheme for Intelligent Vehicle SystemsabstractWith the continuous advancement of intelligent vehicle technology, the image data generated by vehicles has become increasingly critical in various applications, including driver assistance, traffic monitoring, and safety warning systems. However, this growing reliance on image data also raises pressing concerns regarding its security and privacy protection. Searchable encryption technology, as an effective means to protect data security, shows significant potential for application in the field of intelligent vehicles. In this paper, we propose a novel Privacy-pReserving Image Searchable Encryption Scheme (PRISE) to address the security and privacy challenges associated with image data in intelligent vehicles. The PRISE scheme employs Multilinear Principal Component Analysis (MPCA) to extract data features and integrates symmetric encryption and matrix encryption techniques to ensure image privacy protection. To enhance search efficiency, we utilize a Mahalanobis distance-based fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering method, which accelerates the search process on the cloud server. We conducted comprehensive experiments to evaluate our proposed scheme, and the results were consistent with our analytical findings, confirming the security of our approach. Comparative experiments with existing schemes demonstrated that our proposed method achieves higher accuracy while maintaining a comparable query time. Xuemei Fu, Laurence T.

| 2025 | Tensor-Based Factorial Hidden Markov Model for Cyber-Physical-Social ServicesabstractWith the rapid development and widespread application of information, computer, and communication technologies, Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS) have gained increasing importance and attention. To enable intelligent applications and provide better services for CPSS users, efficient data analytical models are crucial. This paper presents a novel data analytic framework for CPSS services. First, a Tensor-Based Factorial Hidden Markov Model (T-FHMM) is introduced to comprehensively analyze multi-user activity features, enhancing CPSS activity analytics. A tensor-based Forward-Backward algorithm is then designed for T-FHMM to efficiently perform evaluation tasks using multiple probabilistic computing micro-services. Additionally, a tensor-based Baum-Welch algorithm is developed to accurately learn model parameters via parameter optimization micro-services. Furthermore, a tensor-based Viterbi algorithm is implemented with specific micro-services to improve prediction tasks. Finally, the comprehensive performance of the proposed model and algorithms is validated on three open datasets through self-comparison and other-comparison. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms compared methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Zhixing Lu, Laurence T.

| 2025 | Tensor-Based Hidden Semi-Markov Model for CPSS User Activity Analysis and ServicesabstractCyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSSs) represent a transformative paradigm that integrates human, machine, and environmental interactions to support intelligent services in smart spaces. However, providing accurate and efficient user activity analysis in such environments remains challenging due to the complex, high-dimensional, and noisy nature of sensory data. Although existing tensor-based models have shown promising accuracy in user activity analysis, they often suffer from low efficiency and reduced robustness to data noise, limiting their practicality in real-time applications. To address these challenges, this study proposes a Tensor-based Hidden Semi-Markov Model (T-HSMM) designed to efficiently analyze user activity durations and their dependencies using probabilistic distributions in tensor space. The main objective is to reduce redundant tensor computations while enhancing both the accuracy and robustness of activity analysis. Moreover, to effectively address the three basic micro-services in CPSSs—evaluation, learning, and prediction—we develop tensor-based algorithms, including the Forward-Backward, Baum-Welch, and Viterbi algorithms, for the proposed T-HSMM. These algorithms facilitate three computational subtasks of activity sequence probabilities, model parameter learning, and activity prediction. We evaluated the performance of the proposed model on three widely used open datasets. The results show that T-HSMM surpasses other models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score while maintaining acceptable time consumption. Additionally, we discuss the impact of varying parameters on the model's performance across different daily activities. Zhixing Lu, Laurence T. Yang, Azreen Azman, Shunli Zhang 0003, Xuemei Fu |

| 2023 | Tensor-Based Baum-Welch Algorithms in Coupled Hidden Markov Model for Responsible Activity PredictionabstractThe development and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have brought unprecedented opportunities to humans, but also brought many challenges and concerns such as unfairness, immorality, distrust, illegality, and discrimination. Responsible AI provides a new solution to effectively address these AI potential threats by integrating social/physical rules into AI systems. However, these rules are high-level regulations and ethical principles, which are difficult to be formalized. To this end, we attempt to use the data generated in various AI systems such as cyber–physical–social systems (CPSS) to discover and reflect these rules to provide more responsible services for humans. In this article, we first propose a data-driven responsible CPSS framework. Its core idea is to mine valuable rules through perception, fusion, processing, and analysis of CPSS data, and then use these rules to adaptively optimize CPSS. Based on this framework, three tensor-based couple hidden Markov models (T-CHMMs) are constructed to integrate three responsible features (i.e., timing, periodicity, and correlation) for mining potential and valuable rules. Then, the corresponding tensor-based Baum–Welch (TBW) algorithms are designed to solve their learning problems. Finally, the predictive accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed models and algorithms are verified on three open datasets. The experimental results show that proposed methods have the best performances for various scenarios, which reflects that our methods are more promising and responsible than existing methods.

| 2023 | Privacy and Accuracy for Cloud-Fog-Edge Collaborative Driver-Vehicle-Road Relation GraphsabstractThere are three key roles in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): driver, vehicle and road. However, existing static interactions among Driver-Vehicle-Road (DVR) are too passive to reflect the change of driver preferences, vehicle conditions, road conditions, etc. Therefore, we provide a data-driven Cloud-Fog-Edge Collaborative Driver-Vehicle-Road (CFEC-DVR) framework. The framework could self-adaptively evolves through continuous iteration to provide better ITS services for humans. The collaboration among DVR creates a lot of relation data that construct our relation graphs. Cloud brings some privacy risks. Relation graphs have great analytic value. As DVR collaboration, privacy quality and analytic accuracy are three key issues in the framework, we propose a Relation Graph Privacy-Preserving scheme with High Accuracy in our framework, which is named as RGPP-HA. Based on machine learning, our method nearly maximizes the difficulty for attackers to know exactly how many other roles are connected to the attacked role, which enhances the privacy quality. Meanwhile, we find as much valuable information as possible from roles’ encrypted relations for more accurately analytic performance. Based on the experiments, we compare the proposed scheme RGPP-HA with existing classic and relevant schemes. The experimental results show that our scheme has the best privacy quality and analytic accuracy. This further verifies the feasibility of CFEC-DVR framework. Zongmin Cui, Zhixing Lu, Laurence T.
