In the past couple of years we have witnessed an increased interest among governments around the world to release raw data to their citizens. This interest was augmented by converting the raw data into semantic representation to insure that the data can be shared and reused across applications. In this paper we present our attempt to convert Saudi Open Government Data (OGD) into Resource Description Framework (RDF) format by reusing existing ontologies. The advantage of performing such a process is twofold: (1) contribute to the vision of the semantic web and linked open data initiative and (2) enable data exchange and linking with other semantic resources.

Due to the recent development of the Internet, broadcast and communication integrated video-on-demand services have attracted great attention. Playback interruptions occur during playing videos when the Internet bandwidth is insufficient for the video delivery. Hence, various methods to reduce the interruption time have been proposed. However, they do not consider the psychological interruption time which changes according to the attention to interruptions or the concentration to video playbacks. Therefore, the users' motivations for playing videos can be depressed largely in the existing methods. In this paper, we discuss an interruption control for video-on-demand systems. Also, we extended previous methods to control interruptions and evaluated their performances for interruptions.

We propose a method to identify persons using home electric appliances with accelerometer. Proposing method improves the accuracy of the power management system in the home, such as HEMS (Home Energy Management System) and EoD (Energy on Demand). We aim to detect the timing of using appliances before using them, and to identify who use them with acceleration sensor. Detecting the timing of using appliances makes it possible to prevent accidents caused by high electric current (for example breaker falls) before the accidents occur. Furthermore, identifying who use the appliances make it easy to plan the power consumption, because there are large difference among the operating time of appliances.

The demand of low cost large scale storages increases. Recently, several low throughput storage services such as Pogo plug Cloud have been developed. These services are based on Amazon Glacier. They have low throughput but low cost and large capacity. Therefore, these services are suited to backup or archive big data. They can be used instead of off-line storage tier. The low throughput storage does not have only low throughput but also low reliability of communication path. So, it needs efficient re-transferring mechanism. We proposed a split file model that can represent big data efficiently in low throughput storage. In this split file model, a large file is divided into many small parts and they are stored into a directory. We have developed tool commands to support the transparent way of using split files. Using these commands, replicated data is naturally excluded and effective shallow copying is supported. Furthermore, in this paper, we propose the split file mode based 3 tiers storage.

Commercial products using hardware and firmware for high-speed network flow tracking are commonplace but typically restrict users to a few predefined options. Conversely, ensemble architectures with multiple network processing units (NPUs) and specialized accelerators are flexible enough for many tasks but relatively slow at routine flow management tasks. The paper presents a system that combines a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-driven table system with an ensemble network architecture. The system is especially effective when the FPGA system tracks flows and sends only selected packets to NPUs for further processing. The principal design goal is to achieve FPGA-level speed when processing tables for flows, actions, packet modification, key search and hash extraction and yet to allow users to initialize and dynamically modify the tables in terms of flexible, high-level packetC language types and structures.

Recently, energy harvesting from ambient energy sources, including solar and vibrational energy, has been investigated as a candidate for powering next-generation wireless sensor networks. However, unlike a battery-powered network, power supplementation of energy harvesting is unstable. Therefore, when a node sends data, the relay nodes are not always available for receiving or transmitting. A node with a high transmission frequency may spend much longer in the energy charging state due to the rapid exhaustion of energy, which results in much more data loss. In order to address this problem, the Relay Traffic-based Transmission Power Control (RT-TPC) transmission power control algorithm has been proposed. However, the algorithm does not consider the power generation pattern of each sensor node. In the present paper, we propose a routing protocol based on the power generation pattern of the sensor node. In the proposed protocol, each sensor node sends its power generation pattern to backward relay nodes at constant intervals. Then, the nodes which are presumed to be unavailable based on the pattern information are excluded as relay node candidates, and a higher delivery ratio can be achieved. A performance evaluation reveals that the proposed protocols can achieve a higher delivery ratio than the standard RT-TPC algorithm.

In order to utilize computer resources efficiently, technologies have been developed to enable running multiple OSes on a single computer. In our study, we developed the Mint operating system, which enables running multiple Linux instances on a multi-core processor. Mint is different from traditional virtualization technologies in that Mint can achieve performance isolation between Linux instances by segmenting computer resources. Currently, Mint statically segments and assigns its physical memory to each Linux instance. By transferring physical memory ranges among the Linux instances depending on their physical memory utilization, Mint can adapt to the load variations. In this paper, we describe the requirements for segmentation and transfer of physical memory and provide a solution.

The purpose of this study is to stimulate communication among the elderly population of Japan (where more than 21% of the population is aged 65 years and above) and to find ways to use their knowledge and labor skills with the aid of information and communications technology. Toward this end, we launched a joint research project called "Senior Cloud" in which we developed a prototype of a social TV system for the elderly. The first phase of the research project included a three-month field trial using the system in a local senior community. In this paper, we analyze the system log (posting and operational data) and the responses to questionnaires administered to obtain user impressions. These data reveal certain characteristics of communication among the elderly and methods that can stimulate it.
