This paper investigates the employment of photoplethysmography (PPG) for user authentication systems. Time-stable and user-specific features are developed by stretching the signal, designing a convolutional neural network and performing a variation-stable approach with three score fusions. Two evaluation scenarios are explored, namely single-session and twosessions. In the earlier, the training and testing are done solely on one session data to find the user-specific features, while the second scenario is performed on data from two different sessions to test the time permanence of the features. The verification system was tested on four databases achieving an accuracy of 100% for single-session and 87.3% for two-sessions cases. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of proposed variation-stable fusion which can be extended to other biometrics. The code is available in [1].
Real-time embedded systems have increased in complexity. As microprocessors become more powerful, the software complexity of real-time embedded systems has increased steadily. The requirements for increased functionality and adaptability make the development of real-time embedded software complex and errorprone. Component-based design has been widely accepted as a compositional approach to facilitate the design of complex systems. It provides a means for decomposing a complex system into simpler subsystems and composing the subsystems in a hierarchical manner. A system composed of real-time subsystems with hierarchy is called a hierarchical real-time system This paper describes a process algebraic approach to schedulability analysis of hierarchical real-time systems. To facilitate modeling and analyzing hierarchical real-time systems, we conservatively extend an existing process algebraic theory based on ACSR-VP (Algebra of Communicating Shared Resources with ValuePassing) for the schedulability of real-time systems. We explain a method to model a resource model in ACSR-VP which may be partitioned for a subsystem. We also introduce schedulability relation to define the schedulability of hierarchical real-time systems and show that satisfaction checking of the relation is reducible to deadlock checking in ACSR-VP and can be done automatically by the tool support of ERSA (Verification, Execution and Rewrite System for ACSR). With the schedulability relation, we present algorithms for abstracting real-time system workloads.
