An Exception Handling Approach for Privacy-Preserving Service Recommendation Failure in a Cloud Environment

Abstract

Service recommendation has become an effective way to quickly extract insightful information from massive data. However, in the cloud environment, the quality of service (QoS) data used to make recommendation decisions are often monitored by distributed sensors and stored in different cloud platforms. In this situation, integrating these distributed data (monitored by remote sensors) across different platforms while guaranteeing user privacy is an important but challenging task, for the successful service recommendation in the cloud environment. Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is a promising way to achieve the abovementioned data integration and privacy-preservation goals, while current LSH-based recommendation studies seldom consider the possible recommendation failures and hence reduce the robustness of recommender systems significantly. In view of this challenge, we develop a new LSH variant, named converse LSH, and then suggest an exception handling approach for recommendation failures based on the converse LSH technique. Finally, we conduct several simulated experiments based on the well-known dataset, i.e., Movielens to prove the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.

LCBPA: two-stage task allocation algorithm for high-dimension data collecting in mobile crowd sensing network

“…Recently, a lot of efforts have been focused on task allocation [15][16][17] and generally can be divided into two categories: rule-based task allocation method [18][19][20] and map-based task allocation method [21][22][23][24]. The rule-based task allocation mainly allocates task according to each node's sensing capability, such as position and power of perception.…”

High-accuracy localization for indoor group users based on extended Kalman filter

“…The literature 29 proposed and implemented the ArrayTrack system. 30,31 It uses MIMO technology to track wireless customers in real time and combines FPGA and general calculation methods. The results show that the location of smaller errors can be obtained.…”

Physical layer identification of LoRa devices using constellation trace figure

“…Due to the large number of IoT terminals and complex application environments, the security protection capability is weak, which brings threats to the entire IoT system. Once IoT is under attack, it may cause shutdown of factories, disorder of society and even the safety of human life [9,10]. Attacks against IoT have already emerged and their scope and impact have increased year by year.…”
