A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) has no fixed infrastructure, and is generally composed of a dynamic set of cooperative peers. These peers share their wireless transmission power with other peers so that indirect communication can be possible between nodes that are not in the radio range of each other . The nature of MANETs, such as node mobility, unreliable transmission medium and restricted battery power, makes them extremely vulnerable to a variety of node misb...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Due to lack of pre-deployed infrastructure, nodes in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are required to relay data packets for other nodes to enable multi-hop communication between nodes that are not in radio range with each other. However, whether for selfish or malicious purposes, a node may refuse to cooperate during the network operations or even attempt to interrupt them, both of which are recognized as misbehaviors. In this talk, a holistic framework is presented to cope with these node mi...]]></description>

To support rich semantic analysis of text, traditional natural language processing tools require access to a cache of static knowledge with both broad coverage and deep meaning.  Acquiring this knowledge by hand is so expensive and error-prone, it has been dubbed the "knowledge acquisition bottleneck".  In this work, we present a method for reducing the impact of this bottleneck by automating the knowledge acquisition task using the novel approach of bootstrappin...]]></description>

Knowledge transfer from previously learned tasks to a new task is a fundamental component of human learning. Recent work has shown that knowledge transfer can also improve machine learning, enabling more rapid learning or higher levels of performance.  Transfer allows learning algorithms to reuse knowledge from a set of previously learned source tasks to improve learning on new target tasks. Proper selection of the source knowledge to transfer to a given target task is...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Schema induction involves creating a graph representation depicting how events unfold in a scenario. We present SAGEViz, an intuitive and modular tool that utilizes human-AI collaboration to create and update complex schema graphs efficiently, where multiple annotators (humans and models) can work simultaneously on a schema graph from any domain. The tool consists of two components: (1) a curation component powered by plug-and-play event language models to create and expand event sequences wh...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Storytelling and the delivery of societal narratives enable human beings to communicate, connect, and understand one another and the world around them. Narratives can be defined as spoken, visual, or written accounts of interconnected events and actors, generally evolving through some notion of time. Today, information is typically conveyed over online communication mediums, such as social media and blogging websites. Consequently, the act of narrative delivery itself has shifted from simply ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This artifact abstract is a guideline for SmartSPEC, a simulator for generating customizable smart space datasets using semantic models of spaces, people, events, and sensors.  SmartSPEC is based on two main components: (i) Scenario Learning which produces metamodels of events and people using input seed data; and (ii) Scenario Generation, which uses SmartSPEC data to generate a realistic smart space dataset.  SmartSPEC provides three modes of operation to generate]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Detecting anomalies and attacks in smart cyber-physical systems are of paramount importance owing to their growing prominence in controlling critical systems. However, this is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity and variety of components of a CPS, and the complex relationships between sensed values and potential attacks or anomalies. Such complex relationships are results of physical constraints and domain norms which exist in many CPS domains. In this paper, we propose ABATe, an Auto...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Human storytelling has existed for as far back as we can trace, and is thought to be fundamental to being human. Stories help share ideas, histories, and common ground. This workshop examines what storytelling is, its structure and components, and how it is expressed, with respect to state of the art in language and computation.  Part of grounding artificial intelligence work in human experience can involve the generation, understanding, and sharing of stories. This workshop highlights the di...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[To detect energy theft attacks in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), we propose a detection method based on principal component analysis (PCA) approximation. PCA approximation is introduced by dimensionality reduction of high dimensional AMI data and the authors extract the underlying consumption trends of a consumer that repeat on a daily or weekly basis. AMI data is reconstructed using principal components and used for computing relative entropy. In the proposed method, relative entrop...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), one of the prime components of the smart grid, has many benefits like demand response and load management. Electricity theft, a key concern in AMI security since smart meters used in AMI are vulnerable to cyber attacks, causes millions of dollar in financial losses to utilities every year. In light of this problem, the authors propose an entropy-based electricity theft detection scheme to detect electricity theft by tracking the dynamics of consumption ...]]></description>

Traditional models of software development are very time consuming and labor intensive for the cloud computing domain, where software (and other) services are acquired on demand. Virtualized services are often composed of pre-existing components that are assembled on an as-needed basis. We have developed a new framework to automate the acquisition, composition and consumption/ monitoring of virtualized services de...]]></description>
