Cross-domain task offloading and computing resource allocation for edge computation in industrial Internet of things by Peng ZHOU, Jincheng XU, Bo YANG

“…In the industrial Internet of things,limited by the computing capacity of field devices,the task offloading based on edge computing can effectively alleviate the computing burden of field devices and provide low-latency computing services.Moreover,because the load of edge servers are different in different areas of the network,it is necessary to reasonably arrange task offloading and allocate computing resources of edge servers,thereby reducing task completion delay and achieving load balance.Thus,the task offloading and resource allocation for edge computing in the industrial Internet of things was studied,a cross-domain offloading model for computing tasks in the industrial Internet of things was proposed,and a mixed integer nonlinear optimization problem that minimizes task completion time was formulated.The problem was decomposed it into two sub-problems of resource allocation and task offloading,based on the characteristics of the two sub-problems,the optimal solution of resource allocation and task offloading strategy were obtained through iterative and alternating solution.The experimental results show that compared with the non-cross-domain strategy,the load imbalance of the edge server and the task completion delay are reduced effectively by the proposed strategy.…”

Shuffled differential privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication by Weijin JIANG, Yilin CHEN, Yuqing HAN, Yuting WU, Wei ZHOU, Haijuan WANG

“…Aiming at the current problem of insufficient security in clustering data collection and publication, in order to protect user privacy and improve data quality in clustering data, a privacy protection method for K-Modes clustering data collection and publication was proposed without trusted third parties based on the shuffled differential privacy model.K-Modes clustering data collection algorithm was used to sample the user data and add noise, and then the initial order of the sampled data was disturbed by filling in the value domain random arrangement publishing algorithm.The malicious attacker couldn’t identify the target user according to the relationship between the user and the data, and then to reduce the interference of noise as much as possible a new centroid was calculated by cyclic iteration to complete the clustering.Finally, the privacy, feasibility and complexity of the above three methods were analyzed from the theoretical level, and the accuracy and entropy of the three real data sets were compared with the authoritative similar algorithms KM, DPLM and LDPKM in recent years to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.The experimental results show that the privacy protection and data quality of the proposed method are superior to the current similar algorithms.…”

Reading the Colours of Victorian Interiors: The Poetic Home Revisited by Charlotte Ribeyrol

“…Surprisingly, this ‘colour revolution’ has only rarely been approached from the perspective of interior decoration despite the fact that from the 1860s an increasing number of periodicals and popular handbooks offered guidance on how to make one’s home ‘poetic’ thanks to the right colour arrangements. In this article I analyse a selection of these ‘colour grammars’ which aimed to channel and control the chromatic ‘chaos’ of modernity, before discussing a unique instance of a well-preserved and poetically colourful interior: the architect William Burges’s Tower House in London.…”
