Architecture of SDN Applications Based on Software Defined Price by Bin Zhuge, Baoxia Wang, Yining Wang, Chunming Wu, Minhui Yao

“…Firstly，the concept of SDN applications was proposed from the perspective of users payment for allocating network resources.Secondly，with the comparison between traditional desktop application programming and network programming，the advantage of SDN programming was described.Thirdly，the concept of software defined price （SDP）was introduced.Based on the characteristics of SDN applications，the framework of SDP-based SDN application so as to apply to the OpenDaylight open source project was designed.Finally，an implementation of creating a virtual tenant network based on SDP was showed.The results of experiment present that the users can choose their desired virtual tenant according to the mechanism of SDP.…”

Hyperspectral image classification method based on multi-scale proximal feature concatenate network by Hongmin GAO, Xueying CAO, Zhonghao CHEN, Zaijun HUA, Chenming LI, Yue CHEN

“…Aiming at the phenomenon that the hyperspectral classification algorithm based on traditional CNN model was not expressive enough in detail and the network structure was too complex, a hyperspectral image classification method based on multi-scale proximal feature concatenate network (MPFCN) was designed.By introducing multi-scale filter and cavity convolution, the model could be kept light and the discriminative features of the space spectrum could be obtained, and the correlation between the proximal features of the CNN was proposed to further enhance the detail expression.Experimental results on three benchmark hyperspectral image data sets show that the proposed method is superior to other classification models.…”

ROLLING BEARING FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASED ON UNIFORM DISTANCE LOCAL LINEAR EMBEDDING (MT) by GU Ye, CAI HouDao

“…In view of the shortcoming that the dimensivity reduction effect of local linear embedding（LLE） is greatly affected by the uniformity of sample distribution, the uniform distance is designed to replace the Euclidean distance in LLE, so the uniform distance local linear embedding（UDLLE） method is proposed, and the effectiveness of UDLLE is verified by typical curves. …”

Adaptive Modified Function Projective Lag Synchronization of Memristor-Based Five-Order Chaotic Circuit Systems by Qiaoping Li, Sanyang Liu

“…Based on the LMI approach and Lyapunov stability theorem, an adaptive control law is established to make the states of two different memristor-based five-order chaotic circuit systems asymptotically synchronized up to a desired scaling function matrix, while the parameter controlling strength update law is designed to estimate the parameters well. Finally, the simulation is put forward to demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed methods. …”
