Microservice system based on container cloud by Di YANG

“…Lack of the procedure of deploying containerized services in microservice systems,the continuous delivery only put executable codes or programs to the production environment.There is no solution for problems of the test version and configuration updates.The microservice system based on container cloud was proposed.Continuous integration for containerized services and the method that supports debugging tests for multi-version of multi-services were designed.Goals of non-stop production and seamless switch between versions were achieved.These services were monitored and managed by an operation and maintenance platform.After production environment verification,the proposed system supports services running without stop and immediate response and satisfies the needs of production.…”

Privacy preserving approach based on proximity privacy for numerical sensitive attributes by Jing XIE, Jian-pei ZHANG, Jing YANG, Bing ZHANG

“…A model based on proximity breach for numerical sensitive attributes is proposed.At first，it divides numerical sensitive value into several intervals on the premise of protecting the internal relations between quasi-identifier attributes and numerical sensitive attributes.Secondly，it proposes a (k，ε)-proximity privacy preserving principle to defense proximity privacy.In the end，a maximal neighborhood first algorithm (MNF) is designed to realize the (k，ε)-proximity.The experiment results show that the proposed model can preserve privacy of sensitive data well meanwhile it can also keep a high data utility and protect the internal relations.…”

Adaptive Neural Network-Based Satellite Attitude Control by Using the Dynamic Inversion Technique and a VSCMG Pyramidal Cluster by Mihai Lungu, Romulus Lungu

“…Starting from the dynamic model of the pyramidal cluster, an adaptive control law is designed by means of the dynamic inversion method and a feed-forward neural network-based nonlinear subsystem; the control law has a proportional-integrator component (for the control of the reduced-order linear subsystem) and an adaptive component (for the compensation of the approximation error associated with the function describing the dynamics of the nonlinear system). …”
