Dynamic Behavior Analysis and Robust Synchronization of a Novel Fractional-Order Chaotic System with Multiwing Attractors by Chenhui Wang

“…To enrich the types of multiwing chaotic attractors in fractional-order chaotic systems (FOCSs), a new type of 3-dimensional FOCSs is designed in this study. The most important contribution of this FOCS consists in the coexistence of multiple multiwing chaotic attractors, including 2-wing, 3-wing, and 4-wing attractors. …”

Evaluating model and simulation analyzing for P2P Churn by YANG Dong, DONG Ping, ZHANG Hong-ke

“…Most P2P algorithms based on distributed Hash table（DHT） faced Churn,which was caused by the continuous process of node joining and failure.A Churn evaluating model was proposed and its formulized description,which could give some important instructions for analyzing current P2P algorithms and designing new algorithms.Using this model,a simulation including three P2P algorithm Chord,Kelips,and Tapestry was done.The experiment results show the capability of these algorithms under Churn,the advantage of Chord than others,and the most important factor affecting Churn.…”

Denoising and reconstruction of evaporation duct based on quadratic optimal threshold approximation message passing method by Guosheng RUI, Ge LIU, Wenbiao TIAN, Daoguang DONG, Yanan ZHANG

“…To solve the problem that the mixed noise of compressed sensing observation stage had adverse effects on the high-precision reconstruction in the time-space situation awareness process of evaporative duct,an approximate message passing method based on quadratic optimal threshold was proposed.A quadratic stabilization threshold function which integrated advantages of soft and hard threshold functions was designed,and the optimal threshold setting policy was added to the iterative process based on conjugate gradient method to speed up convergence.Theoretical analysis and experiments show that,compared with several mainstream algorithms,the proposed algorithm has the faster convergence rate and lower denoising reconstruction error.…”

Network-based malcode detection technology by WU Bing1, YUN Xiao-chun2, GAO Qi1

“…Following the analysis for traditional distributed IDS,disadvantages that applying structure of multiple engine and small rules set to detect network-level malcode were pointed out,which is based on detailed protocol decoding.Detection model and anti-malcode markup language of network-level malcode were designed for single engine and big rules set.The characteristics of network data flow were analyzed.By optimization of patterns,frequent collisions between suffix with data flow and unbalanced branched of chained list were avoided.The efficiency by using WM algorithm to detect malcode on network level can be remarkably increased.…”
