Sensitive information leakage awareness method for big data platform based on multi-attributes decision-making and taint tracking by Le-tian SHA, Fu XIAO, Wei CHEN, Jing SUN, Ru-chuan WANG

“…Based on multiple-attribute-decision-making and taint tracking,a sensitive-information leakage awareness method was proposed,some relative known vulnerabilities in big data platform was analyzed,target database was extracted and extended,multiple attribute model was built combined with operation semantic,a grey-correlation-analysis and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution based sensitivity measurement was designed in combination of regular operation semantic for sensitive information.A prototype was built based on taint tracking,sensitive-information leakage vulnerabilities could be verified and discovered across big data platforms in this method.The experiment shows that verification for known bugs and discovery for unknown vulnerabilities can be accomplished based on leakage scenarios,which can be regarded as a support for protection in dynamic sensitive information data flow.…”

Heterogeneous resource cooperative game in space-ground computing power network by Yutong ZHANG, Yuming PENG, Boya DI, Lingyang SONG

“…To deal with the resource competition among satellites in the multi-satellite space-ground computing network, a space-ground heterogeneous resource cooperative game mechanism was designed in terms of the computing and spectrum domains.Each satellite published a computing task which was independent of other tasks and relied on UE to generate raw data.By competing the resources of user terminals and UE, the task offloading and processing was achieved.To provide real-time data services, a distributed scheme was proposed based on multi-agent reinforcement learning to coordinate the computing and spectrum resource competition among satellites, thereby minimizing the system latency.Simulation results indicated that, compared with the existing schemes, the proposed algorithm achieves a lower system latency by fully utilizing the computing and spectrum resources and coordinating the resource competition.…”

The Bologna Process and Learner Autonomy: Russian Specifics by M. A. Ivanova

“…As the result of the research done, the author comes to the conclusion that the majority of Russian freshmen are not ready to study in the terms of credit-modular system because of the lack of necessary study skills and inability to work ndependently. Hence, the designers of new State educational standards of both secondary and higher education should focus their attention on the process of learner autonomy development…”

Distributed storage causal consistency model with trusted constraint by Junfeng TIAN, Juntao ZHANG, Yanbiao WANG

“…At present, there are few mature solutions to consider security risks in the research field of distributed storage causal consistency.On the basis of hybrid logic clock and HashGraph, combined with trusted cloud alliance technology in trusted cloud platform, a distributed storage causal consistency model (CCT model) with trust constraints was proposed.The CCT model designed identity authentication and consistent data trust verification mechanism on the client side and the server side respectively, and imposed security constraints on the process of data synchronization between data replicas in the cloud storage cluster.Through the simulation experiment, CCT model can identify and verify the identity signature forgery, illegal third party and other security risks in the client and server, and provide the trusted constraint for the system on the premise of causing small performance cost.…”

Communication topology reconstruction method for multi-agent cooperative control in polymorphic networks by Ruyun ZHANG, Geyang XIAO, Qihe SHAN, Tao ZOU, Dan LI, Fei TENG

“…As the task objectives and working environment become more and more complex and changeable, considering the limitations of the cooperative control of a single multi-agent system under the unilateralism communication network, a communication topology reconstruction method for multi-agent cooperative control in polymorphic networks was studied.Firstly, the multi-lateral distributed cooperative control framework was constructed based on multi-agent system in the polymorphic network environment.Secondly, a communication topology reconstruction method was proposed for multiple multi-agent systems with different functions after networking, and a distributed control protocol was designed to achieve multi-consensus.Finally, a simulation example was given to verify that the proposed method can complete the communication topology reconstruction of multi-agent cooperative control in polymorphic network.…”
