Personalized requirements oriented trustworthy services recommendation based on social network by Pei-yun ZHANG, En-hong CHEN, Bo HUANG

“…In current background of service computing and society computing,it is difficult to obtain the trustworthy Web services to meet users' personalized requirements.To olve the problem,the trustworthy services recommendation model was proposed which orients personalized requirements based on socia twork.The decomposing and matching algorithm was proposed for users' personalized requirements,and the algorithm utilizes the semantic dictionary to improve the se-mantic match of users' requirements.Based on personal zed functional requirements and social trust values of network nodes and the services' direct trust values and indirect trust values,a trustworthy service recommendation algorithm was designed which meets the personalized requirements.By analyzing the correlation among the social network and services' trust values,the method can improve the performance of trustworthy services collaborative recommendation.The analysis of algorithms and experiments' results show that the approach is effective and feasible.…”

Optimal service selection approach considering both atomic transaction and end-to-end QoS constraints by LIU Hai1, ZHANG Wei-min1, ZHANG Zhu-xi2, JIA Xiong1, LIAO Wei1

“…An actual SCG（service candidate graph） model-based optimal service selection approach was proposed.Firstly,the approach created transactional constraint relationships among candidates as an actual SCG model with several build-ing rules,whose correctness had been also proved;Then,an optimal QoS-aware service selection algorithm on the basis of BFS（breadth first search） was designed,where a relaxing and pruming method was applied to keep the computation scale in polynomial time.Finally,simulation experiments were conducted with real-world QoS dataset and random data-set,whose results demonstrated the beneficial performance on global QoS utility and outstanding successful selecting ra-tio over other related work.Meanwhile,the correctnesss has also been proved in practice by implementing a transactional automation.…”

Software reliability prediction with an improved Elman network model by CHENG Xu-chao1, CHEN Xin-yu1, GUO Ping1

“…In order to improve accuracy and dependability of using neural network for software reliability prediction,a multi-objective optimization-based improved Elman recurrent network method（Mop-IElman） was proposed.First,on the basis of the Elman network,a self-delay feedback of the output layer as another context layer was designed.Second,the network architecture and the initial outputs of these two context layers were taken as variables of network configuration setting,and NSGA-II was employed to simultaneously optimize prediction performance and robustness,then the Pareto solution was obtained.After that,by maximizing the sum of prediction performance and robustness,the final network configuration setting was determined.Finally,the proposed method was compared with the feed-forward neural network,the Elman network,both the single-objective and the multi-objective optimization Elman networks with respect to two real software failure data.It demonstrated that the proposed Mop-IElman achieves higher prediction accuracy and de-pendability.…”

Flow-of-traffic prediction program based mobile edge computing for Internet of vehicles using double auction by Yan LIN, Shuai YAN, Yijin ZHANG, Chunguo LI, Feng SHU

“…With an aim of maximizing the efficiency of edge offloading and the resource utilization of edge computing server simultaneously, a new flow-of-traffic prediction based edge computing offloading solution was proposed for Internet of vehicles (IoV).Firstly, both the efficiency utility function of vehicle and the resource utilization of mobile edge computing (MEC) server were established by considering task priority.Next, the formulated dual-objective optimization problem was transformed into a double auction problem between vehicles and MEC servers.Finally, based on the designed flow-of-traffic based pricing function of vehicle and MEC server, a McAfee auction algorithm was adopted to complete the edge computing process.Simulation results show that benefiting from the flow-of-traffic prediction information, the proposed solution can significantly improve both the efficiency of computation offloading and the utilization of computation resource.…”

UC secure one-time signature based broadcast authentication by ZHANG Jun-wei, MA Jian-feng, YANG Li

“…The provable security of one-time signature based broadcast authentication protocols was investigated.In the UC framework,a one-time signature based broadcast authentication model was proposed.Firstly,the one-time signature ideal functionality FOTS and the broadcast authentication ideal functionality FBAUTH were formally defined in the model.Then,one-time signature protocol HORS+ was proposed.At the same time,a broadcast authentication scheme πBAUTH was designed in the（FOTS,FREG）-hybrid model.Finally,based on the scheme πBAUTH,a new broadcast authentication protocol was then obtained by the combined use of HORS+.The result shows that HORS+ securely realizes the ideal func-tionality FOTS,and πBAUTH also realizes the ideal functionality FBAUTH.According to the composition theorem in the UC framework,the composed broadcast authentication protocol is UC secure and can be applied to broadcast the authenticated message in the resource-limited networks.…”
