Online placement algorithm of service function chain based on knowledge graph by Zexi XU, Lei ZHUANG, Kunli ZHANG, Mingyu GUI

“…The emergence of new network services such as immersive cloud XR and holographic communication puts forward higher requirements for network service quality.To ensure the availability of network services, the network service delay and reliability must be controlled within a certain quality of service according to the attributes and dependencies of network functions.However, the traditional network representation forms, such as bitmap and matrix, cannot cover these key network information, resulting in the information loss in the input stage of the algorithm, which leads to the deviation of the calculation results.Therefore, in order to accurately extract user needs and reflect the dynamic changes of network resources, knowledge graph was adopted to represent the network and its services, an online placement algorithm of service function chain based on knowledge graph was proposed.Based on this, a relationship alignment method based on editing distance was designed to guide the online placement of service function chains under complex dependency relationships.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the placement accuracy of service function chain by 10%~15% and reduce the average network energy consumption by about 13%.The proposed algorithm has low complexity and high timeliness.…”

ContractGuard:defend Ethereum smart contract with embedded intrusion detection by Gansen ZHAO, Zhijian XIE, Xinming WANG, Jiahao HE, Chengzhi ZHANG, Chengchuang LIN, ZHOU Ziheng, Bingchuan CHEN, RONG Chunming

“…Ethereum smart contracts are programs that can be collectively executed by a network of mutually untrusted nodes.Smart contracts handle and transfer assets of values,offering strong incentives for malicious attacks.Intrusion attacks are a popular type of malicious attacks.ContractGuard,the first intrusion detection system (IDS) was proposed to defend Ethereum smart contracts against such attacks.Like IDSs for conventional programs,ContractGuard detects intrusion attempts as abnormal control flow.However,existing IDS techniques or tools are inapplicable to Ethereum smart contracts due to Ethereum’s decentralized nature and its highly restrictive execution environment.To address these issues,ContractGuard was designed by embedding it in the contracts.At runtime,ContractGuard protects the smart contract by monitoring the context-tagged acyclic path of the smart contract.As ContractGuard involves deployment overhead and deployment overhead.It was optimized under the Ethereum Gas-oriented performance model to reduce the overheads.The experimental results show that this work can effectively detect 83% of vulnerabilities,ContractGuard only adds to 36.14% of the deployment overhead and 28.27% of the runtime overhead.…”
