Analysis of DoS attacks on Docker inter-component stdio copy by Tianyu ZHOU, Wenbo SHEN, Nanzi YANG, Jinku LI, Chenggang QIN, Wang YU

“…In recent years,Docker has been widely deployed due to its flexibility and high scalability.However,its modular design leads to the DoS attacks on inter-component communication.A new DoS attack that outputs to stdout,causing high CPU usages among different Docker components.Analysis shows that the stdout output triggers the goroutines of Docker components.To find all goroutines setup paths,using the static analysis method to analyze the Docker components systematically was proposed.A static analysis framework was designed and implemented,and evaluated on Docker source code.The results show that static analysis framework finds 34 paths successfully,while 22 of them are confirmed by runtime verification.…”

Reliability Analysis Method of the Motion Accuracy of Rotating Guide-bar Mechanism Considering Multi-correlated Failure Mode by Li Chang, Wang Bingchen, Han Xing, Song Hua

“…There inevitably existed multi-correlated failure modes in the mechanism motion process,and these modes are expressed as functions of random variables.Firstly,a reliability calculation model for the mechanism motion under multi-failure mode is built and solved.Secondly,taking the rotating guide-bar mechanism as example,the calculation solution of the motion accuracy reliability under multi-correlated failure mode is carried out based on the method of Monte Carlo.Lastly,the guide-bar mechanism reliability curves under different times are got,and the theory foundation for mechanism dynamic optimum design is provided.This method with high accuracy,has some theory meaning and application value.…”

Data-Driven Retention Marketing Development Strategy in Telecom Enterprise by Chenxi Qi, Yiming Yu

“…As the new market shrink，some new product market become even to zero，the marketing strategy goal transfer from acquisition to customer retention in the telecom enterprise.Because of the gap between the retention marketing goal and the marketing reality，it was discussed how the telecom company could develop data-driven marketing of retention.Firstly，design the ability architecture of data-driven retention marketing IT system.Secondly，distinct and establish the management and operational process of retention marketing.Thirdly，establish the two foundation databases，one is the customer needs’ labels database，and the other is marketing and campaign resources database.Fourthly，improve and establish the three kinds of core abilities-including the ability of allocation of marketing resource for the customer needs，the ability of the channel triggering and the ability of the visual management of retention marketing.…”

Analysis of Forces and Fatigue Life of the Sun Wheel in Shearer Planetary Reducer by Mao Jun, Guo Jianfeng, Chen Hongyue

“…According to the characteristics of coal cutting drum of shearer,the stress of drum is analyzed,the mechanical model of planetary reduction gear solar wheel’ s torque,instantaneous rotational speed and tangential force are obtained.By using the MATLAB software,the simulation of the derived mathematical model in sun wheel is carried out,with the pick position angle changes,the variation images of the solar wheel’s torque,instantaneous rotational speed and tangential force are obtained.Finally,the damage value under different loads is obtained by experiment,and based on the application of the Miner’s linear cumulative damage,the life of sun wheel is analyzed,it reaches a conclusion.For further optimal design of small size,high power of shearer provide a reliable theoretical basis.…”

Evaluating MapReduce for seismic data processing using a practical application by Chang-hai ZHAO, Hai-hua YAN, Xiao-peng LIU, Deng XIONG, Xiao-hua SHI

“…Huge amounts of seismic data undergo complex iterative processing in the oil industry to get knowledge of the earth’s subsurface structure to detect where oil can be found and recovered.To evaluate the suitability of MapReduce for seismic processing algorithms,the algorithm design and implementation of Fresnel tomography on Hadoop MapReduce was described.Experiments demonstrate that MapReduce is approximately 3 times slower than MPI,and tuning the performance of MapReduce is really hard.To expand its applicability to high performance computing for oil industry,MapReduce should be improved in the flexibility and provide the opportunity to exploit fine-grained thread-level parallelism.Finally,research ideas to achieve these objectives were presented.…”
