Next generation intelligent converged metro network by Chang CAO, Shuai ZHANG, Xiongyan TANG

“…First of all,the main issues in current operator metro network were analyzed,the background of why intelligent metro network and the main technologies of the application were introduced.Then the network deployment plans and service organization plans according to the scale of the metro network and the timeline for introduction of all related technologies were introduced.At last,a stage-by-stage exposition regarding to the fusion mode of communication cloud and intelligent converged metro network during deployment process was presented.Based on a series of analysis,it was pointed out that the construction of intelligent metro network played a very important role in the process of SDN/NFV network reconfiguration and cloud network fusion.It’s of great value to bear existing metro network services synthetically and cope with future services on the collaboration of cloud,network and edge.It’s necessary to accumulate operation experiences continuously in the deployment process.…”

New certificateless aggregate signature scheme with universal designated verifier by Zhi-yan XU, Li-bing WU, Li LI, De-biao HE

“…Certificateless aggregate signature(CLAS) schemes with universal designated verifier had been widely applied in resource-constrained wireless mobile networks,because they could not only solve the problems of the certificate management and private key escrow,but also realize batch validation and the signer’s privacy protection.A security analysis for a certificateless aggregate signature scheme with universal designated verifier was firstly provided,and two attack methods to demonstrate that their scheme was forgeable was presented.To enhance security,a new certificateless aggregate signature scheme with universal designated verifier was proposed,and then the security of the scheme in the random oracle model was proved.The performance of our proposed scheme was finally evaluated.Compared with the original scheme,the pvoposed scheme fixes the security flaws and the total computational cost is greatly reduced.…”

Some critical issues of content sharing network by Qiang LU, Bo LIU, Hua-ping HU

“…As a sharing platform for files,information and resources,CSN (content sharing network) possessed a very wide distribution in Internet.It did provide a great convenience for people to share various contents through Internet with the rapid development and wide application of network techniques,especially the emergence and prevalence of P2P (peer-to-peer).However,numerous malicious files,cheating information and spywares swarmed into Internet,which pose a serious threat to the security of CSN.A survey was made of some critical issues of CSN combining with the current development and research status from the perspective of network security.The critical issues include the definition and important properties,different taxonomies of types,key techniques,developing and researching trends of CSN.…”

Analysis and Dynamic Optimization of Torsional Vibration Characteristic of Traction Unit of Shearer by Jia Chao, Wang Dawei

“…The torsional stiffness of the three torsion springs with the greatest potential are optimized and the optimized data are validated by using the above model,the result show that the potential energy distribution of the torsion spring is more uniform and the maximum potential energy value of each torsion spring has obviously decreased compared with the previous optimization. This method is of great significance to improve the torsional vibration characteristics of the traction unit of the shearer.…”
