Optimal control of vaccine distribution in a rabies metapopulation model by Erika Asano, Louis J. Gross, Suzanne Lenhart, Leslie A. Real

“…We apply optimal control theory to find the best timing for dis-tribution of vaccine in each of the linked subpopulations across the landscape.This strategy is chosen to limit the disease optimally by making the numberof infections as small as possible while accounting for the cost of vaccination.…”

Trusted network connect control based on terminal behavior by LIU Wei-wei1, HAN Zhen2, SHEN Chang-xiang3

“…Under the framework of TNC,a new method was proposed to calculate the "healthy status" of a terminal based on analyzing the real-time characteristics of its behavior and process activity.Compared with the existing method,which based on static characteristics,the strategy could get a better performance,especially,on identifying and isolating the terminals with potential risk.The experimental result also shows that the proposed algorithm has the capability of finding and isolating terminals which are infected by malicious codes.…”
