Network function heterogeneous redundancy deployment method based on immune algorithm by Qingqing ZHANG, Hongbo TANG, Wei YOU, Yingle LI

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing security defense methods cannot resist many unknown vulnerabilities and backdoors in the network function virtualization platform, a mimic defense architecture for network function virtualization using mimic defense ideas was proposed, a heterogeneous redundant deployment method based on an immune algorithm for the construction of heterogeneous pools was proposed.Firstly, the degree of heterogeneity between heterogeneous entities was quantitatively evaluated in combination with the entropy value method, then the network function heterogeneous redundant deployment problem was constructed into a minimax problem with the optimization goal of maximizing the degree of heterogeneity between heterogeneous entities, and finally the immune algorithm was used to quickly solve the optimal deployment solution of network functions.Simulation results show that the proposed method can quickly converge to an optimal deployment scheme and ensure that the overall distribution of heterogeneity between heterogeneous bodies is at a high level, effectively increasing the diversity between heterogeneous bodies and improving the attacker's difficulty.…”

Ontology-Based Resource Modeling and Matching Framework in Avionics Systems by Xiaoyan Du, Chenglie Du, Jinchao Chen, Chunhui Dong, Yifan Liu

“…First, this paper constructs a hierarchical resource organization framework based on virtual resource pool, covering dispersed and heterogeneous avionics resources and shielding the differences and diversity of resources; next, introduces ontology technology into resource modeling and encapsulates resources as services using the idea of “resource as a service,” facilitating the access and control of resources; in addition, proposes a matching framework which takes into account the energy consumption, in which it firstly tries to find a list of resources which can meet task requirements by a stepwise intelligent matching strategy based on semantic similarity, and the resources in the list will then be sorted according to the energy consumption. …”
