Traffic measurement algorithm based on least recent used and Bloom filter by Zhen ZHANG, Bin-qiang WANG, Feng-yu ZHANG, Ning-ning LIANG

“…Aiming at the naïve algorithm’s deficiency of high false negative probability,a novel scheme called LRU-BF(least recent used ＆amp;Bloom filter) was presented.In order to achieve high accuracy,the algorithm adopted mechanisms of LRU eliminating and Bloom filter representation to separate the process of heavy-hitter fliteration from the heavy-hitter recognition.Based on statistical theory,analytical expressions about upper-bound error probability were deduced.Simulated results indicate that LRU-BF can achieve space saving and lower error probabilit compared with Naïve-LRU algorithm.Meanwhile,it can also support the 10Gbit/s line-speed processing.…”

HOW ONESIMUS WAS HEARD – EVENTUALLY. SOME INSIGHTS FROM THE HISTORY OF INTERPRETATION OF PAUL’S LETTER TO PHILEMON by D.F. Tolmie

“…Several examples of the way in which scholars interpreted the role of Onesimus are discussed, and it is argued that four broad trends may be discerned: Onesimus as a culprit who was saved by Paul; Onesimus as a pawn in the abolitionism debate; Onesimus’ status disputed, and Onesimus as a victim, with the letter being read in a resistant way. …”

Algorithm of route discovery based on distance prediction in MANET by LI Shi-bao, HONG Li

“…A scheme of route discovery was provided based on the distance prediction to destination.Hops table was established to store historical records.The long-range information and instantaneous information were extracted from historical records.The distance to the destination was calculated by weight sum of both long-range information and instantaneous information.By aid of the distance predicted,the optimized parameters of ERS including the initial TTL value,broadcast threshold and step size of ERS were calculated.Simulation results showed that the new scheme significantly improved performance of the protocol under many kinds of simulation scenarios.The routing overhead was saved and the end-to-end delay of the packet was reduced.At the same time,the new scheme was also easy to implement.…”

Trajectory privacy protection mechanism of obfuscating paths based on vehicles cooperation by Ziwen ZHAO, Ayong YE, Junlin JIN, Lingyu MENG

“…Vehicles sent location information to third parties to obtain location-based services in the Internet of vehicles,which may lead to vehicle trajectory privacy leakage.To address the privacy problem,trajectory privacy protection mechanism of obfuscating paths based on vehicles cooperation was proposed.Firstly,after the vehicle trajectory entropy reaches the custom trajectory protection threshold,the overhead of paths confusion saves by reducing the number of vehicle paths confusion.Then,paths confusion algorithm was designed to increase chances of vehicle paths confusion at intersections,which can improve the degree of vehicle trajectory protection.Finally,the simulation experiment verified the validity and efficiency of the method from the trajectory entropy and trajectory tracking success rate.…”

Priority-based message forwarding and query processing in opportunistic wireless sensor network by Yong-xuan LAI, Zi-yu LIN

“…A priority-based algorithm called PBQ was proposed for the query forwarding and processing in opportunistic wireless sensor network.Through the user-defined query priorities,the proposed algorithm properly selects the relay nodes and controlls the forwarding and the amount of messages.Meanwhile,the query priorities were adjusted dynamically so that the query results could be forwarded back to the source node of the query quickly and the residual query request messages could be cleaned up from the network,saving lots of unnecessary transmissions and improving the overall utility of query processing.Simulating results show that PBQ could effectively improve the success rate of queries,and reduce the cost and delay of query processing in opportunistic wireless sensor network.…”

Vibration Modal Analysis of a New Type of Automobile Transmission Housing by Tao Xiaomin, Wang Shaojie

“…Based on the transmission housing which is designed independently by Automotive Engineering Technology Research Institute of Hefei University of Technology,the three- dimensional modeling of the housing is built by using Pro / E software,then imported in hypermesh saved as. DAT format after meshing. Then,the modeling is imported into the mechanical transmission system of the transmission which has already been established in the Romax Designer,and the combination of the flexible portion and a rigid model of the transmission system is achieved. …”

Large-scale log compressing system based on differential compression by Qiu TANG, Lei JIANG, Qiong DAI

“…The scale of log data produced by the large scale information system is growing rapidly.It leads to the big challenge of line-speed compressing and saving the large scale log data.By analysis on massive network log data,it is found that the log data has redundant pattern in terms of log structure and time local similarity in terms of log content.A differential log compression architecture based on template is proposed.Fine-grained differential compressive strategies in the architecture can be configured for a special log data.Experimental results show that,compared with gizp,the proposed log compressing architecture improves 2～10 times’ compressive speed and gain a better compressing ratio approaching to 10%.…”
