Analysis and modeling of Internet backbone traffic with 5G/B5G by Yuan YANG, Mingwei XU, Hao CHEN

“…The effects that the 5th generation mobile network (5G) bring to Internet backbone were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively.First,the challenges that the characteristics of 5G,i.e.ultra-high data rate,ultra-low latency,and ultra-large number of connections,introduce to Internet backbone in terms of traffic,latency,and security were analyzed.Second,a model was proposed to capture the characteristics of 5G users and Internet traffic with the coordination of 5G,edge computing,and cloud computing.Then,numerical simulations were used to evaluate the model.The QoS requirements that Internet backbone faces under different extent of 5G deployment were evaluated.According to the study,increment of backbone traffic,increment of the ratio of propagation delay,and movement of bandwidth bottleneck are predicted after 5G/B5G deployment.…”

Prévention des risques professionnels et formation : éléments de réflexion à partir de la didactique professionnelle et de l’ergonomie by Christine Vidal-Gomel

“…So the objective is to identify “professional knowledge of reference” to design trainings that embed “regulated safety” and “managed safety”, which are required to produce safety culture and security. This approach of training design, based on activity analysis both in ergonomics and professional didactics, allows to turn back on the technical/regulatory and behaviourist point of view which still dominates the domain of training in occupational risk prevention.…”

Certificateless strong designated verifier multi-signature by Hong-zhen DU, Qiao-yan WEN

“…,the definition and security model for certificateless strong designated verifier multi-signature were proposed.Then,the first certificateless strong designated verifier multi-signature scheme from bilinear pairings was constructed and it was proved that the scheme is existentially unforgeable under the computational bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumption and the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption.Moreover,the scheme meets the properties of both strong designated verifier signatures and multi-signatures.The scheme achieves high efficiency since the length of designated verifier multi-signature generated by the scheme is only 160 bits and the computational cost of bilinear pairings necessary for verification algorithm is constant,i.e.…”

Analysis and prospects of the development of the industrial Internet in the petrochemical industry by Siqi SUN

“…In recent years, many countries have vigorously developed the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.China has promulgated a number of policies to encourage the development of the industrial Internet in various industries and regions, and it has begun to take shape.Based on the current development needs of the petrochemical industry, and the overall transformation and upgrading challenges, the problems faced by the upstream, midstream and downstream were analyzed, including upstream reliance on imports, inadequate midstream refining and chemical core technology and system capabilities, and downstream product structure layout.Several suggestions based on the development of the industrial Internet were put forward, including underlying data analysis, core technology integration, industry ecological environment, and security protection system.Finally, the prospects and research directions for the future development of the industrial Internet in the petrochemical industry were put forward.…”
