Dissolved State and Identity in John Maxwell Coetzee’s Life and Times of Michael K within the scope of the Postcolonial Other by İsmail Avcu

“…Regardless of the situation, human rights are expected to be maintained and safeguarded and it can be inferred from this that such rights are automatically terminated in times of war. Michael K’s futile attempts to obtain travel documents to Cape Town lawfully serve as an example of how much people rely on the efficient operation of all governmental institutions, while his entire life demonstrates the significance of personal freedom and freedom of movement. …”

Secure and collaborative spectrum sensing scheme based on audit game by Yuntao WANG, Zhou SU, Qichao XU, Yiliang LIU, Haixia PENG, Hao LUAN

“…To defend against poisoning attacks and free-riding attacks conducted by malicious sensing terminals in crowd sensing-based collaborative spectrum sensing (CCSS), a novel audit game-based defense scheme was proposed, which combined the pre-deterrence and post-punishment mechanisms.Firstly, considering the audit budget constraint, a mixed-strategy audit game model under incomplete information was designed, which set a penalty strategy to deter malicious collaborators before spectrum sensing, and audited and punished them after the fusion of sensing data.Then, a lightweight audit chain model with on-chain and off-chain collaboration was designed, in which audit evidence was stored in an off-chain data warehouse and its metadata was publicly published on the blockchain.Furthermore, a distributed and intelligent audit algorithm based on reinforcement learning was devised to adaptively seek the approximate mix-strategy equilibrium of the audit game.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can quickly obtain the stable and approximately optimal audit strategies and actively suppress the poisoning and free-riding behaviors of malicious collaborators, in comparison with conventional schemes.…”

Design and implementation of mobile video service quality analysis system by Gang ZHAO

“…Customer perception of mobile video service not only depends on the quality of the network,but also depends on the role of “end,pipeline,cloud,platform”.It is urgent to change the quality assurance mechanism based on the network itself to the end-to-end horizontal integration of customer perception.To solve these problems,the design and implementation of a mobile video service quality analysis system was introduced.The analysis model was established from service,flow direction,area,network element,community and terminal in order to analyze the data source in each part of the mobile video service; key KQI and changing trend of video services was presented,constant performance monitoring was carried out; the problem was found from the users’ perspective,trend analysis of performance deterioration,cause analysis of performance deterioration; automatic or manual processing of the identified problems by distribution work order was carried out,the problems were solved by antomatically or manual dispatch,closed-loop management mechanism was established.This system could improve the management level of mobile video service quality and reduce the cost notably significantly.The framework of the system and the realization of main function part was introduced in detail,and examples of system applications were described.…”

Efficient secure federated learning aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption by Shengxing YU, Zhong CHEN

“…In order to solve the problems of data security and communication overhead in federated learning, an efficient and secure federated aggregation framework based on homomorphic encryption was proposed.In the process of federated learning, the privacy and security issues of user data need to be solved urgently.However, the computational cost and communication overhead caused by the encryption scheme would affect the training efficiency.Firstly, in the case of protecting data security and ensuring training efficiency, the Top-K gradient selection method was used to screen model gradients, reducing the number of gradients that need to be uploaded.A candidate quantization protocol suitable for multi-edge terminals and a secure candidate index merging algorithm were proposed to further reduce communication overhead and accelerate homomorphic encryption calculations.Secondly, since model parameters of each layer of neural networks had characteristics of the Gaussian distribution, the selected model gradients were clipped and quantized, and the gradient unsigned quantization protocol was adopted to speed up the homomorphic encryption calculation.Finally, the experimental results show that in the federated learning scenario, the proposed framework can protect data privacy, and has high accuracy and efficient performance.…”
