OPTICAL BISTABILITY IN A DEGENERATE TWO-LEVEL EIT MEDIUM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD: AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH by Le Thi Minh Phuong, Dinh Xuan Khoa, Nguyen Huy Bang, Thai Doan Thanh, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Hoang Minh Dong

“…By controlling the external magnetic field, we find that the appearance and disappearance of the optical bistability can be easily controlled according to the strength of the magnetic field in the transparent window domain. Furthermore, the effects of the intensity of the coupling laser field and the parameters of the system on the behavior of optical bistability are also considered. …”

Container intrusion detection method based on host system call frequency by Yimu JI, Weidong YANG, Kui LI, Shangdong LIU, Qiang LIU, Sisi SHAO, Shuai YOU, Naijiao HUANG

“…Container technology has become a widely used virtualization technology in cloud platform due to its lightweight virtualization characteristics.However, it shares the kernel with the host, so it has poor security and isolation, and is vulnerable to flood, denial of service, and escape attacks.In order to effectively detect whether the container is attacked or not, an intrusion detection method based on host system call frequency was proposed.This method took advantage of the different frequency of system call between different attack behaviors, collected the system call generated when the container was running, extracted the system call features by combining the sliding window and TF-IDF algorithm, and classified by comparing the feature similarity.The experimental results show that the detection rate of this method can reach 97%, and the false alarm rate is less than 4%.…”

Sub-topic detection and tracking based on dependency connection weights for vector space model by Xue-guang ZHOU, Fei GAO, Yan SUN

“…Aiming at the phenomenon that there are abrupt reports,similar topics and abundant levels of subtopics in the news,a novel method based on relationship analysis using dependent sentence pattern was proposed for sub-topic detection and tracking (sTDT),which constructed feature dimensions to generate the global vectors according to the increment of TF-IDF,and then created the partial adjoin map based on the connection weights within the time window and decreased the dimensions through dependent sentence pattern.Finally,a novel method for sTDT computing was built with adjoins dictionary weights and time threshold attenuation.Experiments show that the proposed method transferrs the text from linear to plane structure,and extracts the subtopics effectively,of which the minimum DET cost is reduced by at least 2.2 percent than that of classical methods.…”

Resource scheduling algorithm of satellite communication system for future multi-beam dense networking by Yuanzhi HE, Cong PENG, Jihong YU, Yun LIU

“…The resource scheduling problem of satellite communication systems under the condition of high-dynamic and resource limitation was studied.A resource scheduling model for satellite communication systems was established based on time window, energy consumption, number of channels, user priority and task suddenness.Considering the disadvantages of slow initial search speed and weak local search ability, the improved ant colony algorithm based on construction of initial solution set and extra pheromone deposition was proposed to solve the resource scheduling problem.The optimization characteristics of the number of completed tasks, priority and scheduling completion time were simulated and analyzed.The results show that the algorithm has a fast convergence rate.Compared with the same type optimization algorithm, the algorithm has high scheduling efficiency, therefore, it is suitable for scheduling satellite communication system resources for multi-beam dense networking in the future.…”

Dynamic adaptive trust evaluation model based on interaction-aware by Feng LI, Li-min SHEN, Ya-li SI, Jing-chun NIU

“…A dynamic adaptive trust evaluation model was established based on interaction-aware.The historical interaction window and trustworthy recommendation number was introduced in overall trust evaluation method,which overcomes the shortage of traditional models that lack the capacity to interaction-aware.The direct trust accumulation method based on interaction satisfaction degree iterative calculation was proposed,which achieved the incentive and penalty iterative strategy based on entity stability factor,and effectively inhibits malicious entities with camouflage.A synthetical recommendation trust aggregating method based on combination of direct and indirect recommendation trust was given,which solved the accuracy low and unreliable problems of traditional recommendation methods by introducing entity familiarity factor and scoring similarity factor.Simulation results show that,compared to the existing trust model,the model can effectively improve the accuracy of trust evaluation,and can provide a better capacity of resisting collusive entities.…”

Effective retransmission in network coding for TCP by Jing CHEN, Xue-peng SONG, Fang LIU

“…Theoretical analysis for evaluating the decoding delay and redundancy of the different retransmission schemes show that the feedback based retransmission scheme has a lower decoding delay than the scheme with a fixed retransmis-sion rate, whereas these schemes which retransmit packets containing all packets in the coding window are deeply influ-enced by the loss rate. Therefore a novel network coding retransmission scheme which uses the implicit information of seen scheme to acquire the number of packets the receiver needs for decoding packets is proposed, the encoding rules of retransmission to let a part of packets decodable in advance are changed. …”
