A Model Reduction Method for Parallel Software Testing by Tao Sun, Xinming Ye

“…Modeling and testing for parallel software systems are very difficult, because the number of states and execution sequences expands significantly caused by parallel behaviors. In this paper, a model reduction method based on Coloured Petri Net (CPN) is shown, which could generate a functionality-equivalent and trace-equivalent model with smaller scale. …”

Application of Reverse Time Migration to Faults Imaging in Rakhine Basin, Myanmar by Seonghyung Jang, Donghoon Lee

“…Although faults are an indicator of possible hydrocarbon traps, they are difficult to identify in seismic images using traditional stack or prestack time migration due to the rather complex behaviors of wave propagation. On the other hand, prestack depth migration (PSDM) can significantly improve the accuracy of seismic images, especially of complex subsurface structures such as faults, folds, overthrusts, and salt domes. …”

Innovative Smart Road Stud Sensor Network Development for Real-Time Traffic Monitoring by Zhimin Tao, Wei Quan, Hua Wang

“…Field test results show that the vehicle detection accuracy based on the SRS network is about 98% per lane, which is the same level as the commercial detector installed in center of lane, even under the non-standard driving behaviors such as crossing lane line. The high performance, value-added service, and low cost enable wide-range applications of SRS networks as part of intelligent traffic detection infrastructure.…”

Optimal active defense decision model of wireless communication network under APT attack by Meng MENG, Danni WANG, Jun LYU, Fuliang ZHANG

“…The optimal active defense decision can ensure the security and stability of wireless communication networks.In order to improve the defense effectiveness of wireless communication networks, an optimal active defense decision model for wireless communication networks under APT attacks was proposed.Wireless communication network logs were associated, a set of APT attack objects were constructed, the absolute compatibility of APT attack events was calculated through feedback compatibility coefficients, and APT attack behaviors were predicted.Based on the channel bandwidth of APT attack sources on wireless communication networks, the location of the wireless communication network being attacked by APT was obtained, and the weight coefficients of wireless communication network nodes were used to extract the APT attack characteristics of the wireless communication network.Using the attack and defense diagram, the degree of damage caused by APT attacks to wireless communication networks was calculated.By defining the security status of wireless communication networks, an optimal active defense decision model for wireless communication networks was constructed.The experimental results show that the proposed model can increase the packet rejection rate and throughput of attack packets to over 90% and 16 000 bit/s respectively when defending against APT attacks in wireless communication networks, with lower time delay and better defense effectiveness.…”
