Survey of key management schemes for cluster networks by Jun LIU, Lin YUAN, Zhishang FENG

“…With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and communication network technology, increasing attention has been paid to cluster intelligence.Cluster network is an important part of cluster intelligence, the security of information interaction has attracted much attention, and cluster key management has become a research hotspot in network information security.In recent years, many cluster key management schemes have been proposed, which provide effective solutions for information security interaction of complex cluster network systems.The existing cluster key management schemes were analyzed and summarized, and the future research direction and application scenarios were discussed.The typical three-layer cluster network model was introduced, including the control layer, cluster head layer and node layer.The characteristics of cluster network were summarized, such as large number and scale, dynamic topology change, and hierarchical cluster heterogeneity.According to the key management strategy and cluster networking scenarios, the cluster key management process before and after the network deployment was summarized.The key management evaluation index was analyzed from the aspects of security, efficiency, and flexibility.Then, three key management schemes including pre-distribution management, healing management and dynamic management were discussed.Their basic ideas, advantages and disadvantages were analyzed, and their performance from the aspects of techniques, security, flexibility, and efficiency was compared.Besides, the research hotspots related to cluster key management were prospected from cross-domain heterogeneity, cluster authentication, healing mechanism, and technology fusion.The security function of cluster key management in future application scenarios such as ubiquitous IoT, all-domain operation, and smart city was discussed.…”

Water and Sediment Process Variation in Jingjiang River in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River and Response Analysis of Flow Capacity of Three Outlets by SHEN Jian, YUAN Song

“…The Jingjiang reach of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is connected to Dongting Lake through three outlets,forming an extremely complex and far-reaching relationship between the rivers and lakes.The operation of the Three Gorges Project has changed the natural water and sediment process in the Jingjiang River downstream of the dam.This leads to “flattening” flood processes in the main stream,extended middle water period,and an increase in low flow,which has promoted the continuous response of the three outlets to the above water and sediment conditions.Meanwhile,this paper employs a series of long-term measured hydrological consolidation data and river channel terrain observation results from nearly 70 years.Based on this,the response characteristics of the three outlets to the water and sediment variation process of the Jingjiang River are analyzed,and the flow and sediment diversion,river regime,and erosion and sedimentation evolution laws in the entrance area are summarized.The results show that in the same inflow conditions before and after the operation of the Three Gorges Project,the diversion ratio of three outlets decreases,and the sediment diversion corresponds to the sediment from the upstream branch city.Additionally,the sediment diversion ratio continues its gradually increasing trend.After the impoundment and operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir,the riverbed of three outlets is generally in a state of erosion,with a total erosion amount of 51.47 million m³ from 2003 to 2011 and 99 million m³ from 2011 to 2016.The entrance areas have been expanded,but the actual flow capacity has not been significantly improved.…”

Schools and New Learning Spaces in Milan. An Educational Experience by António Carvalho, Szymon Ruszczewski, Filippo Piscioli

“…The students considered different pedagogical models translated into spaces, confronting them with theoretical models and reference case studies, ultimately contributing to the discussion surrounding the school of the future.The project experiences explore the possible forms and organisation of spaces, so that the school becomes a centre open to the inhabitants of the district, and a space for learning about society and the city. This requires a clear articulation between safety solutions designed to protect the very young pupils, while providing coherent and autonomous access to adults and other users from the community, so as to share the cultural and sporting facilities of the school. …”
