Path Planning for a Space-Based Manipulator System Based on Quantum Genetic Algorithm by Zhengcang Chen, Weijia Zhou

“…We then adopt a quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) to solve this objective optimization problem to attain the optimized trajectories of the joints and then execute nonholonomic path planning. To test the proposed method, we carried out a simulation on a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) space-based manipulator system (SBMS). …”

Mining and utilization of network protocol’s stealth attack behavior by Yan-jing HU, Qing-qi PEI

“…The survivability,concealment and aggression of network protocol’s stealth attack behaviors were very strong,and they were not easy to be detected by the existing security measures.In order to compensate for the shortcomings of existing protocol analysis methods,starting from the instructions to implement the protocol program,the normal behavior instruction sequences of the protocol were captured by dynamic binary analysis.Then,the potential stealth attack behavior instruction sequences were mined by means of instruction clustering and feature distance computation.The mined stealth attack behavior instruction sequences were loaded into the general executing framework for inline assembly.Dynamic analysis was implemented on the self-developed virtual analysis platform HiddenDisc,and the security of stealth attack behaviors were evaluated.Excepting to mining analysis and targeted defensive the stealth attack behaviors,the stealth attack behaviors were also formally transformed by the self-designed stealth transformation method,by using the stealth attack behaviors after transformation,the virtual target machine were successfully attacked and were not detected.Experimental results show that,the mining of protocol stealth attack behaviors is accurate,the transformation and use of them to increase information offensive and defensive ability is also feasible.…”

Provably secure quantum resistance two-server password-authenticated key exchange protocol by Anqi YIN, Yuanbo GUO, Ding WANG, Tongzhou QU, Lin CHEN

“…Aiming at the problem that the lattice-based single-sever password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocols are not resistant to server compromise attack, while the existing lattice-based multi-server PAKE protocols are inefficient and incompatible with two-server scenarios.The first lattice-based two-party smooth projective hash function (SPHF) was proposed by utilizing the learning with errors (LWE), which was indistinguishability under adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack(IND-CCA2) secure.The parameters of the based public key encryption (PKE) scheme were also identified.On this basis, pertinent two-server PAKE protocols from lattices were designed countering both passive and active attackers.The two quantum resistance protocols were able to achieve password-only settings and the expensive cryptographic primitives were not used, including signature/verification, fully homomorphic encryption and secret sharing.The utilization of zero knowledge proofs were avoided by the protocol under the passive attackers.In the standard model, rigorous security proofs were provided for the two proposed protocols.Experimental results show that the proposed SPHF and PAKE protocols exhibit higher execution efficiency.…”

Intersubjectivity and co-constructed framings: students’ role-play talks in online English-speaking sessions by Leslie Huishan Li

“…In language education settings, activities associated with interactions often reflect multi-layered participant orientations beyond mere linguistic execution. From the perspectives of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, linguistic actions are effective only when they are intersubjectively understood: the complexity of an activity necessitates corresponding levels of intersubjectivity for smooth progression. …”

Multi-node cooperative distributed offloading strategy in V2X scenario by Dun CAO, Yingbao ZHANG, Dian ZOU, Jin WANG, Qiang TANG, Baofeng JI

“…In order to cope with the dynamic changes of the offloading environment for computing resource-intensive and separable tasks in Internet of vehicle and deal with the problem that different collaborative nodes had different communication and computing resources, a distributed offloading strategy that multiple collaborative nodes had serial offloading mode and parallel computing mode in vehicle to everything (V2X) scenario was proposed.Utilizing the predictable motion trajectories of vehicle, the tasks were split into unequal parts, finally each part was computed on itself, mobile edge server, and vehicles in parallel.Then an optimization problem of the system time delay minimization was established.To solve the optimization problem, an offloading scheme based on the game theory was designed to determine the serial offloading execution order of the cooperative nodes.Considering the dynamic characteristics of Internet of vehicles, a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm was adopted to optimally split tasks.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively reduce system delay, and when multiple cooperative nodes offload in parallel, the proposed strategy can still maintain the stable system performance under the different parameter conditions.…”
