Design of task dividing and offloading algorithm in mobile edge computing by Jing LU, Hanlin LI, Lin GAO

“…Mobile edge computing (MEC) emerges as a new paradigm that pushes the computing infrastructure from the remote cloud data center to the edge equipments.It provides a new solution to meet the delay sensitive and computing intensive requirements of Internet of things (IoT).In this work, the problem of tasks offloading and scheduling in the multi-user and multi-server MEC system was considered.Specifically, each user had a task-dependent application and the tasks could be either executed locally or remotely according to the dependence.Thus, the network performance was improved by unloading and scheduling the sub tasks.Quality of experience (QoE) and fairness between users were used to characterize the network performance, and the optimization problem was modeled as a joint dependent task offloading and scheduling (J-DTOS) problem.The J-DTOS problem was a non-linear mixed integer programming, which was NP-hard in general.The original problem was reformulated by introducing intermediate variables and proposing a near-optimal solution.Simulation results show that the proposed offloading and scheduling design can significantly improve the performance of the system.…”

RANSAC based robust localization algorithm for visual sensor network by Bo ZHANG, Hai-yong LUO, Ji-wei LIU, Fang ZHAO

“…Due to node failures or environmental changes,observed data on the target will be error in visual sensor network,so the least squares based multi-vision localization algorithm won’t be accurate.A centralized RANSAC based robust localization method was proposed,which can remove the error data and improve the positioning accuracy.Furthermore,to address this issue,energy imbalance of network nodes in centralized RANSAC where all computing load is executed in one single node,a robust localization algorithm based on distributed RANSAC was also proposed,which can distribute a large number of iterative calculations into each node averagely to ensure the network balance on calculation and energy without affecting the robustness.Finally,through comparing experiments on no-RANSAC,cen-RANSAC and dis-RANSAC,it’s verified that this algorithm can obtain robust and good positioning results in a predetermined probability,and the time complexity was analyzed via experiment.…”

Research on switch migration method based on minimum cost path by Yingxu LAI, Yewei PU, Jing LIU

“…In order to protect the controller,especially the controller in backbone network,from security threats and attacks,improve the security of the software-defined network (SDN) control plane,a switch migration algorithm based on minimum cost path was proposed.A load prediction module was added to the migration model,which executed a controller load prediction algorithm to obtain a load prediction matrix,and then a migration-target controller set was determined according to the load prediction matrix.The improved Dijkstra algorithm was used to determine the minimum cost path.According to the load state of the controller and the traffic priority of the switch to be migrated,the optimal migration switch set was determined.The problem of isolated nodes was solved that may occur during the migration process.The experimental results show that the migration timing of the algorithm is more reasonable,the selection of the migration controller and the target controller is more reasonable,the load balancing of the control plane is realized,the number of migrations and cost are reduced,and the performance of the controller is improved.…”

Research on RTF array overflow vulnerability detection by De-guang LE, Sheng-rong GONG, Shao-gang WU, Feng XU, Wen-sheng LIU

“…When the virtual function was executed,it could cause array overflow vulnerability due to error operation of the virtual function table of C++ object.By attacking the virtual function,it could cause the system crash,or even the attacker to control the execution of program directly was allowed,which threatened user’s security seriously.In order to find and fix this potential security vulnerability as soon as possible,the technology for detecting such security vulnerability was studied.Based on the analysis of the virtual function call during the MS Word parsing RTF files,the array overflow vulnerability generated by MS Word parsing abnormal RTF files,and a new RTF array overflow vulnerability detection method based on the file structure analytical Fuzzing was proposed.Besides,an RTF array overflow vulnerability detection tool (RAVD,RTF array vulnerability detector) was designed.The test results show RAVD can detect RTF array overflow vulnerabilities correctly.Moreover,the Fuzzing results show RAVD has higher efficiency in comparison with traditional file Fuzzing tools.…”
